Volvo now claims 5.4 seconds for 0 to 60 mph, go check it out. And autoweek claims that Volvo called this estimate "conservative" and high 4 second passes to 60 were hinted. To my knowledge the American Audi S4 ran 5.5 seconds to 60. If this 5.4 second claim from Volvo is anything like their other claims it could be too slow. Ex. Volvo claimed the S80 T6 was 7.0, R&T 6.6, C&D 6.3 for the SE executive edition. S70 T-5 manual 6.9 from Volvo, 6.1 from R&T, etc, etc. So it is possible this thing could run low 5's/high 4's which would put it in the same category as the M's and faster than the new S4 (5.6). We will have to wait and see.
