Not Your Mom's Volvo 240

I have always thought of the Volvo 240 as a strange looking car. It reminded of a cell-block on wheels. The type of cell block to transport a gang load of soccer kids, or the type of vehicle that is used to transport a Mastiff dog. The cars were usually a dreary dull silver color too, which never caught my attention until 2 years ago.

2 years ago while cruising around my neighborhood with my friend we saw the strangest and coolest car ever. It was a stunning black Volvo 240, but this one was a couple and it looked clean and lowered. It was fast too. My friend and I were driving our SR20DET powered 325 Convertible BMW, and this Volvo kept up. I was a fan. Officially. Really a big fan. This car looked intense, gloss black coupe. I thought back that moment and could only remember the Volvo 240 as a 4 door or a station wagon. This car had different tailights, probably Swedish Spec. I was in love. This guy had a love for Swedish cars, and I understood.

So now I present to you some modified Volvo 240's. Sure they are very safe cars, but also drag strip and Touring car monsters.

This car is a stroked 2.6L Turbo using a Super 60 Turbonetics Turbo. This car produces well over 300 ft-lb of torque and does a 0-60 in 5.9s. Also nicely lowered on coilover suspension and taken to ThunderHill Raceway for weekend track racing. Brilliant!







Group A ETCC Volvo 240 Turbo?!?!?

Uhhhhhhhhh........



So yeah, not your ordinary Volvo.
