"Firm, stiff, and well-balanced in the chassis when set to Advanced mode. Comfort and Sport settings are not particularly soft either—this is a car built for driving enthusiasts."

"Firm, stiff, and well-balanced in the chassis when set to Advanced mode. Comfort and Sport settings are not particularly soft either—this is a car built for driving enthusiasts."

Description

It was manufactured early in the model cycle in 2002 and was reportedly used as a display or test vehicle for the factory. It was later sold to its first owner in Gustavsberg, east of Stockholm, who drove it for over 11 years, covering the majority of its total mileage of 228,450 km.

After the first owner, the car appears to have been treated as an enthusiast vehicle, used sparingly and carefully maintained. Since 2017, it has covered only 12,000 km. The most recent approved inspection was completed on March 4, 2025.

The V70R in Flash Green Metallic was the last R-model developed and specified by Volvo themselves. This particular example came fully loaded, featuring a 300-horsepower engine, an advanced Öhlins-developed Four-C chassis, and Brembo brakes.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine responds eagerly, and the manual gearbox is a great match for this type of car. The exhaust note is a bit more lively, as one of the mid-mufflers has been removed.

    On these special R-models, the power output is the same for both manual and automatic versions (300 hp), but torque is lower on automatic-equipped examples.

    The engine bay is clean and well-kept, with some oxidation on a few aluminum components.

  • Interior condition:

    Color Glo-treated leather interior in fresh condition, with surprisingly little to no entry wear on the driver’s seat. Features a glass sunroof and a well-preserved headliner.

    The climate control system blows cold and works efficiently.

    This rare model also came with a high-quality sound system as part of its specification, with the subwoofer neatly tucked under the cargo floor.

  • Exterior condition:

    Stylish and recently polished paintwork. The color is highly sought-after and iconic for this model, although a few more discreet shades were also available.

    Equipped with original 18" Pegasus R wheels, showing some minor paint peeling and small imperfections at the front.

    Fitted with older (2014) Pirelli P Zero tires, still with good tread depth.

  • General condition:

    A fine and well-maintained R-model example in an attractive, presentable condition for the R-scene.

    Most notably, it features the highly desirable combination of a manual gearbox, sunroof, the striking turquoise-green metallic paint, and the desert sand-colored leather interior—Atacama-inspired.

Owner's comment

Pre-production car, built in 2002 but designated as a 2004 model year. Finished in the launch colors Flash Green with Atacama leather interior and equipped with a manual transmission. Features include: Sunroof Navigation system Premium sound system with the original subwoofer under the cargo floor Öhlins 4C chassis Original 18" Pegasus wheels A rare R-model with a manual gearbox and, for many enthusiasts, the ideal color combination. Seats and steering wheel treated by Color Glo Rust-proofed Many replaced parts, including rear shock absorbers and front pipe with catalytic converter Recently serviced and freshly inspected

Facts about the model

The V70R in the distinctive Flash Green color was produced in a limited series. Volvo spared no expense on this model—it was the last true performance machine before Polestar took over that part of the brand’s legacy.

For Volvo R enthusiasts, this specific model is an especially desirable collector’s item.
