Cars / Volvo S70: The Traditional Volvo Box Type Vehicle
The Volvo S70 seems to be the remaining survivor of Volvo’s line up of traditional box types. This vehicle is from the go-fast T5 version. It has been the quickest and faster car that Volvo has been able to produce and craft for the automotive market. So what does the whole Volvo S70 T5 mean? If a person has had a quick background on the way Volvo christens its vehicles, he would be able to comprehend that the S stands for sedan. The number 70, meanwhile, is the midsize front wheel drive platform that is used in the Volvo S70’s crafting and manufacturing. As for the T5, well, that is the turbocharged engine with five cylinders. There also is the optional 2.3 liter DOHC engine, though, for this vehicle. And this engine has four valves per cylinder and is turbocharged and intercooled. It has the capacity and capability to produce some 240 units of horsepower at 5100 rpm.
