Do they make a S70 R model exclusive to overseas and if so where?? If so do you know where there are any pictures of one? Thanks for all your help...

    Darell,

    Some of the North American S70 police packages are S70Rs. They have R series mechanicals (plus additional upgrades) but the trim level is pretty basic. Check out mine at the link below (note that the "modifications" listed were actually standard from the factory.) From the outside it looks like a white S70 T5...

    Darell,

    Found three more links for you re: Volvo S70 R

    1) www.volvoclub.org.uk/s70v70r.htm

    2) http://users.compaqnet.be/carcollection/Volvo/Specs/VolvoS70R.html

    3) www.race.be/info/timing/resultats/belrl.htm

    For more links, go to Yahoo and type " Volvo S70 R ". Approx. 700+ reponses will come out. No time to go thru all of them.

    Hope this help !

    Sorry, just remembered S70 is out of production. The corporate

    Volvo web sites won't have photos. But, they did have S70Rs

    at one time.

    They did in 98. Best bet is to look at Volvo website for the UK.

    Try www.volvocars.com and pick United Kingdom as the country.

    Volvo North America sends out a magazine (I think quarterly). In

    98 they had an article about the S70 that was originally written for

    the UK market. The pictures were all of an S70R but the text never

    mentioned the model (or called it a T5). It had a 160 MPH speedo,

    different front air dam, looked lower, different wheels and I believe

    it uses a viscous coupling for the transmission to reduce whell hop.
