holy shit

mfanatic325 · 11-09-2011, 11:43 PM

Damn, too bad that Volvo doesn't look anywhere as nice as the 458 Italia

But crap is it fast

Thats annoying as hell when that stupid energy drink ad is in the way of the engine shot.

MediaArtist · 11-10-2011, 12:27 AM

I expected that. When you see a drag race where a POS lines up next to an exotic you know there is a really mean build that went into that POS.

Beedub · 11-10-2011, 05:11 AM

beautiful build, honestly?? probably cost more than the 458 in the end!! did anyone notice the koneggsegg (lol @ spelling) brakes??

I think it's better looking than the 458.

as a serial modder i find that volve a work of art, look @ the t5 motor, its freakin awesome!!! The bespoke interior is just baller, love the digital dash readout as well, car is full on sick!!

dont get me wrong, 458 is awesome but.... honestly im just as awe inspired by the volvo, some serious work and time gone into that bad boi :-)

Robert · 11-14-2011, 04:17 PM

Anyone else noticed the muffler is inside the car? Man that car must run hot and I didn't see any AC unit

immiketoo · 11-14-2011, 11:41 PM

I'd rather have the Volvo. Truth.

Volvo I6 24V, with big turbo, probably came out of a 960. Apparently it has 600 hp and was built as a SEMA show car.

Are you talking about the silver tank in the back, I think that's the fuel tank, besides it's Sweden, it doesn't get hot in Sweden very often.
