2006 Volvo S60 R T5 AWD | Full In Depth Review | High Performance Capability

Imagine sports car performance, poised for action - ready for the moment you feel the urge to use it. This is the Volvo S60 R, a powerful, yet refined vehicle to fulfill every aspect of your driving desire. The Volvo S60 R is one of the fastest cars Volvo has ever built. Advanced technologies interact to help put this power safely in your hands. Sophisticated suspension systems, AWD with Instant Traction™, close ratio steering and Brembo brakes all combine for an awe-inspiring drive.
Our review subject represents the 1st generation S60 and was produced at the Volvo Cars Ghent Assembly Plant in Belgium in March of 2006. The S60 R continued the tradition of "R" cars for Volvo beginning in 1995 with the introduction of the 850 T-5 R.
To recap...Three hundred horsepower. Two-hundred ninety-five foot pounds of torque. Zero to sixty in less than six seconds*. These are some of the
numbers that will get your pulse racing when sitting at the wheel of a Volvo R model.
