New Evolve S40

i know new S40 is fast still domestic car is not as good as a imported or a real european car like audi, bmw, or vw

Jesus thats a fine lookin automobile!

anyone else notice the odd camber on the fat-ass rear tires?

New Evolve S40

"In 2003, Evolve built two “Evil Twin” S60 R’s for SEMA. For 2004, Evolve is back with this low-rider S40. Lightweight 19-inch wheels wrapped in nice, fat blubbers showcase 15-inch discs squashed by eight-piston aluminum calipers. Volvo isn’t one to falsely raise expectations, so underneath that black hood is an “extensively modified” five-cylinder based around a larger turbo and punishing the tarmac with an estimated 425 horsepower routed through Volvo’s electronically controlled Haldex all-wheel-drive system"





and heres the link for the other volvos they built. http://www.evolvecars.com/gallery/v...umName=SEMA2003

I love the s60R's and its about time evolve makes some performance upgrades, instead of just body kits.

that's an s40, not an s60...

Droool.... I never knew a Volvo could look so beautiful.

Holy schitt...I remember when Volvos were box like station wagons that were butt ugly...I'd give my left nut for that one /\ though

imo its just a euro ford focus RS... ford focus = volvo S40 = Mazda 3 therefore just another ford...

holy shit how wide is that rear tire?!

corolla dx-r... go drive a focus, then a mazda 3, then an s40, they share some pieces, but alot of the pieces are different, you'll see the difference...

i won't test or take either of those cars... ford = crap thats y i dun drive one and never will

looks like a lexus at front... nevertheless, nice car...

my first thought exactly. I'm thinking 22s?

just go test drive an s40... you'll see the light...

damn the A-Spec heavier than the std RL. 3984lbs.. those kit really make it heavier... Still too heavy and also no turbo but faster than my current legend and SH-AWD. this is an A6,S60 AWD and E-Class 4matic rival.

22 inches wide? wtf?

Rim Radius.

oi s40, wonder how much the kit would cost... Would still rather have a s60 R.

have any of you ever heard an anti surge housing equipped turbo? my boys pt76gts has one and his new plate is going to say "AKA 747" because coming into boost sounds like a plane screaming by you

thats just brutal

wow another 4 door AWD turbo car that kick ass too bad honda and toyota dont have any it look like most car company sell one
Mitsu EV0 VIII and now they also have EVO VIII MR
Subaru with WRX and STi
Mazda with the mazda6 MPS
and now Volvo with S40.. wow.. all these small sedan with huge power..

It is most likely not as sporty as the cars u listed, but its something. of course this car is prolly in the 3-series/5-series category while the others are slighty below it.

i dun like the new RL kinda looks like fugly but i do like the interior... i would prefer the new GS over the RL... the new GS hav much nicer styling...

yeah sorry, that volvo kicks all those cars asses. i stil want an s60r, 5 cyl. 300hp 300 ftlb torque, 6 speed manny tranny

This is sweetest looking Lexus yet. It is going to be a hot seller.

Is it me or do those polo players seem a bit large? they seem like they are about to start yelling " Fee Fi Fo Fum"

that volvo has a serious camber problem

Ever think it might be intentional? Highly dout it but its a possibility.

Ford
Volvo
Mazda
Lincoln
Jaguar
Aston Martin
Mercury
Range Rover
Land Rover

So Jag and Aston Martin are POS's too?

I think it's a pretty sweet car that has much potential as any other car...
