Did they make one?

Not that I'm thinking of buying it,but I've seen an advert for a 1998 V70 R diesel[it does say it's a rare car]did they make a "R" with a diesel lump? I'd have thought they all ran on proper fuel.

No such thing. The R is the performance model and the deseasel is the slow model

That's what I thought but don't know enough of the various model designations to have been sure.No wonder they say it's a rare car

They may have transplanted various R parts into a diesel- interior , bumpers etc ???
