While the Dutch Jan Modaal dreams of a Golf GTI or Astra GSi in the mid-nineties, the Volvo 850 T-5R and Saab 9000 Aero are fighting in Sweden for the favours of his Swedish colleague ‘Medelsvensson’. (middle class). The 850 is a mid-range car from Volvo. The 850 was made as a sedan (type 854) and station wagon (type 855). The car was produced between 1991 and 1997 and is still popular thanks to its timeless design and durability. There are still many Volvo 850s on the road, many with astronomical mileage. Some have already passed 750,000 km. To promote the car and emphasize its sporting character, Volvo has also prepared several 850s for the British Touring Car Championship. Much of the technology of this racing car can be found in the fastest model, the Volvo 850 T-5R. Volvo has invested a lot of money in the design, making the Volvo 850 (and its successors) one of the most developed cars in its class. The Volvo 850 was a discreet car even in its fastest version and was therefore popular with the KLPD. The Volvo 850 is also known for the special rumbling sound of the five-cylinder petrol engine, which has earned it the nickname Roffel among enthusiasts. The five-cylinder comes from the T-5, but adjusted engine management and increased turbo pressure resulted in 15 hp and 30 Nm more. That means 240 hp and 330 Nm, but that increase in power is only available during a thirty-second overboost. The Volvo 850 is one of the most beloved Volvos of all time. Practical, square, rock-solid and, if desired, with a wonderful five-cylinder on board. The modified bumper, side skirts and spoiler of the T-5R were not only chosen from an aesthetic point of view. In addition to the unique paint, the Volvo 850 T-5R also has a larger lower lip, side sill extensions, a rear spoiler and the characteristic five-spoke 17-inch Titan wheels. Our Cream Yellow Volvo 850 T-5R with automatic transmission and good for 240 HP has just arrived to us in a revised condition. The bodywork has also been completely repainted for cosmetic reasons. In terms of equipment, you will not lack anything given the rich equipment, including electrically adjustable black leather Alcantara-covered seats with memory, which are also heated. Electrically operated windows all around, mirrors that can be electrically operated and heated, air conditioning is also on board and cruise control is available. We also see the original Volvo radio/cassette in the wood-look dashboard and to complete the party we see a sliding and tilting roof. You are a car enthusiast and end up in a Volvo 850 T-5R. From that moment on, only one thing matters, chasing your dream: this is possible by owning one of the most iconic Volvos ever, the 850 T-5R!
