    Thanks for the answer - you can tell the last time I walked into a Volvo dealer (never)

    Volvo is starting with a 4.4 and doing who knows what to it.
    Thanks. But it will be converted to RWD won't it???

    That is my understanding as all COTF vehicles must run (the same) rear trans-axle set up.

    They said they will be running an S60 model. Will have to do some Ovlov homework on that one

    Thumbs up

    Yes, all the cars are 5.0L, & all run a transaxle.
    The M.B. engine is based on the dry sumped 6.2L unit found in the SLS, a wet sump version of the same engine is found in the C63, of which I have one!
    Yes, the "production" Volvo engine is 4.4L, but it will run at 5.0L, and development of this engine has been going on sinse last year, according to Volvo. Rogers says he hopes to have a running car by last 1/4 '13.
    All good, VERY good in fact.
    Cheers, Pickles.
