A Volvo didn't make it to best saloons shortlist - if only it could have included pre-1998...
We wanted a Volvo in the best saloons vote, we really did. Because who doesn’t love a fast Volvo? But when you look back over the past quarter of a century, it’s hard to really say that any of them are worthy of inclusion in a 'best of the best' list. Perhaps if thathad made production, we’d be having a different discussion.
Volvo didn’t ignore the popularity of the T5; it was followed by the T-5R limited edition, which became the series production 850 R in 1996. That meant 250hp from the five-cylinder turbo thanks to a larger Garrett blower and intercooler. It was lower than any other T5 on unique wheels, with a limited slip diff on manual cars doing its best to get that monstrous power to the road. With everything at its best, Volvo claimed 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and 150mph.
