Volvo Enters SCCA Speed WC GT
Volvo has entered speed GT with a group of s60Rs. With three to four cars per event the top driver will be none other than Derek Bell.
Speed GT will rule this season. http://www.speedarena.com/news/publi...cle_3889.shtml |

For certain, the once SWC GT, and now perhaps Super Touring is going to be well worth watching.
Thanks for the info. |

This was super secret. Volvo kept it very tightly concealed for some time. That, and with everyone looking at and speculating about the Caddies, no one was looking to the Swedes.
It will be an exciting season I think. The stock S60R uses a 2.5 liter, 5 cylinder turbo. I dont know if they are basing the WC engine off the same one or not. |

I just got confirmation that it is running the inline 5 cylinder turbo. It is also rumored to have been co-developed with Cosworth.
