Default Volvo S60-R

Two intercoolers (wtf?)
5cyl 2,3L Turbo, 300hp
4WD

0-60mph = 5.7sec

"Volvo said that S60-R is a rival against the M3" I dont think they have any chance against the m3.

But how the hell is it two intercoolers? Where are they placed? :thinking:

Here in the USA the S60R stickers for about $10,000 less than the M3. In terms of price it competes with the 330i Performance Package and kills it in the numbers game.

Dunno about the intercoolers. I'd have to see a technical drawing to figure out how exactly that is set up.

same thing in sweden, a brand new m3 cost 600.000sek and a new s60r cost 500.000sek thats 100.000sek difference = about 10k us$

It is a pretty hot car. Plus the awd is a nice feature to have. I think that it is a less expensive choice than the S4 and has very similar numbers as the S4.

yup its a clean car, i tested the S60 T5 with 250hp. It was really fast, but the problem is that you dont feel the power from the motor. Its like fake power, i dont know but maybe cuz Honda have the horny sound of the motor. But i didnt feel any sound from the motor, i was just feeling the sound of wind.

And the tiptronic gear was shit! It the worst thing ever made in car history, i coudnt shift down at high rpm level. You can shift down from 2000rpm, You cannot shift down from 4000rpm for example..I dont know but i didnt like it. :dunno: maybe it was just that one
