[About the actual vehicle]
- Volvo, which continues to challenge touring car racing with cars such as the Volvo 240 Turbo and 850 Estate, created a new machine in 1997, a compact sedan, a touring car based on the S40.
- Developed to compete in the British Touring Car Championship, BTCC.
- He won the race at Brands Hatch on September 7th.
- The engine mounted on the front is a 1999cc inline 5-cylinder. Generates maximum output of 300 horsepower.
