Rafał Kąkolewski First generation they made a V6 that was capable of beating the Mustang 5.0 V8 and it was very high revving engine it was a monster at the time a real sleeper
Bobby Bob - Incorrect as the S80 and XC90 wouldn’t have had a V8 without Ford as Ford had a long-standing relationship with Yamaha from the Taurus SHO days. Ford’s ownership (which ended long before the new 2 liter engine came out) also fostered the great 3.0 T6.
Can disagree. Yes, they sound loud and somewhat brutal but become boring to hear quickly. There's no special vibe in these like in v10s or I-5s. I'd prefer a boosted JZ or RB any day.
Yeah, I totally agree. These new engines are the same as in all other low-quality brands. 5-cyl. were at least unique and cool-sounding, including diesels. Not to mention the brilliant V8. Now imagine that V8 combined with an electric motor.
@@VToldsMotoShow i used to be a Volvo mechanic, and I have worked on many V8 both XC90 and S80, and they have very few engine problems, but then again, the people who own them, takes good care of them. I own a Volvo 850 T5, love the sound of it, but nothing beats that V8 sound 😍 My car www.bilgalleri.dk/galleri/228265-volvo_850_t5_r_design__red_diamond___solgt_
Swedish cars are something else really. I currently have a Saab 9-5 wagon with built 2.3L engine, pushing quite conservative 330hp as it's a daily. As I have a family on it's way, I would love S80 V8 or XC70 T5/6 as a second car.
What a beatiful car. Volvo was really underated back then. I really wish they would release another s80 with a proper v8 in the future. Doubt that would ever happen tho
I don't think that Volvo have the guts to do that anymore. Reality shows that they don't and they won't. Only 4-cyl 2.0l engines. Shame! But we still have Mercedes-Benz, Jeep and some others to choose from. Volvo is gone in my opinion. However, they may still come up with something like full electrification. God knows what they can do with the help of Chinese capital.
Unfortunately it was never a very popular vehicle here in Uruguay, I am a friend of the Multimotors staff (importers of Volvo) until 2 years ago, they had a 2007 D5, they never managed to sell it, the s80 was too expensive, here only came under demand, that The unit was for a wealthy veteran, who had ordered it, but during the order until arriving in the country, the guy died and had only paid the entrance fee. I looked inside and out, and it is in an absolutely perfect state of conservation, only 894km. At the time it cost 85,000 dollars, but according to the staff of the company, who`s came with 50000 in hand, fast and easy to take it (but that was 2 years ago, I do not know if they still sold it) but I know if I won in the lottery, not to mention it would be mine, may be 2007 but it is a beautiful car. From 99 until the time it was made only sold between 15 to 20 units here, it is a very rare car around here !!!
Wow, this is making the S80 really unique there. But that's the story of some markets where there is no deep involvement of the "mother-company" and only local importers work. They do the job but on a small scale. The fact is that this is a very nice car indeed. Very elegant.
I’m American, i love Volvo’s cuz i had experience with lot of different of them, real quality n affordable cars, right now I’m looking for V70-R stick shift, people saying it’s drives like bmw m edition, so yeah lot of loves for Volvo here man
Interesting but I think that there's a lot of truth in that. If you mean the last V70 R, then I wouldn't be so sure if it actually driver very well. I have some experiences with an S60 (2001) and its suspension was an absolute crap - the loudest thing in the world. Otherwise would give a comfy feeling but at the end not at all. Build quality inside was also not very good with handles that you could break with your hand. However, if you're talking about the "classic" V70 that was introduced after 850 model, then that may be a different story.
Have a 2006 XC90 V8 AWD - bought it upon the birth of our 2nd baby.... for the last 13 yrs it’s been the car our nanny drives and in which I carry my 4 dogs. Now also have a 2019 XC90 AWD Inscription.
Shame they don't put a V8 into the new XC90. At least this would give it proper character. However, I heard that the T8 hybrid can give a proper kick. Hope you enjoy the new one.
Old 850 R and later S60 T5 and R was my dream car. And now, I own one of my dram car Volvo s60 T5 MY2009 (P2 platform) :) And I am so happy. Maybe one time I will buy S80 V8 too :)
S80 V8 seems like the last solid car from Volvo. Except for its gearbox perhaps. But at least it had something that was making it different - a crazy, extremely-quickly-responding V8. Now these Volvos are all the same with the same engines and even interiors. Cheers mate!
@@VToldsMotoShow You are right. New Volvos looks good but thats all. Volvos 5 cylinder engines have lovely uniqe sound. And V8 have angry "sexy" sound :D I like it :) I really miss your Volvo S80
Sounds like some of the trucks around here, I prefer a bit more crackle in the exhaust note. This is still pretty great though, not to mention this car doesn't look like it should make those sounds.
Well, actually, the sound if this car can be modified to achieve either more bassy or more metallic/muscle-car-like sound if one would wish to do that.

I had a 2007 S80 V8 until early 2013. It was a beautiful car in every way. I loved that car.
Yes, I like how comfortable it is and simply classy comparing to German cars.
A V8 AWD S80 is by far the most subtle Super-Saloon.

Everyone knows German Saloons, that's the point I am making, neither of them is as exclusive as this Volvo S80.
