Saw my first Volvo XC90 V8 out on the streets today Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Thu, 7 Apr 2005 15:16:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Kind of a big deal for me since it's Volvos first V8 in a car; well, SUV and the engine is a Yamaha and Volvo is owned by Ford but you get the picture ;o)
Rumor has it that the PRV V6 engine back in the 70s were suppose to be a V8 but the energy crisis happened and they cut 2 cylinders off and made it an odd firing V6 instead of a smooth running V8.
That would have been something for the De Lorean (that also used that engine) if it would have been a V8 instead of the lame V6.
