Not overly impressed, twin turbo V8 and it only pushes out 544 whp?
Mine will be around 750bhp in a month or two.

and if that volvo is really faster than an r1 even a 9 year old one it is a really fast car very few cars could come any where near the acceleration of a sports bike never mind the icon r1

Wasn't a standing start though, most high power cars will outrun sports bikes at that kind of rolling speed when torque becomes key.

agree also most sports bike have there top speed set electronically but even so for a car to keep up with one right up to there top speed appox 160 mph is still very fast.
