What a weapon, imagine how it must feel in a Porsche/M3 being overtaken by an old red Volvo estate. Brilliant

[@april7_]

And to be overtaken by some Toyota finally 🤣

[@miazawa89]

Cheering hard on every Volvo I see here at the Ring ❤️

So "torquy" and the sound is awesome, i love it

[@mohis5664]

Being owner of a T-5R i absolutely love the torque of those things

Finally we get to see this amazing and wonderful 855R 😍 been waiting patiently 😇 I absolutely loved it! 😍 Really nice driving, beautiful car and excellent video 👍👏✌ It's so much fun watching cars and owners like this one and how much fun they have, it doesn't have to be the fastest car as you said Dale, its about having fun and fun you had ✌👏👍😍

[@emielbekhuis]

Thanks Björn! Nice complement👍🏻 On my face you can see the fun🙈😁😅

@@emielbekhuis Oyeah it shows :) Hopefully I will join you at a trackday soon with either my 855R or my S60R :D

[@emielbekhuis]

[@toached]

Proof is in the pudding. A spectacular example of the capabilities that an 855 has. This is why I own these cars!

[@it_is_just_a_volvo]

5-cilinder torque. Most of my highway pulls were against higher HP (+25 to 50HP) cars but with lower torque numbers. They were blown away of how well my Volvo kept ahead or how I just kept pulling next to them. The torque is amazing in these cars.

[@jasonshifley7248]

All my Volvo's have the same chip in the windshield that never seems to spread. Awesome video, driving and car!

[@JayShearerRealEstate]

Love the expression on Emiel's face as he casually and expertly whips this beast around the track in excess of 150mph as if its a Sunday drive with the wife and 2 kids and dogs! Well done Sir!!

[@emielbekhuis]

thank you 😁!!

[@hectorherbert6585]

perfect trajectories..so planted & clean..

[@stefthepef]

My gosh, YES. There's a local drifter here who got his start in a V8-swapped Volvo brick, too. That was what he was dropped off at school in! I love these cars.

[@viktorb9022]

Well 300hp are 300hp but 500nm kicking at low rev are the best feeling

[@JRT313]

Hands down one of my favourite videos on KZbin! Loved the fact you both just stayed silent and enjoyed the ride! Great video! I own a V70R have had it 3 years and kept it original! Have always thought about tweaking it though! But I’d rather do that to an 850r in my opinion I do prefer that shape it’s just more boxier if that’s a word haha!

[@BTGDale]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JRT313]

The Volvo community around the world is the best & always willing to offer suggestions, support, & a plan.. I enjoy Wrenching on my own Volvo & have learned so much & saved a pile of $! Hold that vision & more than likely You'll be hearing that 5 cylinder in the spring or sooner. Just excited for You to feel 850 satisfaction. All the Best! 🙏✨

There once was a BTCC Volvo 850, so there is no reason why this wouldn't have potential.

[@kitvexed8229]

just REELED that M3 right in... SEE YA!

[@martinlund9524]

Nice car! Great lap also. But the chassi tower strut bar is mounted wrong. Rotate the bar 180* and it can go much closer to the firewall. you can see the "dents" in the bar that is for get clear from the drain hoses.

[@appelsapman434]

Sharp eye.

[@emielbekhuis]

Thats right. Never know btw 😅 but I don't think to mount it the other way

[@brettgoldsworthy4297]

Driver is awesome , he would be fast in any car

[@emielbekhuis]

Thanks for the compliment!☺

[@petetandino9945]

Love these and owned a couple,.both modified. Can't help wondering how quick it would have been if he actually rev'd it out as it seemed like he was short shifting most of the lap

[@p.g.reitsma7245]

Fun to watch. Makes me want to swap a manual into my 99 V70R.

[@joppy232]

I own one in the same color! Very similar build too, but with a larger turbo

Prachtig Emiel!👍💪

Thinking about taking my volvo 940 turbo to the ring at somepoint in life, its mostly stock apart from some tiny engine modifications, but id atleast like to change out the brakes tyres and suspension before i have a go :D

Amazing that the dash is still mostly intact! Love the Volvo 5-cylinder. Still in disbelief that they retired it. I assume it was mostly due fuel economy regulations.

[@shaunfogarty5744]

The driver has really quiet hands and knows what his fwd monster is good at and does not ask too much of the front tires. I missed if there were torque numbers but it seems to be making 450+ ft lbs. With the tall gearing the HP is irrelevant.

The steering pump sometimes spits out some fluid. Mine does the same after some hard work at the ring lol.
