This thing sounds mental. Reading the build for the car it has had some very nice features added like AOC radiator and manually adjustable awd.

I think that was the engine light, the whole ECU system seems to piggy back the volvo one so it probably intermittently throws up weird lights.

Deffo engine light but with that sort of output, you can see why it would throw a hissy fit when it bounces off the limiter lol

Looks fantastic and sounds it too. I saw this video on your channel not long ago santa.
I must admit though he has balls... is he really driving like that in the snow??? ;)

I want one 3!!!!
Sounds stunning......if someone could build that for me for an RS4 budget i would be back in a Volvo as soon as it was done!
As for the snow, if the arse isn't out your not driving it right, just saying :)

I would say that could easily be done for RS4 money and probably a good few grand to spare too.
Its funny, I still keep browsing at RS4's since the trip in yours... I think an S60R however will be on the cards next year.

If you read the build thread on it you wouldn't be saying that!
To get close.....or even to get the sound (which I believe is more to do with the downpipe of all things) could probably be done.

Quality, how refreshing to see a modern R with serious power. I also think that the engine sounds less "worked" in that car when compared to most of the 850 videos you see.. Must be the added sound deadening/refinements of the later cars. I have to say I think the driver is nuts going at that pace in the snow but from a traction (power to the road type) point of view it does a fantastic job :)
