New Volvo P1800 Concept
Just announced
How did Volvo out Pro-Tour the big 3??
Powering the beast is a 4.4-liter V8 borrowed from a Volvo XC90 SUV that's been force-fed by a turbocharger and routes its 600 horses through a six-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels.

it needs a better name than "P1800" if it wants to be called "Pro Touring".

OMG!!!
That's so right on the spot! P1800 sounds more than adequate to me!
According to a report by Auto Express, this custom Swede is slated to enter small-scale production at some unspecified date in the future.

That's because it's the same guy building it. The guy is young too... early 20s I think. Very talented builder/designer. Originally Posted by 72tunaboat

BTW, would P1800 be more worthy if it was making 1800 horsepower?

The wagon is cool as hell. The concept is sex on wheels.

A good article on the Volvo 4.4L http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2...14/303081.html. "...V8 that is just 754 mm long and 635 mm wide,...weighs just 190 kg,...315 horsepower and its torque is a massive 440 Nm at 3900 r/min" seems engineered around fuel economy and emissions, I would imagine there's 0 aftermarket support for this mill.You can't be slick to a can of oil

That's not much bigger than a S2000 engine.
If I ever do my Cat 7 build I'm gonna have to seriously consider that1971 Camaro, 383 stroker ~500HP,M21 Trans with lightened flywheel. All Sorts of Auto-x Goodness in the Suspension. 12" Brakes ->SOLD
