The 2 Volvo's

[Hypoxiaicon]

Has any driven the 240 and S60 Yet?

What are they like when they are fully tuned etc?

Just would to know as Im a huge Volvo fan and Volvo's do not appear in many Games at all. (XC90 Was in Project Gotham Racing 2)

I've got a mostly-upgraded S60.. it drives quite well. I haven't found a great use for it yet, but it's a pretty strong FF car. I bought a 240 GLT and it drives, well, about like a 240. I'm a volvo nut myself, and would really like to find out if anyone has confirmed if the 850R or S/V70 T5R are really in the game.. I own a '98 S70 T5M, and would love to see it in GT4.

untuned the 240 is a DOG.

I would love to see the BTCC 850 at some point in this game.

I have a '98 S70 T5(auto)... great car!

I was dissapointed to see the s60 but no s60r? What's with that logic?

Maybe it's hidden somewhere?

 

[phizzy]

Yeah.. I love my S70 T5.. I've done a few tweaks to it, but can't wait to get a chip & exhaust on it. Great car. Took me forever to find the manual tho.

Has anyone confirmed the rumors that the P1800 Amazon is in the game?

 

[cubits]

p1800 amazon? I thought the Amazon was a rename for the 144, but it was called the 144 outside of sweden due to someone else owning the name (ford?).

The p1800 is really sexy, made for photomode. Such a disappointment it isn't in when there are so many cars like the black box kicking around.

I put the full kit on the 240 GLT wagon, even NOS! Unfortunately even with stage 2 turbo charger it maxes at 275 hp. Good fun when you crank the suspension down and drive it at Citti di Aria!! Haven't purchased the S60 yet.

 

[turbobrick]

.. anyone know why the 850 T5R is listed in the instruction manual but doesn't seem to exist on any carlists online ?

That kind of stuff is such a huge part of the game for me. Only a week left to wait!!

any pics pinball1973?

any pics pinball1973?

Sadly I'm not able to upload any pics now. Looks sweet in dark gray metallic with somewhat matching BBS style rims I found in the "Today's specials" section. I owned an 88 GL sedan up until recently so I'm sort of modding it like I would have in real life. Not a speed demon but has a pretty sweet sound. I really need to get a USB drive.

It's the same logic that puts the F150 Lighting in the game, then goes for the plain jane Ram Laramie instead of any of half a dozen sport versions of the truck...

I was really hoping for the new S40 T5 version, especially after the North American Volvo commercials that featured a Gran Turismo-style S40 being hurled around a rally track by a computer animated driver.

Aye, the 121-123 (I think) were all Amazons, with the P1800 being the coupe, but that was stuck with a crappy engine so it didn't go as fast as it looked.

 

[JBR-Man]

I am a huge Volvo fan.

When driving 240 I feel something like being "the old maniac uncontrolled 83yo grandfather"

Returning from the supermarket, just bought some eggs and bread. Pedal to the metal do arrive early at home!
"Faster, Gramps! Faster!!" - Said the little kid on back seat.

 

[dreesemonkey]

Completely off topic side note, my 88 GLT estate in the game ran a 20.xx in the 400m right off the used car lot. But it's just too ugly to dislike!

Really?


Yeh...

Some of the Volvo should of been Added.

XC90 T6
S40R
V70R

The classic 850 T5-R/R's... So nice.

But hey... No chance now

What Volvo's does Forza have?

I did the same thing hoping to get some funny drift footage. Um, no chance, I scrapped it. The thing was just to slow.

i love my volvo 240.

Yeah me too. Every time I saw that commercial, I'd recheck the release date of GT4.

There`s just a few cars I`m really missing in GT4, and one is a good old classic Volvo Amazon like the 1967 122 Sport or 123 GT

(- some others are Ford Cortina -68 & Toyota Crown -67)

Put Webbers on a 123GT and it could start to have some serious go. Ahhhh, back when Volvo's had interesting shapes....

I love Volvos so much, I was excited when I saw Sweeden in the map. The 240 is awesome because it feels exactly like driving a Volvo. I drive a 264 GLE (V6, baby!), and it's fun to rev it up and make the tires squeel. People just don't expect that out of a 27 year old Volvo. Once I have money to spare, I'm getting a 240 and racing that around (in GT, of course).

My dad races a Volvo from '68 (a 120?), with mods only to the suspension and maybe tires. Keeps it's paces with 40k Subarus and beats most heavy sports cars through the corners so fast they have to catch back up on the straights. His '80 244 GT is no slob either.

Edit> My 264 is easy to drift. V6 RWD.

Hi lads if you like the T5s the main UK website is having a race on the S60 PS2 GT4 they have it down to 7.07 on the Ring 1 lap,
T5 GT4 S60 Race

See you there.

 

[Pingzone]

Yeah it was nice touch adding the 2 volvos, but I cant actually see why they didnt add some of the other range? Like the 4x4?

 

[240Z]

I need some hi-res photomode pics of the 240 for wallpaper... Guess it's off to the European Hot Hatch Championship for me!

 

[~Sp33~]

i would have love to hve seen the XC90 in gt4, ive read up on it and its a pretty strong 4x4... As for that matter GT4 needs alot more SUV's eg honda CRv cadillac escalade etc...

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Little off topic, but not really.
Anyone here ever seen a 240 with a Ford 5.0 V8? My buddy bought one, and the guy he got it from had 2 more. Apparently its almost a straight drop in, lil to no modifications need to be done.

 

[~Sp33~]

the engine bay on the 240 is uber big, you could prolly cram a lambo engine in it LOL~!... itll prolly need lube tho..lol
