Hats of to Yamaha for their engine.
Mistero, forget the can of coke on the D5, try a Martini, shaken of course!

Just thought I should add that there's several of these films on you tube:

XC90 V8 Road Wheel goes round......and round again
XC90 V8 Indicator Light switches on...... and off....and on....and off
XC90 V8 Seat Belt Warning Bong......bong.....bong....bong

I heard they're all superior because they're from those clever Yamaha people.

We bow to their greatness.

From Wikipedia....

4.4 L Volvo V8 in a 2006 Volvo XC90
The B8444S is a V8 automobile engine developed by Yamaha Motor Corporation for Volvo Cars. It is built in Japan and based on Volvo designs.

Volvo began offering a 4.4 L V8 engine in its large P2 platform automobiles in 2005. It was initially offered in the Volvo XC90 SUV. It is available on the Volvo S80 and mated to a six speed Aisin Seiki transmission of Japan also with a Swedish Haldex all wheel drive system AWD. The 4.4 L V8 Volvo engine is built by Yamaha in Japan under Volvo design and specifications.

The engine is unique in Ford's wide range of V8 engines in that it is designed for transverse use and has a V6-like 60° bank angle. Officials of all three companies involved insist that the Volvo V8 is not related to the SHO engine.

As revealed in BBC's Top Gear show (Series 14 Episode 5) this basic engine is also used in the Noble M600, albeit longitudinally mounted, developing some 650 horsepower with the addition of 2 turbochargers. The Noble unit is custom built by a 3rd party firm expressly for Noble Cars UK.

It's more Volvo than I though....
