I thought all Volvos were 4 pot dag dags these days. Evidently not. What's that got? A turbo 5?

Well they are the standard 20" Rims. With it having 6 pot 371mm brembos on the front You cant really use anything smaller.

Yeah I did have it mapped its doing 385hp Not as high as I hoped but apparently its quite a low reading dyno. But torque went up to 420lb/ft from 2850rpm right through to 4400rpm. So pulls like a train :-)

Fair enough. Just looks odd.

I thought that the gap in the arches looked a little odd. I do like that car though.

Cool car! Needs hitting with the lowering stick though; or would this negate the 4wd aspect? I think to get that arch gap down, and getting that rim size a little more balanced

Probably a great car, but the wheels/tyre/gap combo just doesn't look right to me.

A bit bling for my liking, not very 'Volvo'
