While the patriotic Jan Modaal was dreaming of a Golf GTI or Astra GSi in the mid-1990s, the Volvo 850 T-5R and Saab 9000 Aero were vying for the favors of its fellow Swedish 'Medelsvensson' (middle class).The 850 is a mid-class Volvo car. The 850 was made as a sedan (type 854) and station wagon (type 855). The car was produced between 1991 and 1997 and is still popular thanks to its timeless design and durability. There are still many Volvo 850s on the road, many with astronomical mileage. Some are already past 750,000 km.To promote the car and emphasize its sporty character, Volvo also prepared some 850s for the British Touring Car Championship. Much technology from this race car can be found in the fastest model, the Volvo 850 T-5R. Volvo put a lot of money into the design, making the Volvo 850 (and its successors) one of the most well-developed cars in its class.The Volvo 850, even in its fastest version, was a discreet car and was therefore popular with the KLPD. The Volvo 850 is also known for the special rumbling sound of its five-cylinder gasoline engine, which earned it the nickname Roffel among enthusiasts. The five-cylinder comes from the T-5, but a modified engine management and increased turbo pressure brought out 15 hp and 30 Nm more. That means 240 hp and 330 Nm, but that power increase is there only during a thirty-second overboost.The Volvo 850 is one of the most beloved Volvo’s of all time. Practical, square, rock solid and, if desired, with a delicious five-cylinder on board. So the T-5R's custom bumper, sideskirts and spoiler were not chosen solely for aesthetic reasons. In addition to the unique paint, the Volvo 850 T-5R also features a heftier lower lip, sill extensions, a rear spoiler and the characteristic five-spoke 17-inch Titan wheels. Our Cream Yellow Volvo 850 T-5R with automatic transmission and good for 240 HP has just come to us in a reconditioned state. Also, the body has already been completely repainted once for cosmetic reason. In terms of equipment you will also lack nothing given the rich equipment including electrically adjustable black leather with alcantara upholstered seats with memory which are also heated. Power windows all around, electrically operated and heated mirrors, air conditioning and cruise control are also on board. We also see the original Volvo radio / cassette in the with wood-look finished dashboard and to make the party complete we see a sliding tilt roof.You are a car enthusiast and end up in a Volvo 850 T-5R from that moment only ééone thing counts, chase your dream: this can be done with the possession of ééone of the most iconic Volvo’s ever the 850 T-5R!
