PRACTICALLY PERFECT

Volvo's 850R combines Power and Refinement

Volvo has launched its most exciting standard production road car in the

company's 70-year history - the new Volvo 850R.

The new 850R adds extreme performance and sensational handling to

Volvo's traditional attributes of safety, durability and reliability.

Following on from the phenomenal success of the highly acclaimed limited

edition 850 T-5R - of which Volvo sold more than 400 in the UK - the even

more powerful 850R becomes a permanent feature in the 850 line-up.

Styling remains similar to the muscular, athletic look of the T-5R, although

the 850R features exclusive new 7-spoke, 17" Volan wheels, and has its

own unique range of exterior colours - Turquoise, Brilliant Red, Gun Metal

Grey and Black.

The greatest feature of the new 850R is not its paintwork, but its improved

performance.

The 2.3-litre 5-cylinder engine has been equipped with a

arger turbocharger, new

intercooler

and a more sophisticated fuel pressure

sensor (to obtain an even more precise air/fuel mixture), to increase power

by 10 bhp, to 250 bhp at 5400 rpm.

The 850R also benefits from extra 10 lb ft of torque; peak torque is 258 lb ft

(350 Nm), produced between 2400 rpm and 5000 rpm.

An advanced electronic engine management system and a new exhaust manifold,

ensure that although the 850R has a bigger turbocharger, it isn't plagued by the `turbo

lag' normally associated with large turbo units.

Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, and the 850R accelerates from

0-62mph in just 6.7 seconds.

This level of performance imposes heavy demands on both transmission and chassis,

so the 850R's improvements include all components subject to increased stresses.

TRACS (traction control system) and the addition of a viscous coupling on the manual

850R minimise wheelspin and improve roadholding while cornering.

The chassis settings have been re-tuned to improve comfort. The anti-roll bars are

more slender than on the T-5R to permit more lateral roll, which in turn allows for

stiffer damper settings.

High standard equipment levels on the 850R include

ABS,

side impact airbags,

electronic climate control, a trip computer, electric windows all round, a sophisticated

6-speaker CD stereo system and new sports seats.

The 850R is available in both saloon and estate versions, priced at £33,550.

VOLVO 850 RACING'S TOP DRIVER LINE-UP FOR 1996

TWR/Volvo 850 Racing's 1996 driver line-up, Rickard Rydell and

new recruit, 1993 F3 Champion, Kelvin Burt, have been setting

mpressive times during testing at Oulton Park, Brands Hatch

and Snetterton in preparation for the Team's 1996 Championship

challenge.

28-year old Swede, Rydell, now entering his third season, finished 3rd in

the Auto Trader RA(' Touring Car Championship in `95 and must be one

of the Championship favourites for 1996. He is joined by

young Tamworthian Kelvin Burt, who made his BTCC debut in 1994.

Burt's seemingly easy transition from Single-Seaters to Touring Cars

made him a valuable asset to Ford in 1995 and his win at Snetterton

and excellent performance at the World Cup at Paul Ricard last

October made him a desirable acquisition for TWR/Volvo 850 Racing.

TWR Race Director Roger Silman, "Kelvin is one of the top young

stars and we are delighted to have him on-board - I think the

combination of Rydell and Burt will give Volvo 850 Racing one of the

quickest driver line-ups in this year's Championship, as our recent

testing times have shown."

Volvo 850 Racing also welcomes new sponsorsEricsson Mobile Phones,

SKF

and Power Horse to the 1996 Auto Trader

RAG

Touring Car

Championship as part of the Team's on-going worldwide communications

and exploitation strategy.
