I absolutely love my 2011 Volvo S60 T6 AWD. Funny thing is that down here in Oklahoma it flooded a few days ago and I had to drive home through some serious flowing water that was a few inches deep. Luckily my bad boy pressed through it and I was very impressed by its capability. Volvo for life!
4:31 I find it hilarious the way this professional driver rocks himself forward and backward in an attempt to help the car along.. then leans his body forward to decrease drag 🤣 I've caught myself doing this in drag races before. Priceless!
In the rain 4wd is superior to RWD regardless of power In other news, water is wet 😕

Those in the know have always taken Volvo seriously when it comes to fast cars. The 2.5 turbo in the Focus ST and RS came from the Volvo V70 range (the XC70 being the best of those with awd and that 2.5 turbo engine). And let's not forget the epic 850R 👌🏻

I love Volvo. My dad had a 1965 442 when I was a child. That car was far beyond stock. You could still see the shifter knuckle on the steering column. Any way, the car got smashed. And the next thing my dad parked in the yard was an 81 Volvo 240. I couldn't understand how my dad went from such a beast to what I thought was last rabbit. He worked on that Coco and the next 4 Volvo's till I had such a respect gained for them. That the thought of muscle cars was just sigh. Great cars.
Good fun! Fredrik , not Frederik.

@Perry_dAccard

It's a real racing gearbox. You only need the clutch to get going and to stop. The gears are engaged pneumatically and to shift, load is taken away by cutting out the ignition for a split second. None of that overweight dual clutch nonsense going on here.

Wish all adds where as I resting s this!
Power vs skill is not a blanket statement. You cant take a bad driver with a 1000 hp car with full traction and get beat by a good driver in a 500 hp car.
Takes a certain gumption to go out after just spinning and hammer down.
I would like to see fred on his car and etc runs
That is my fkn Dad hahah, send me s msg if u dont belivie me
Nice add
In these conditions the racecar would have been significantly harder to drive than the roadcar.
You could put Fred in the base model 2.0 and he'd still best most people in the polestar.
There's NO COUSIN at all, between those two cars the similarities stops at headlights and badge on the front 😂. Not even engine position isn't the same, not suspension design, not transmission, not shell, not absolutely NOTHING except rear and headlights😂😂
