Volvo Winter Testing Part 3 - tested in the S80

Riksgränsen, Sweden. For 2009, Volvo will introduce a new high-performance engine codenamed "T6". This inline 6-cylinder turbocharged powerplant will be available with the XC70 wagon. In Europe, it currently powers the new S80 sedan, which we put to the test over the last few days. The 3.0L T6 benefits from a turbocharger which adds 46 horsepower to the base engine's output. Torque is rated at 295 lb-ft at only 1,500 rpm for improved takeoffs. The resulting accelerations remain very linear and make for smooth driving dynamics.
