I was recently at Orange County Volvo and I was told about the S60 R that is due to come out in mid summer. Does any one know specifics on the car yet? From what I was told it would be AWD, and have 303hp.<P>~Spencer~

I talked to a pretty solid source today, he told me that it could come out as early as November, with the V70R coming out in February of 2003.<BR>And yeah, AWD, big turbo, 300+hp and 400nm of torque min.<BR>Look for performance figures in the mid-low 5's and quartermile in the low 14's.<P>CANNOT WAIT, It'll be intense.<P>

The S60R will be the next "big thing" happening, followed by the introduction of the V70R which will be followed by the introduction of the new S40 and V50.<P>Exciting things are going to happen! Now, if only Volvo's Marketing "gurus" would get a kick in the butt and finally get it, it would be nice!<P>Yannis<P><P>

The S60R and V70R are being introduced at the same time.<BR>Probably around October in Paris.<BR>Delivery starts early next year.<BR>Volvo Netherlands said W10 2003 for dealer cars and W15 2003 delivery of ordered models.<P>

I've also heard that Volvo is trying very hard to make the Active Suspension from the PCC cars a reality in production cars. That could make the whole R package VERY interesting if they can pull it off.
