Default Heico Sportiv S80 (Volvo)

I wish FoA could take a leaf out of Volvo's books when designing the next Falcon!
And with a 260kw, 550Nm Turbo 6, this is no slow Volvo!

Sounds like its almost using a phoon engine.

Why would Ford be taking a "leaf out of Volvo's book" when its nothing special, phoon infact has 10 more KW's..

He was referring to the incredibly sexy (for a Volvo) styling of the S80.

The old man has got a S60R. All I can say is dont knock it til you've tried it. pretty quick too.

The old lady had a blowout in it, lost the whole front tyre off the rim and still drove 10ks down the highway without knowing until people flagged her off the road.
