"This car played a major role in the introduction of Volvo's fast estate car. A milestone in Volvo's history!"

Description

This copy is one of the very first of Volvo's revolutionary 855 T-5R. Volvo's marketing department used it to market the new stronger and tougher version of the Volvo 855. Its basis was for Volvo's successful participation in the BTCC racing series. It appears on several press images and in newspaper reports. It’s quite like the production car buy not everything was ready when it was built. Volvo then did the same trick when the Volvo 855 R (T-Red) was presented. They used the same car but repainted it to red and made smaller modifications adapted for the new model. Later in private hands, it has been repainted into the gray color of the pictures.
According to Volvo, the Volvo 850/855 T-5R was to be built in a maximum of 2,500 copies to order. 300 copies were intended for the Swedish market. For the extra SEK 100,000 paid, the buyer got a car in a Volvo unique color, special 17 inch alloy wheels, special front spoiler and wing of the trunk in addition to the mechanical/electronic upgrade of the machine. Stiffer suspension and lowered chassis also did their part to make the car both be and look faster.
The 0-100 km/h hour was managed in 6.9 seconds and the top speed was declared to be 245 km/h.

Facts about the model

Volvo 850/855 T-5R skulle enligt Volvo byggas i max 2 500 exemplar på beställning. 300 exemplar var avsedda för den svenska marknaden. Den kostade ny 380 000 kr. För de extra 100 000 kr som man betalade fick köparen en bil i en för Volvo unik kulör, speciella 17 tums alufälgar, speciell frontspoiler samt vinge på bakluckan förutom den mekaniska/elektroniska uppgraderingen av maskinen. Styvare fjädring och sänkt chassie gjorde också sitt till för att få bilen att både vara och se snabbare ut.
0-100 km/h timmen klarades av på 6,9 sekunder och toppfarten angavs vara 245 km/h.
