Very impressive. Handling on the limit like that rubber is very important. I wonder if they have summmer vs all season. It just looks like bmw runs out of grip much sooner. Could it be the more conservative traction control on volvo slows it down much sooner whereas bmw lets the driver push on? Whatever it is - ouch.
Xc90 would wipe out all the cones and look on smugly like it won afterwards.

No video for the xc90, but the XC60 does just just a bit better!ll! All cars here are on summer tyres. Continental for xc40 vs pirelli on BMW.

Having had to emergency stop on the M1 in the wet the other night my XC90 behaved exactly as I expected so I would expect/hope it to be as composed as the XC60.
