95 T-5 R vs. 96-97 R What's the diff????? 850 1999

Apart from the other points mentioned, all of which I agree with, the R has a "productionised" high performance engine with stronger conrods and crank, which was carried through into the S/V70 T5 and R variants.

My handbook mentions the "overboost" feature on my R, but since it's an import from Sweden, the handbook may be for an earlier version.

Certainly I've not noticed any extra wallop even when leaving the car on hard acceleration for well over a minute.

I've also seen a wide range of seat options - mine has two electric front seats, but I've seen T5-Rs with one or none.
