Those were based on a mitsubishi platform(I presume with a mitsu engine?), though the new V50(V40 replacement) and S40 are based on the next-gen Focus architecture and have a Volvo-proprietary Turbo-5cylinder.

Correct. Old school S40 is basically a rehashed Mitsubishi, platform and engine.

The Delorean is a British automotive icon? Since when?

I'd more likely guess Triumph. Maybe the Spitfire?
