Model History:
The 1995 850 T-5R was a very limited production, single-year model following Volvo's entrance into the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). The model resulted from a collaboration between Volvo, Porsche's Weissach Design Center, and Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR). Porsche's Weissach engineers modified the production T-5R's drive train and B5234T5 engine, fitting it with a new, Porsche-tuned Bosch 628 ECU. This increased peak power output to 240bhp with 221 foot pounds of torque for the year. 0 – 60 could now be reached in under 7 seconds, and the top speed was electronically limited to 155mph.
The car's aerodynamics were revised with a new front bumper and integrated lip, side skirts, and a trunk spoiler. This lowered the coefficient of drag to .29 and improved high speed stability. Aerodynamic advantage was the most commonly cited reason for Volvo entering a station wagon for the 1994 BTCC season, and it is widely believed that the T-5R's aero-rework was to address this for it's entry in 1995.
The T-5R's suspension received larger anti-sway bars, uprated springs and re-tuned dampers, and was fitted with the bespoke, BTCC inspired 17X7” Titan wheels, only offered on this model.
