All BTCC 850:s and S40:s used 2 liter naturally aspirated engines to comply with Super Touring car rules. They had around 300 hp and had a mandated revlimit of 8500 rpm. The BTCC Volvo engines were based on the 850 2.0 20V from the Italian domestic market
The cornering performance of these Volvos are incredible. Volvo really needs to get back to racing. It will never happen of course, but it would be amazing to see them join back in these types of touring car championships.
Wyatt Foster no worries, the Porsches competed in a different class. I had the pleasure to win eight out of eleven Nordschleife races that year incl. the 24 hours in our class. Two more wins of my team mates made the Volvo the most succesful car at the Ring in 2004.
This is true but that’s the nature of the race. You have to use the advantages you have. And the Porsche has more power but the s60 came through the corners better so of course they will try to hold them up😅 not to say it isn’t frustrating though. I totally agree with that.
I visit this video many times because this is just one of the most astounding sounding Volvos I have ever heard in my life and because I also have an S60. It's nothing like this though, just a street car but I have to ask you because I'm doing a tune up. What type of spark plugs do you use? Thankyou again for this fantastic Race. I listen to this Motor like it is a Beethoven Symphony...
Nicolas Burylo no worries, the Porsches competed in a diffeent class. I had the pleasure to win eight outof eleven Nordschleife races that year incl. the 24 hours in our class. Two more wins of my team mates made the Volvo the most succesful car at the Ring in 2004.
My S60R loves this shit.. you said NA, no Turbo - nuts! Once you hit 3rd the 2005 R is a rocket of a Volvo, even on the stock K24, 40 to 120 will suprise the opponent.. I wonder what suspension they're on.
kyzmitch2 We only had some 290 hp and the Porsches competed in a diffeent class. I had the pleasure to win eight out of eleven Nordschleife races that year incl. the 24 hours in our class. Two more wins of my team mates made the Volvo the most succesful car at the Ring in 2004.

This is a 2.5 liter version, there was a rare 5 cylinder 2.0T version sold during the early 2000s actually, but this one is naturally aspirated. The S2000 was a 2 liter version, but this is a different build.

Simply put - if I would have been alone, I would have used the entire track width of course - I always do (even though in some places at the Nordschleife it's better not to do so, because you can safe some 40 (!) meters per lap. The thing here was that after a bad start I was quicker than my team mate ahead and the Porsches as long as we didn't hit a straight line. So I was trying to bother them a bit by using a different line. And as you can see, I didn't lose out on the cars ahead. In the end, I did win that race, so obviously I must have done something right in the end ;-)
Is this AWD drive or FWD? AWD would explain the lack of speed on the straights I guess due to power restrictions. S60R was AWD back in the day wasn't it?
The Btcc & Stcc S40 5 inline was incredible
And the S40 had only the 2.0L engine😂

S60 and 5 cylinder... the perfect dual!!!! I love this car!!!

P2s are ridiculously fun to drive
Something really magnetic in this videos, once you press play cant stop watching
Please keep these coming!! All racing fans are in desperate need of on-board content. Thank you!
Volvo 5 cylinder
This was too frustrating to watch. Those Porsches would hold him up in the corners and blast off down the straights.
The Volvo needs another 20hp from each cylinder I think.

I like touring car and these Volvo is beautiful!!! Thanks for these video. Have you more laps?
In past I captured only the first lap and now I can't find the old DV-Tapes for capturing again. I have over 250 Tapes but these I miss ...
@@RACEMEDIATV What size of tape do you need?
9:45 You have an onboard video with this Astra Coupe?
search dtm opel astra v8 coupe in this channel
@@신지훈-h6oYeah, but it is not a DTM version.

I wonder what suspension they're on.
That was all tailor made racing stuff, the entire car had never seen a production line.
Some Volvo S60s had Ohlin suspension. I am still dreaming of making my T5 into a track car.
@@ulliandree1129 What diameter and width wheels did you guys run on this car. I am looking at running 18x8.5 et 43 on my all round with 245x40 18s.

That red line tho
Wow, tolles Video! Da hätte ich das ganze Rennen anschauen können. Gibt es i-wo mehr Infos zum Auto?
perfect turns and handling by driver, but can't argue with Porsche on long sprints

You can drive this car on the same track in Forza 3 The engine sounds the same...That Engine sounds incredible.
Thanks for these videos 👍. Question though, what transmission is he running? It looks sequential , but he lifts his right foot when shifting up
He is driving a dogbox transmission. So he must lift the gas for shifting.
Sequential but without ignition cut for shifting.
Jan Kuratczyk ok thanks

Ulli Andree awesome. Thanks for seeing my comment 👍
Have you others S60 videos??? 🙏
and the volvo fans go wild :-)
What engine it is? Sounds like N/A one.
It is a N/A engine. It was fitting the S2000 rules this way.
@@julosx Ok, but originally S60 didn't have 2 liter n/a engine. Only 850's and S70 had one. Did the rules allowed to use engine fron different model.
This is a 2.5 liter version, there was a rare 5 cylinder 2.0T version sold during the early 2000s actually, but this one is naturally aspirated.
The S2000 was a 2 liter version, but this is a different build.
@@fontheking5the Italians got the 2.0T, 2L 5cyl turbo in the s60
The 911s are Cup cars ?

Wow, is it really new video? because it has Opel 😁 don't remember the model name, but it looks beautiful. Is it Opel VECTRA?
Astra Coupé I believe, designed by Bertone.
🌟🏁🇺🇦👍
AWD, RWD?
FWD
Was the NA on ITBs? Sounds a bit meaner than an open 5cyl Turbo
Yeah it's NA. You can compare it with the S2000 S60 touring cars
@@W4CHHUNDi awesome!How much Hp does it make?
It would be nice to see it again on the nordschleife.
@@billjohnson1809 290 Hp when running on E85.
needs more power! would spank them porsche's
Cars passing by despite me giving my best would have depressesd me alot

It kind of bugs me how he's not using the whole track
Maybe it's wet sometimes or less rubber

Is the engine Turbocharged? What's the Mods?
No it's NA
That S60 slow
Oof they don't hold up to well against the 996.
Porsches and Volvos are not running against each other since they're not from the same class of cars.
it was shit in straight, shit in corners
but still
it got magnificent noise!!!!
GEIL!

S60R was AWD back in the day wasn't it?
Zootopia96 This has FWD
