Sarge,

he did then, he wanted more than 300bhp, so customised the S70 and now has AWD with a manual gearbox.

Volvo never made a S70AWD so he had to build one himself by the looks of it

It does turn out that Volvo did make an S70 R AWD but not for the UK market. Hedley (Basher) had got the rear bumper with dual exhaust cutouts in it from one on his S70 R.

Just to throw a spanner in the works,

A guy in Belgium reckons there was a S70r AWD available in 99 MY00


But I have not seen it or one personally. I guess the only way to find out is to send an email to Volvo Sweden.

I like the grip AWD gives I just hate the power & performance it takes.
