The T5 version is something else. With 240 HP, if I remember correctly.

.. you could boost it up to over 300 hp easily ... i remember being kicked arse by a T5, i was driving my friends Passat VR6 direction Knokke-Le-Zoute ... in order to stay on track with that Volvo i had to work hard ... until ... my brakes caught fire ...... 

You see, we can have pleasure and drive a Volvo! :)

That was a cool Volvo!

I like that brick design...
