The Volvo S60R is a performance-oriented variant of the Volvo S60, produced between 2004 and 2007. It was part of Volvo’s effort to blend luxury, safety, and high-performance in one car, with engineering from Volvo’s “R” division, which specialized in creating sportier versions of their lineup. Here are some key highlights of the S60R:
Engine & Power: 2.5L turbocharged inline-five with 300 horsepower. It had either a 6-speed manual or automatic, hitting 0-60 mph in about 5 seconds.
AWD System: Haldex all-wheel drive, improving traction and handling.
Adaptive Suspension: Features Volvo’s Four-C system with three modes (Comfort, Sport, Advanced) to adapt handling.
Design: Sporty but understated with unique bumpers, larger wheels, and a minimalist, high-quality interior.
Legacy: A collectible performance sedan with a cult following, especially sought-after in manual transmission.
