Acceleration 940 vs 850 T5
Tested the acceleration of my 940 a couple of days ago using a Dragy. I saw this group test from back in the day with some stats so used those as a comparison.
Alfa Romeo 164 Super vs BMW 530i vs Volvo 850 T5 --------30-50----40-60----50-70----60-80----70-90----80-100 850--- 6.3-------5.6-------5.6-------5.8-------6.5-------7.1 940--- 6.0-------4.6-------4.9-------5.3-------5.8-------6.7 (links to each time) A T5 makes 225bhp and 221ft/lbs (300nm) between 2000-5200, so my car must be producing a bit more than that, probably closer to an 850R's torque?

Surely it depends on what engine an 850/P80 is fitted with? T5 is merely a designation to indicate the car is has a Turbo, 5 cylinder engine.
For instance the output of my '98 V70 T5 (P80) fitted with the B5234T3 engine is 240hp at 5100 rpm. It accelerates pretty fast when I put my foot down more so than the other possible engine options that it could have had at the time.. Bob |

This test is based on a manual 850 T5 so the bhp is 225bhp at 5200rpm

It's not very often a Volvo comes out on top for mpg!
