The "R" (for "race" --OK they have a sense of humor at Volvo!) has "R" badges plastered all over the car - front, back, sides, wheels and instruments.

The motor is 2.5 liters and 300hp.

The car is AWD, and has blue instruments.

You wouldn't mistake one for a garden-variety Volvo, at least not if you drove the two.

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." -- Douglas Noel Adams (1952-2001)
