In 1985 I took my '77 264GL in to my local Volvo dealer for servicing. There was a new 740 TURBO INTERCOOLER on the lot and I was allowed to take it for a test drive while mine was in the shop. Back then the 740's came with the B23F engine which for that year was rated @130HP. With the turbo that was bumped up to 160HP. With the addition of the intercooler that went up to either 188 or 190HP. In testing by either 'Road & Track' or 'Motor Trend' magazine they had recorded a 0 - 60 mph time of 6.7 seconds with the manual, which was a tick faster than the Chevrolet Corvette of that year. In my test drive I got it up to 180 KMH in a very short time. It was incredibly quick! I would have gone for more but a heavy rain was coming down and I didn't want to put even a scratch on that new test car. It's probably the quickest and fastest car that I have ever driven!
I'd have to say this is the best example of a 740 turbo i've ever seen! I haven't seen a single 1 with that red / burgundy color interior wheere i'm from (Australia)
Riktigt fin bil du har! Jag köpte själv precis en -90:a som inte är i fint skick alls. Men den är reggad med 140 kW och T31B (Motor ändrad) iaf. Och alla Volvo turbo är ju värda att räddas 🙂
Still drive my 1990 945t daily.. love it!

Nice 740 Rurbo Intercooler,I am surprised you didn*t put the rear spoiler and front airbag to make it look even sportier.
Front airbag?

Riktigt roligt att du gillar den!
Kul att du hittat en att rädda, ganska svårt numera att ens hitta en sådan 😊
What I wanted to say is the front air dam.and the rear spoiler it looks nice even if it is painted the same color as the car.
