In 1995 a special limited edition race-bred model was released. This "850 T-5R" model was limited in exterior paint color choices: only available in cream yellow (2500 worldwide including sedan and station wagon), in black (2500 worldwide including sedan and station wagon) and emerald green metallic (500 worldwide including sedan and station wagon). Only 185 of the cream yellow models were made for the U.S. market. The vehicle was based upon the 850 Turbo with the B5234T5 engine with a special ECU known as the Bosch #628 ECU, that added 3 psi (21 kPa) to turbocharger boost pressure, giving the engine an additional 18 horsepower (13 kW).

Best Used Volvo?
What is the best used Volvo to buy?
Well that is endlessly debatable of course. If you want the model with the best turning radius, you would pick the 1968 144S. My wife drove one of these for 15 years, (and still reminds me from time to time that our 960 doesn’t turn as well...).
However, most driver’s today will insist on having modern safety features like dual air bags and anti-lock brakes. So my nomination for the best used Volvo is the 1998 S and V 70 series. This comes with all the expected modern safety features, and from a repair point of view, I consider this the last of the ‘simple’ models. By ‘simple’ I mean pre-CANbus ( pre- controller area networked) so it will never need a software download. Also, this model has been around long enough that now that we’re not gong to see any new and unusual troubleshooting problems crop up.
If you have a different nomination for Best Used Volvo we would love to hear from you!
