Out of intrest how quick are these?

I see them all the time on the A55 in North Wales. Obviously the have "Heddlu" on the bonnet instead of "police"

If its a T5, its as quick as anything. Handling and suspension on these is amazing and certainly not standard.

Kroegen · 31 Oct 2006 at 16:17

Probably 6 seconds to 60, and a top end of 150mph+ i should think.

It's an S80 - 0-60 is 7.5 seconds, top speed 140mph.

Do the Police modify the engine at all?

Just tend to derestrict and up breaks and suspention

S80? looks more like a facelift V70 to me.

How do you derestrict a car that isnt fitted with a restrictor?

Thats what the DVLA have it listed as although I must admit I was a tad suprised given I was until now unaware they offered the S80 in Estate form.

Manufacturer VOLVO
Model S80 T SE AUTO
Body type ESTATE

Fuel type PETROL

ca9phoenix · 31 Oct 2006 at 16:28

Its not. its deffo a V70

YJ55 TTF This North Yorks. Volvo V70 T5 is used by the road policing unit. It was new to the force in September 2005, one of the first vehicles in the fleet to carry the '55' date identifier on its registration plate.

its halfway down this page: http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/police/police26.htm

The S80 isnt available in an estate.

It's not. When the S80 saloon was launched, Volvo promised they'd never make an estate version of it.
