I'm afraid Philip is right, except that the homologation for 240 Turbos took place before the '83 model year. The homologation rules required 5000 production cars. The special edition '83 turbos were only made to justify the 500 car minimum for a special evolution setup... the one they used to win races. The production "flathood" cars had nothing else in common with the cars they used to build race cars. The race car bodies were specially ordered through Volvo... it was the only way I know of they could get a 242 Turbo WITHOUT a sunroof.
