Volvo Dealer gets into the Christmas Spirit with Red 850 T-5R Pickup Truck


During the Holiday season, if not all, most car showrooms in Christian dominated countries are dressed up for Christmas with traditional decorations, but one dealer in the Dutch-speaking city of Mechelen in Belgium, had a much grander idea.

According to Autofans, the Volvo dealer at Mechelen brought in one of his private cars to put on display on the showroom floor – and not any car, mind you, but a mid-1990s Volvo 850 T-5R conversion into a two-door pickup truck.

Volvo Terror is a Turbocharged Tractor that will Knock Your Socks Off


It will burn rubber, do donuts, drift on the field and at the same time, plow your farm; meet the Volvo Terror, an old tractor from the middle of the last century that has been outfitted with a Volvo-sourced B21ET turbocharged petrol engine.

The B21ET belongs to Volvo's Redblock gasoline engine series and was used on cars like the 240. In factory form, the 2.1-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine developed 155hp (157PS). Whether the engine found in the tractor is completely stock or has been upgraded, remains unknown.

Volvo Sends 508hp S60 Polestar Performance Concept to Russia


For a car that has already been sold to an unidentified American buyer for the paltry sum of $300,000 or the equivalent of a BMW M5 ($89,000) sedan, a Porsche 991 Carrera Convertible ($93,700) and a Corvette ZR1 ($112,600), the one-off Volvo S60 Polestar Performance Concept is sure racking up a lot of miles.

On the other hand, the buyer had been informed by Volvo officials that he would receive the car only after Polestar finishes promoting it to the media and the public.

Volvette V70 Police Car is Here to Serve Some Crazy Donuts


Volvo station wagons have always been some of the most understated and widely misunderstood cars in the market, which ultimately makes them the ideal candidates for insane sleeper (or Q) cars.

As clearly hinted by its name, the Volvette featured here is a V70 estate that does away with its factory Volvo engine to adopt an American heart and drivetrain from an early 2000s Corvette C5 Z06.

Watch a Rookie Airplane Pilot Plane Give a Volvo SUV a Haircut


It doesn't take a nuclear physicist to understand that there's a problem when a private roadway borders with a landing strip.

Yet, for whatever reason, there's a road on the side of the runway at the Northwest Regional Airport in Roanoke, Texas, and surprise, surprise, a small plane that was preparing to land clipped a passenger car, and it was all caught on film by the pilot's wife.

Volvo's 508hp S60 Polestar Performance Versus the BMW M3 and Audi RS4 Avant


Can a Volvo model ever beat the German automakers in their own game? Well, the answer to that question really depends on which game you are referring to since die Deutsche brands have spread their wings in just about every niche there is.

So let's be more specific: can a performance orientated Volvo family car threaten two of Germany's finest and fastest mid-size sports models, the BMW M3 and the Audi RS4?

If we're talking about the Volvo S60 Polestar Performance sedan, it certainly has the brute force to do so. The only problem is that, for now, the S60 Polestar Performance is a one-off model that has yet to receive the green light for even a limited series production run.
