1996 Volvo 850 Turbo With Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Boca Raton, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale: 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo. Has approximately 100k miles. Good fun car. Quite fast and very fun. 5 speed transmission. Has been in one "accident" when I was up North and slid into a sign in the snow, minor body damage to passenger rear quarter panel. I am the second owner. This car has been extensively upgraded while I worked on it for an engineering project at school.
Here is a list of the upgrades: -Larger turbocharger -Full exhaust -R exhaust manifold -Ported and polished intake manifold -Intake manifold spacer -Larger throttle body -Higher flowing fuel injectors -S60 2.5T engine head -MSD ignition coil -Heavy duty compressor bypass valve -Silicone vacuum lines -Poly upper engine mount -New transmission torque mount -Replaced subframe bushings -Poly subframe bushing inserts -Front and rear sway bar from IPD -Front poly sway bar bushings -Front strut brace -D2 Racing coilovers, front and back, height and dampening adjustable -Adjustable endlinks -Custom ARD Blue tune (increased mpg's and speed) -HID headlights (6000k) -Gold powdercoated BBS wheels It's important to note that since so much work was done to the car, a majority of the seals and gaskets (included head gasket) were changed to accommodate the increase in power. Reason I'm selling: can't afford two cars in college, this was meant to be an Integrated Systems Engineering project only. Another thing to note is the mileage discrepancy, which was caused by a broken odometer gear. This is a very common issue with Volvos and I have been told it is an easy fix. I never took care of it because it was outside the range of my project guidelines. |

Volvo previews Concept XC Coupe ahead of Detroit reveal [w/video]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Volvo is in the midst of a three-stage design revolution. The first stage came with the reveal of the Concept Coupe in Frankfurt just this past September. What you see here is our first glimpse at the second stage.
The Volvo Concept XC Coupe previewed here will be unveiled in full on January 8 in advance of the Detroit Auto Show. While the previous concept was all sleek, the Concept XC Coupe takes a more rugged, utilitarian approach with a hatchback roofline, higher ride height, knobbier tires, lower body cladding and a rooftop box. From what we can see, it looks like a cross between the previous concept and an XC70 wagon that could preview a soft-road replacement for the C30 hatchback.
That's about all there is to say at this point, but you can scope out the press release along with the video below and the trio of teaser images in the gallery above.
Geely to release models developed with Volvo in 2015
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Geely and Volvo will finally team up for a jointly developed vehicle, more than three years after the safety-minded Swedish brand was gobbled up by Geely's parent company, according to a report in Automotive News Europe. The story quotes Geely's CEO, Gui Sheng Yue saying, "We have entered into actual research and development stage and I believe we can see the new product in the year after next."
That means 2015, which is a mighty ambitious timetable to bring a vehicle to market. But as Geely's CEO explains, life isn't going to get any easier in the Chinese market, "Competitive pressure on domestic brands in the China market should increase considerably in the coming years as most major international brands are strengthening their presence," he told ANE. Those statements also tell us that we shouldn't expect to see Geely on American shores any time soon. The brand is simply too focused on topping the Chinese market, at least among CDM brands.
Volvo makes the XC60 disappear into art
Sun, 16 Jun 2013For the last few years, Volvo has set up an art display in the Zurich, Switzerland central train station called the Volvo Art Session, allowing select artists - both established and up-and-coming - to create temporary exhibits with one of Volvo's products acting as the centerpiece. This year, six artists from across Europe converged in Zurich to turn a 2014 Volvo XC60 into a work of art.
Each started with a blank white canvas, creating a massive display in what Volvo says is one of the busiest covered public places in Europe, and after each was done, it was all erased for the next artists to come in and do his or her thing. While some made the XC60 a focal point in the art, others made the crossover seemingly disappear. We have a gallery of all six finished pieces, but if you want to see background of the artists or time-lapse videos of their works, head over to VolvoArtSessions.com. This site also shows the exhibits from the prior two years, and a press release can be found below.
