Wilvo S80 test drive since 2009 sedan
Bach! And Rammstein
Initially, the Volvo S80 was focused on respectable and serious people. In the updated version, this model has become much more sports, which successful youth will undoubtedly pay attention to. Listen to your favorite music in a good car great pleasure. But with Volvo S80 I had to brutally break off. My hand did not rise to a full-time CD player to push my duty plate with the tracks of Sex Pistols, Ty Clash and Megadeth. Punk and heavy rock updated the Volvo S80 interior is categorically contraindicated. Organ concern Sebastian Bach or opera Giuseppe Verdi Aida here is the sound format of the interior S80. Sightly, comfortable, expensive. I am not even embarrassed by the fact that the new four -spoke steering wheel and radio is decorated with metallized plastic overlays. A decorative insert that dissecting the torpedo on a horizontal line at the level of the ducts is also plastic.
In the exterior, air intakes, panels under the rear lights and the design of the lower parts of the doors were subjected to the change. A new radiator grille with an increased proprietary emblem, according to designers, should inspire respect for drivers of cars moving in front of the S80. Perhaps the reflection of the updated Volvo in the rear view mirrors really looks threatening, but when you contemplate the car live, I want to refresh in memory and listen to the Nutcracker of the Obyna Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Cute, well familiar, and in some places even funny.
The Volvo S80 has two global innovations: a new 2.4-liter diesel engine created from scratch and, as an option, a sports chassis: shorter and shorter springs, reinforced reptile stability stabilizers and an improved steering mechanism. Compared to the standard configuration in the sports version of Volvo S80, the front part is lowered down by 20 mm, and the feed sags by 15 mm. From its predecessor, the new engine got only the Schildik D5. The engine produces peak power in 205 horses at 4000 rpm. Two turbochargers of different sizes create a boost pressure of 1.8 bar.
A smaller turbocharger at low speeds provides the shortest response moment to the accelerator commands. At high speeds, a larger turbocharger enters the business, which increases the traction of the engine necessary to accelerate at high speeds. The dynamics of acceleration in Volvo S80, of course, is not the flight of a bumblebee Rimsky-Korsakov is a sullen, assertive Rammstein. If I decided to go in the mountains for overtaking, click the gashter until it stops and do not doubt anything. The faster the second turbine turns on, the higher the chances of being in time until the next turn.
Volvo S80 knows how to tickle the nerves. A noticeable step, we note, aside the pensioner legion of the Volvo-Direvians.

Eight out of ten customers prefer leather upholstery. The S80 salon is ready to please the majority aspirations
With a mechanical KP, the engine on average consumes 6.2 liters per 100 km. On the machine, the motor consumes 6.7 liters of fuel per hundred
