The Volvo 240 GLT Estate..

[Racer28]

I`m surprised no one have asked this question!? But could someone with the game post some screens/photomodes/videos of this wonderful classic? It would make me VERY happy!!

 

[Metzger28]

I believe there's at least one photomode picture of it in the screenshots section of this site. I'd check there first. Not sure though.

[Leo_Straight6]

[KSaiyu]

[MelloBoy]

didn't know if i should start a new "volvo" thread....if you guys are interested, here are some of my S60 shots. The 240 is WAAAAAY too slow to nurburgring lol. maybe after i upgrade the 240 i'll give it a try, but for now, here's the S60 on nurburgring

Volvo S60 on Nurburgring:

^some detail around the wheel...you can see the calipers...don't recall if that was the case in GT3...

^BMW building...i was trying to see if i could sneak through the break in the barriers after this shot, but no such luck haha

 

[KSaiyu]

hehe thanks, can't wait to take that to the Ring.

If only they had the Amazon or P1800 though

 

[Hebruins]

nice

My parents used to have one so I'm gonna love winning lots of races with that mainly just because they had one.

 

[Civicterror]

omg, that is some hot picture with the volv that is braking......some real sweet pic, thanxz!!! 👍

 

[vipersan]

Nice pictures. Too bad you can't go through those bariers. It looks like Nurburgring GP track is almost done

 

[Hebruins]

Just wondering: is the S60 also available in other colors? only seen screenshot of a dark blue one so far....

And can you buy other wheels on it? or is it like BMW in GT2 on which you could not buy new wheels?

 

[Mercedes SLR]

Does the 240 come in a red colour as well?

 

[Racer28]

Thank you very much for the pictures....im really looking forward to taking the 240 and tuning it to the max

Only the engine though; the rest of the car will be completely stock....

 

[maskrider]

Does the 240 come in a red colour as well?

It is in the used (Old Timer) list, when you have a status change (won some points, bought a car or etc), the colours of the cars may change, and the list will also change, if it is still in the list, you might be able to pick up a red one.

Wish they put the 850 in.

My friend has got a Volvo 850 with a V6, Twin Turbo, 4WD and 300HP. That would be great fun on GT4. It does 60 in 7.4 seconds.

 

[Dieselpower]

👍 Great thread ! more pictures of the 240 pleeeeease!

Well thats something new to me, I thougth they only made 850 with 5 cylinder engine och FWD. Is your friends car some kind of hybrid?

On topic: Love the Volvo 240. MORE PICS!!

Huh? a 4WD 850? Which model was it when it was stock?

My bro had a 850R. FF Turbo-Charged @ 250 HP Stock.

 

[Mercedes SLR]

Well, its a bit of a Limited Edition special I think. It's definitely got a V6 and 4WD as there's 2 exhausts and it says AWD on the back. Looks brilliant in black, makes a great sound and certainly shifts.

Okay, then the only possibility is that it was the 850 Wagon

Got them from my gallery: http://www.thrillinghill.com/gallery/Remko

As far as I know there is no such thing as a stock 850 with a V6 engine. Now I may be wrong with this as my assumption that the T in GLT stood for turbo but the 8'5'0 is a clue to the number of cylinders as is the 2'4'0. I.e. 850s are 5 cylinders where as the 240 is 4 cylinder (Whereas a 260 is 6 cylinder). Also a twin turbo V6 850 with 4wd & 300hp should be faster 0-60 than 7.4sec! 7.4 sec is similar to the 0-60 of the standard 850 T5(225HP?) I think. Whereas the T-5R (240HP?) & R(250HP?) are closer to to 6.5secs.

As for the drivetrain, there is an AWD 850 & I think the 850 R is AWD too.

Nice pics!

The 850R is FF, only the wagons have AWD. So yea, I find a V6 850 kinda hard to believe.

 

[Mercedes SLR]

Yep, it's definitely an estate. I haven't asked him if its a V6 but I found details of a similar car on the internet showing a V6 but some showed 5 cyl. Anyway, you know more than me, just a point of interest.

 

[Hebruins]

never heard of an V6 850......

As far as I know they were only sold with 5cylinder engines

AWD was indeed an option.

@duhuh: stupid me, totally forgot about hat red S60, thanks for clearing that up

 

[vipersan]

2 tail pipes not necessarily mean V6 engine.

If that 850 Estate had V6 engine, it would gave to be changed from other car, which would include A LOT of work...

 

[MelloBoy]

you sure it isn't a V70 AWD R?

Don't forget that it would be almost impossible to mount a V6 inside an 850 (sedan or wagon) because the 5 cyl engine is mounted left-right instead of north-south, to improve packaging and crash test results. Mounting a V6 left-right in the nose of an 850 iwould require a bespoke front end + transmission.

Sorry for being off-topic.

On topic: Can you change the wheels on the Volvos? And can you throw a few spoilers on your Volvos for us? That would make my day...
