Seems like it could be quite a car... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA88iWj2lLk

hmm, comparing a 506 bhp car with an RS4 with only 450 - hardly a fair comparison although the Volvo would be perfect for Parptoot's pipe and cloth cap :biggrin3:

hmmm... Shock horror. A £100,000 limited / one-off concept is faster than a 50k full scale production car.
Lets see the details when /if it ever makes production.

Yeah I'm sure bmw and audi (as well as many other companies) could build a car for 200000 euros with 500bhp that goes round a track fast. The trick is make it comfortable to ride in as a daily

So....of the three cars (all driven by the guy paid to drive for Volvo)...the fastest car was....the Volvo?

Anyway that Volvo, like the mental c30 before it, will never get made, thus it is irrelevant.

I'm actually impressed the RS4 matched the M3.

Neat vid though...thanks for posting it. They gave me one of those magazines on my last Lufthansa flight. Even though I can't read German, I loved it.

They might make a polestar S60. And the only thing that will set it apart from the regular S60 will be the blue colour and a slight retune +10% hp and lowering springs :roll:

I've always been a Volvo turbo guy (see avatar) but this is just stupid.

RS4 sound ftw by the way.
B7 RS4 saloon Misano red, comfy seats, JHM tune & JHM full exhaust with cats and resonators - gone.
C5 RS6 Avant Daytona/Cognac - gone.
981 Cayman GTS Gray/Orange.
