Two new, performance-oriented Volvo models made their North American debut at the Chicago Auto Show.
The turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six boasts 345 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque capable of sub-5 second 0-60 times. These numbers are achieved via a new twin-scroll turbocharger, a larger intercooler, a 2.5-inch exhaust system and special ECU tweaks. The only available transmission is a six-speed automatic wih steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
With only 120 examples slated for our shores, we expect Volvo will have no problem selling every one before they’re scheduled to hit select dealerships this June. Additional information, including pricing, is to be announced.

- Analoggrotto Hyundai is the greatest automotive innovator of the modern era, you can take my word for it.
- MrIcky My maintenance costs are pretty high because I enjoy doing questionable things (when it is safe to do so of course). Tires and frequent oil changes seem a small price to pay.

- Shipwright I wonder where Speedmaster is based. Oh Looky! it's China! who would have thought.
