Hey guys,
Just an FYI, I have been given warning of the release of the S60R information and pics. I assume it'll be joined by info on the V70R as well. On July 4th or therabouts, they'll be releasing the info with an actual show release not too far following (probably around Sept).

OMG! Say it ain't so! Will the Volvo gods bless us with an early surprise?

I wonder how close it is going to look to this prototype?

Holy cow.....in about another two weeks, eh? Now, that'll be something to talk about once more info is released.

Yeah...I need to get back in this post ho mode again. It's been a couple of weeks since Da Mista Post Ho spoke.

But when is it comming out? I think I might jump off the deep end and buy one.

I wouldn't expect to see them in dealers until Calendar Year 2003.

Good that will give me time to save up for one.

Well, this rat bastard has seen it. For production purposes, we just got the photos and the car looks sweet. I can't say much about it, as it is embargoed, but I don't think you guys are going to be disappointed at all.

Yes, all details will be available next week. July 4 CET. So do the math and you might see it sooner if you get what I am sayin.

So how do the BIG grey Brembo callipers with R logo look on the picture?
Can your clearly see the two blue colors of the tacho background on the pictures?
How many R logo's do you count in the interior and the dash?
Double left/right or double left exhaust?
Are there any closeups of the 17" wheels or did they fit the 18" for marketing and looks?

Come on! leak something!

Two V70R's were spotted on a Belgian circuit a week ago, two different versions and Mr. Rydell could barely keep up with them in his ETCC S60! (According a post on the V850C forum...)

There aren't great closeups of the wheels, but I'll check again on the brakes. There's a side shot, but the lighting is pretty bright on the wheels so tough to see big detail.

One of the coolest features in the pics is the gauge cluster. VERY cool and not the same old same old we've seen before in other makes.

I'd describe the wheels as titanic. Read into that as you will.

Hmmm, hope they didn't copy my S60 that much

Thanks for the reply!

Wow, that statement sort of makes me wonder. Does that mean they are electroluminescent or digital, or most likely look like the guages that are from the ACC2 concept or maybe SCC concept. Or maybe something along the lines of an F1 type setup...

Drive by Haaksbergen on your way home!
It's only a couple of thousand miles detour!

I will say one other thing. This car is subtlely upgraded from the exterior. It's much more like an S4/A4 relationship than a new M3/ 330.

Hmm..not sure if that's a good thing, but I definitely would like it better w/o that silly silver color egg crate grill behind the air dams. And silver side skirts should be something for a Civic type R package.

Okay okay! (Okai

)
Here's a picture......

 

[S.R.]

Johann,

Man, your car is just too bad-ass! Everytime I see pictures of it, it has different wheels on it! Those Capella 18's look mean...
