I remember when this came out and saw those rear lights for the first time - function guiding form and it’s brilliant!

As an 850R owner, you absolutely smashed it! Well impressed 👍

i just bought a 850R project in the red!

Ah, yes. My favorit driveable fridge. My friend owns one in white ( hence why we dubbed it " refrigerator", as its form always reminded us to it) which he found in a backyard with a plum tree growing out of its engine bay. We restored it and tuned it up to around 330hp of power and left it to look stock. Its a breeze to drive this car and the acceleration is brutal. No one expects it and i love to screw with cocky Audi RS-whatever drivers as they always get surprised and salty by the end. The durability of this car is another great point as it is nearly indestructible. My friend ( the owner ) 2 other friends and me climbed on the rear bumper and started to wiggle and jump on it without it deforming even a little bit, it even survived a car crash where a miata climbed on top of the engine bay with only the left headlight having a crack in it and having a scratch mark on top of the bonnet. Its always nice to see them on the road as they are really rare around here where i live.

Fridge? More like a turbo brick..

This brand will never get old. They are the best manufacturers of family tanks ever

My dad has had 3 sedan 850 R’s and a 04 V70R which he has had for over 10 years now. I just love the sound of the 5 cylinder engine

The T5 is a great sounding motor, I own an s40 and get to experience that beautiful sound everyday

the more I look at these sketches the more I realize just how good of a job Volvo did on designing their vehicles they really are truly Timeless I'm really glad I still have my 81 240 can't wait to buy a few more of the other model that I really like

My parents had an 850r sedan. It's grown on me a lot over time.

I had the Volvo 850 sedan, Automatic Transmission, Gold in colour... I loved this car. It drives beautifully and smooth. Very well built, comfortable and luxurious...

In high school, an upperclassman had a cream yellow 850 t5-r with the pegasus wheels and lowering springs. That 5 cylinder sound has always been music to my ears.

now it looks like a hearse

just bought an 850 wagon. 23 years old and runs like its brand new. It was never really on my radar before I bought it but this car has one me over. If Volvo made a wagon that looks like the one in this video I'm afraid ill just have to do without a lung and a kidney.

Literally sitting in my 98 V70R, warming it up after work, ready to drove home while watching this.

It is rare for me to watch an entire video but you got me hooked up! Great job! Volvo for life ⚡

First time I've been early to a video and it's on my beloved Volvo!

Not having choices of manual transmission wagons is among my biggest complaints about living in the USA. I used to live the dream with VW's TDI Sportwagen, but we all know how that turned out.

I totally loved the 850R when it was out...my first boss had one in dark grey....it looked and drove fantasically

This redesign gave me an idea for a series you could host, @TheSketchMonkey: "Unexpected Hearse" in which you'd make the least expected transformations of the worst-fitting cars.

I wanted a 1995 T5R Wagon in yellow so bad, but finding one of the 49 was challenging in 1999 when I was looking. I did find a T5R sedan in black, that was at one point a fleet vehicle for Volvo USA. I loved that car. I added a boost controller and increased the turbo pressure to 17psi. There was not a tire that could handle the power. It was a sad day when I sold that car. Nice video.

My first car was a '97 850 estate, auto, n/a, silver, but still became one of my favourite cars to look at and loads of fun to drive. Sadly he had to be recycled for $300 when the fluid leaks got too expensive. I miss my Hearse so much, RIP

Just awesome ;D Keep it up bro!

My dad recently bought a cream yellow 850 T5-R and it looks amazing. Great job on this re-design!

I was almost born in a 850 R Cream Yellow, it was the car my dad had when I was born. Later he brought a V70n with a boring 2.4T engine. :)

The green house design and the rear tall tail lights were something I've always loved about this model the wagon specifically.

I own a volvo 850 t5 r. And it feels amazing that you made a modern version of it.

Polestar 1 is not all electric, but rather a twincharged hybrid.

This bringes up sweet memories. Not about the 850 but about the colour. The only Volvo we have had in my family was cream yellow Volvo Amazon 121 automatic from 1966. The story behind how we got her and why she had an automatic gearbox as the only car in our neighborhood. Goes something like this. My grand father’s brother had emigrated to the USA in the beginning of the 20’th century. In the early 1960’ies he had gone on pension and had come to the not surprising conclusion that he would be better of back home in Denmark. With free healthcare in Denmark it was probably an easy decision. So he sold house mid century Ford Lincoln and whatever stuff he had and went back. In Denmark there was hardly any American cars so my father who obviously new about European cars was told to purchase a car for him, the only condition was a budget and that it was an automatic transmission car, because he had not driven with a stick the last 20 years. So my father purchased this lovely automatic Amazon. One year later Volvo introduced the 140 model, which the old man decided he couldn’t live without because it had a new fancy feature something he called power breaks. What we in Europe cal servo assisted brakes. Long story short, he got the 140 and my mother and father purchased the Amazon where I spent a lo of happy time of my childhood. Great memories. For now I will spare you all the story of how the old man ended up completely demolishing the Volvo, happily without hurting anyone. For now let’s just say he should have applied the power brakes more vigorously Good redesign of the 850, by the way!!

Yessssssssss!! Best video yet!

I love Volvos, I love Sweden.

My god you are sooo damn good with this.

It’s a testament to the original design that in the end very little changed, slight modernising touches but even the wheels were the originals. Look at the second generation v60 and I definitely feel that it hasn’t aged as well.

One of my all time favourite cars. Lovely re-design BTW

My dad to this day has a 2.5 t5 non turbo and that has that distinctive sound, its in near perfect condition even though has 180k on the clock. Awesome machine, it will be mine one day and cant wait ha ha

This is one of my favourite redesigns, love your content. If possible, could you please have a redesign video of the front as well. Thanks again, keep up the great work.

I got my 95 white saloon , manual T5R with blue leather interior in 2000 and was my daily for 8 years , I loved that car so much and my beautiful girlfriend sara had a matching one in blue, sadly she died in hers drifting it at 120mph ..rip baby girl, so I have massive respect for these cars because I didn't think anything would be able slay that woman 😘

I mean the 2020 s60, I like. BUT the rear.... I am not a fan of that! and yeah the s60 really is a timeless design for sure! Have it myself as well

we have had a few volvo wagons.. my wife currently drives the v60R design polestar beauty the seats are amazing

I love the boxy Volvo generation, this looks great. It would work well now and go against the grain of current trends and really stand out.

Beautiful cars.Love your redesign.I’d drive it👍

so smooth the best redesign

Nice to see this one. Cuz I own 244 and 850. I’ve waited for re-design of some Volvo like 244, 240, 740, 850 etc.

I love the golden V70 R from the 1998-2000s, which was based on this 850 R model!

I love this car so much! Want to get a Volvo wagon so bad!

I like your new concept of Volvo 850

Love ur vids

Brilliant 👏 I have a first gen C70 so I love Volvo and the sound of the T5

you can not mess with perfection

I LOVE sport wagons. You did a phenomenal job on this one. I would love to see the front.

The distinct sound of the 5-cylinder engines can also be heard in some early Audi models as well. They were the first to utilize a 5-cylinder engine. It sounds much like a V10, but with a deeper note. Same applies to the 5-cylinder diesels. Their sound is simply magical. Volvo adopted the Audi 5-cylinder 2.5 liter turbodiesel in some late 850's and the early V70's. Beforehand, the diesel engines used by Volvo was derived from the VW LT van. It was a 6-cylinder 2.4 liter that came in 3 different variants.

Just to clarify. The T5-R is the pale yellow 850 with 240 horsepower, it also game as black. There was also a Green Bathgate made for certain markets. The 850R has 250hp, and is red or black. It came approx one year after the T5-R. It had different rims, and interior compared to the T5-R. Also some other changes, like different trunk lid spoiler on the sedan.

Awesome vid! I have a daily driver N/A Sedan w/ 5 speed. Recently bought 850 turbo for parts. Hopefully going to buy 850R wagon today!

This looks like if cadillac decided to make a station wagon in 2021

Okay, you need to send that sketch to Volvo and they need to remake that wagon, that is sweet.

Very nice!

Always has been and always will be one of the iconic Station Wagons in history. It's right up there with the Ford Country Squire Wagon from the 60's. I love SUV'S but I miss Station Wagons. And with today's tech, they should be extremely popular.

I hope you can put some Polestar design element for the next video of the front part of the 850R redesign

Thanks for doing this car

Great work! One thing I'd like to see in your re-designs is a wider wheel arches. I think it would help cars to look even more modern or at least give them more presence if you know what I mean.

Great redesign. Would be cool if you at some point could do the Volvo 360 Spirit, my first car

Your design rocks!!!!! One thousand percent better than original.👍👍

Man I wish car companies would do this like bring back classic cars with a slight tweak or even the exact same body but mo'powa baby!

Ah, I see you are the man of culture as well

Great redesign 😲

They definitely need to bring back the more practical classic boxy & rectangular shape.

Volvo needs to hire you ASAP, greetings from sweden

Cool car really like it

AMAZINGNES!!!

I saw a yellow one in Sweden 2-3 years ago. The owner told its history to me

While Volvo makes the safest cars in the world, they make really cool cars like the 740, 850R, S60R/V70R, C30, and Polestar

What is your opinion on the fd rx7?

Got one myself. Love my Volvo

side looks really naked rims are too big it reminds me a lot of a tuner for some reason but i still like iti just feel the side looks off maybe it's the quality of the image and the paint it looks cartoon rather than realistic

I love my 04 S60R . I hope to get an 850 R someday

Lamborghini is the best way to explain the sound of these engines

What is going on with the backhatch? Was waiting the i time video for; when is he going to finish it?

This design is nice. Very simple but the details make it come to life. Hotwheels has made a model of this wagon and it looks good.

When you're so early there are no dislikes and only 3 comments so 4th I know, I'm immature Also great videos Sketch!! Volvos were always my favourite

Long time viewer, really enjoy binging your videos. How do feel about a gradualy slopping the roof line towards the rear hatch. In my opinion it would modernize and update the design. It is always challenging to keep iconic models recegnizable and current. I look forward to the next one. How about a Datson 510 or an early Skyline.

Great job, you just put a moustache on the Mona Lisa

The perfect wagon 😍

how could you not love an 850R?

Love the 850R sedan. I'd have it in red thank you very much.

where's the link for that sketching video for the 850R

they could bring this car back in the shape of a literal brick and i would still love it

Very good Re-Design. I like it. And the Original was a perfect Design!

What spoiler us that at 0:22 seconds ?

The final version of Volvo was very nice.

I will love to see a gmc 2016 canyon done by you.

Redesign the volvo p1800 as if it was done today, would really love to watch that. My dad owns a white one from 1966 with red interior, and it's such a beautiful car.
