Fifth Gear: Alpina D3 Biturbo Touring Diesel vs. Volvo V60 Polestar


Darwin was right. If "survival of the fittest" ever applied to anything, it's sports cars. Since we started selling the Volvo 1800 here in 1962, a lot of sports cars have become extinct. Others have changed so drastically they're not the same animal.

Darwin was right. If 'survival of the fittest' ever applied to anything, it's sports cars. Since we started selling the Volvo 1800 here in 1962, a lot of sports cars have become extinct. Others have changed so drastically they're not the same animal. The 1800 has survived because we haven't gone in for here-today, gone-tomorrow gimmicks. Only a couple of things have changed. We've made the 1800 faster. And strengthened those parts of the car our new, bigger engines might strain. The first power boost came in 1964. With an engine that Sports Car Graphic called 'one of the most, if not the most reliable, rugged and unbreakable car engine being built today!' Two years later, we stepped up the power again. But not without putting power disc brakes on the front wheels. In 1969, we introduced a 118- hp engine. Beefed up the clutch and flywheel. And installed a dual-circuit brake system. (If one system fails, you still have full braking power on three wheels. That's so you'll never run out of brakes.) The next year, the 1800 reached the highest level of intelligence possible for a sports car. A fuel injection system, with an electronic brain, was installed. Which replaced the carburetors, and increased power 10%. The brakes kept pace. The 4-wheel power disc brakes designed to stop our 400 pound heavier 164 sedan now stop the 1800E (Electronic fuel injection). We also added the same 4-speed synchromesh transmission that handles our big six -cylinder engine. But even with these changes, not much has changed. The Volvo 1800E is basically the same strong car it was 10 years ago. Which is why it's rarely in the repair shop. Or in the hands of the species that's gotten fat off sports cars since their beginning. The grease monkey.

The Volvo 265. A station wagon that really moves.

The Volvo 265 station wagon was designed with the knowledge that in addition to carrying your possessions, a station wagon also carries you. And you shouldn't have to put up with a station wagon that's a bore to drive. So in addition to 75 cubic feet of cargo space in the back (rear seat folded), the Volvo 265 comes with 2.7 liters of fuel-injected V-6 engine up front. In high-speed passing, the Volvo 265—with its 4-speed transmission—surpasses a BMW 320i sports sedan. ' You also get power disc brakes on all four wheels. Hit them, and the Volvo 265 (even with maximum load) stops in about the same number of feet as a BMW 320i. The Volvo 265 comes with rack and pinion steering for precise, respon-sive handling. And an advanced sway-bar suspension system that keeps the wagon steady and level even when you're whipping through hairpin turns. A STATION WAGON THAT REALLY MOVES. Even parking the Volvo 265 is a pleasure. Despite the room inside, it's no bigger outside than a Volvo sedan. And when it comes to turning circle, it has the inside track on cars like BMW, Corvette and the Datsun 280Z. You can also take comfort from the fact that the Volvo 265 is perhaps the most comfortable station wagon on the road. Air conditioning is standard equipment. As are Volvo's famous orthopedically-designed bucket seats. You also get power-assisted steering, and your choice of automatic transmis-sion or 4-speed manual with overdrive ...all at no extra cost. So if you're looking for a luxuri-ous station wagon that performs like a sports sedan, come in and take a look at the Volvo 265. It's the kind of station wagon you'll appreciate. Even when the only thing it's moving from one place to another is you. The car for people who think.

Volvo cria motor 2.0 de quatro cilindros que desenvolve 450 CV de potência

Volvo Drive-E 2.0-Liter Four-Cylinder Engine Concept
A Volvo revelou um conceito de motor quatro cilindros com dois litros de cilindrada que desenvolve impressionantes 450 CV de potência. Chamado "Drive-E", o propulsor é equipado com dois turbocompressores impulsionados pelos gases do escapamento, mas que também recebem pressão de um outro turbocompressor, este elétrico.

O turbocompressor elétrico impulsiona os outros turbos enquanto o motor não possui força suficiente para fazê-los girar com os gases do escapamento. Desta maneira, elimina-se o turbo lag. A gasolina é injetada nos cilindros por duas bombas, que trabalham a uma pressão de 250 bar.

Under the hood it's a sports car. Introducing the Volvo FH with I-Shift Dual Clutch.
