Have to say i've always "ignored" the 760 Turbo, i'm "old skool" in terms of how Volvo used to allocate model numbers and for me, the 740 Turbo is a much purer nomenclature than a 760 Turbo with a red block turbo.
Along similar lines, i've always felt the 360 should be called the 340 2.0 but Volvo started changing their numbering system about that time and the 245, 244 became simply "240", the 760 was launched as the 760 with the V6 then came the 740 - you know where i'm going with all that i'm sure!
Technically there is an actual "360" in the form of the 363cs which was a one off with an Alfa Romeo driveline and the PRV engine. They also did a 343 XD1 which had a VW turbo diesel and had the diesel land speed record in 1978.
