[@perfectedpursuit]

Thank you so much Misha for the lap! I did intend for the lap to be more of a ''What should i do next on the car'' and as it never overheated when i drove it on track, i did not think it would do it with Misha driving, boy was i wrong. (Also it was around 30 degrees) 2 Oilcoolers have been bought and im currently installing those! LSD is the purschase list. Sorry for screaming like a bi*ch.....

[@hauke4651]

Hot temps+ Turbo + track is the hardest punishment for the whole car …at least she’s a hot beauty 🤭👍🏻

[@it_is_just_a_volvo]

Even with upgraded intercooler and radiator they get hot. I have my AC condensor still upfront and that obviously blocks air flow/cooling. Next is an oil cooler. In the end we are racing Volvo luxury cruisers here. 😅😋

[@JakubWojtkowiak]

Hey man, great car. I own C30 T5. I think we have the same seats, which are horrible for any kind of faster driving - have you done anything to yours? can't see on video if these are standard leather seats or is it re-stiched or something?

[@DtotheAtotheNtotheI]

Hi there, with all due respect, may I ask how you came to ask misha to drive your car after watching the videos but still were suprised, that he drives fast?

As a V40 T4 owner and driver, I am very very very very happy to see this

[@JessHull]

they are really awesome cars! I've always wanted one. I think they look really sweet and have a nice engine to boot.

[@XD-jz7lq]

bro this car understeers so bad its fucking garbage, just look at the video. i like volvos for the safety and the looks tho

[@FionaZombie]

@@XD-jz7lq that is a car driven to it's limits by a racing driver. Tell me. Have you ever driven a V40 yourself? If not, then I don't care about what you're saying, since.. well you're going off a video. Besides, I just said that shis video makes me happy because I drive a V40, never that it's "such a good car daaaamn"..

[@JessHull]

​@@FionaZombie Also a lot of the understeering has a lot to do with how the car is set up. Its an estate/wagon for crying out loud, thats FWD with a stock open diff. Of course its going to tend towards understeer, its set up like that from the factory because understeer is safer for an everyday driver family focused wagon. With the proper setup it could be more neutral. I think its inappropriate to judge the car without context and consideration as to what the starting point is on this car. For what it is, it did great. Aside from the over heating issue which is likely do to age, needed maintenance and pushing a bit more power than stock.

[@FionaZombie]

@@JessHull as someone who drives a V40 T4 stock, that car is very very capable in day to day life. Comfy, quick, stylish. And cheap as well

[@vikingfromthenorth7]

Awesome finally a v40! love my 1.8 v40 it corners so good 🇸🇪❤️‍🔥

[@jarnonjajukkapekanelamaa7637]

Just wanted to tell you that as a nordic rally driver, I really admire your pedal work. Too many people don't know their way around a manual car, especially with a front-wheel-drive (FWD) car.

[@Randomdudepklr]

I love the overheating videos! It's good to see what different cars can take, also it makes me consider cooling more with my own cars. These videos always make me think. The faster videos make me really "zone in"

[@leov5820]

YES! I Got an S40 2.0 nonturbo as my first car! Miss Bertha so much, I had so much fun driving that car! So cool to see Misha driving an V40 T4!

[@josevarela1992]

Really nice lap, for me a nice v40 can be as entertaining as a m3Comp or even more. Nice vibes as well in the car that helps!

[@vladimirchervenkov6949]

That’s my car! I have a 2004 Volvo V40 and it is my first car. Thank you for bringing us this video! So happy to see it on the ring

[@nikodaq]

I think this is one of my most favorite laps misha has ever done, its sad that the car was overheating because i see lots of potential with this v40. But the way he was just pushing that v40 to its limits and whipping those corners to it max G's makes me so satisfied. And the fact that it looked a lot faster when he was going 200kmh in a volvo v40 than in a porsche 911 gt3 rs 250kmh. Just wow, i love this MIsha. Keep it up!

[@Digtoride]

Daaamn Misha, you were killing it, awesome how it drives even with non so sticky tires🔥🤘🏼 pretty fast to 👌🏼

i'd love to have you drive my 1.8L TDDI ford focus on the nurb just to see what you can make of it, a regular grocery getter with 90hp, it's sure fun in the corners! i loved the video misha, sad that the car got hot, i love the volvo's

[@triplex0076]

I love watching Misha drive, he is such a fun guy. 😍

[@lukemallory7832]

I used to own a '99 S40 2.0 and that thing really did handle well, aside from bumps. Used to take it up around the mountains and, because it was so small and narrow, it could hang with anything in the corners.

[@hectorherbert6585]

One very famous American builder & tuner (Chip Foose) was explaining to guys around him also building & swapping their own car project and he said 'no matter what your project is...but if you want performance & reliability ,your main focus has to be cooling & controlling heat in that bay..(especially turbo motors)....

[@tony66au]

I daily drove an MY00 V40T auto and the handling and balance was very nice, those Whiteblock engines are a modular design and came in 4, 5 and 6 cyl versions as the owner mentioned they added or removed a cylinder depending on the need, Dutch built (Nedcar) based on the Mitsi Carisma with many Mitsi parts which I also used when I freshened up the chassis and even the low blow turbo was a fun thing especially on the hills around here when youd put her to work.

A S60 T5 2002, i would love too see him drive!

[@BarbecuedPossum]

I have one of these as a spare track car 😂Got to be careful with ride height/tyre size as in Volvos infinite wisdom they ran the whole wiring loom through the right wheel arch with 0 protection on it. Managed to rub through the whole lot, shorted a load of stuff including the starter/modules/abs unit so has been a big rebuild to even get it running again but still have a lot of problems. Might enter it into some entry level wheel to wheel series just for some banter

[@ericgrensner4479]

Hello a fellow swede here, nice lap! Hope for some better cooling and lsd + stickier tires next time😎 A funny story (legend I suppose you would call it) Volvo did launch the 850 t5 before the s40 t4. When it was time for the s40 t4’s reveal the test car that Volvo had was actually quicker to 0-100 km/h. And that Volvo could not release onto the market! So what did they do? They’ve shorted the gear ratio of second gear so you’ve had to change to third gear to achieve 100 km/h instead of second. Which made the car 0.2 seconds slower than the 850 t5.

[@leonmusk1040]

A lot of that happened in the 80's 90's all the gentlemen's agreements lol

[@timofthomas]

People forget that Volvo had a racing heritage going back to the '50s - there are still classic racing series where people race the Amazons, the 240, 340 (not the Renault engined ones, the Volvo red block ones, same block as the 740 had, to which the big turbos were fitted which gives some options as those were bullet proof) and so on - It was only when bikers and other called them tanks that people assumed that they were heavy and unwieldy - in the hands of good drivers they can be very lively, but, they are predictable, which is good in accidents or on the limit.

[@privateparty4900]

In a track setting, 140-148c is pretty normal. This would be in the range where conventional oils will breakdown but synthetics are good for 230c +. it's the aeration and oil control that will get you, the oil temps were fine.
