Potential Omega replacement material. Shame the S60R are rare. S60 T5 are ok but aren't they FWD ?

Is that 300 bhp in power...wow, I know they are fast but...sshhheessshhhh

Its amazing considering the 2.6 Omega has around 179BHP if I'm correct and this Volvo S60R 2.5/2.6 turbo 300BHP

yes that's what I thought, I only say that cause I saw a similar one or two on motorway cops last night but wasn't sure of the spec

but nice motor though

The s60's a nice car if a little small in the back, they handle pretty well and are well built but have crap traction

The police haven't used the S60R, but have and still do use the S60 T5, some have used the D5.
The S60R is the only model to have a twin tailpipe fitted, all others use a single tailpipe.
The S60 was introduced on an 'X' plate with the 2.0T 5 cylinder with 180bhp, 2.4D 163BHP, D5 185bhp, T5 250bhp and 2.4 with 205 bhp
The range was then facelifted around '54' registration. This gave them slightly different interiors, wheels, new headlights and clearer rear lamp units. Chrome trim fitted to the bumper insrets on SE models. The T5 then produced 260bhp, the 2.4 was replaced with the 2.5 which produced 210bhp. Diesel engines remained the same.
There was another facelift typically around '57' registration which moved the side indicators from the body to the door mirror.
The final adjustments were made in 2008 where they gained a subtle, if odd lower spoiler by the front valance. The rear Volvo badging changed from 'Volvo' to V O L V O with greater spaces creating a longer name plate on the boot.

The S60 is a good solid dependable car with very good specification.
The current S80 generation 2007+ does just beat it though.

That you posted is a manual, although it's listed as an auto, the auto box in these really dulls the performance though. Manual only in my opinion for an S60/V70 R or T5. They're very quality cars as Josh mentioned, fell very solidly built, and if looked after will go on for years.

I nearly bought a S80 D5 instead of my first Omega
