2006 Volvo S40

2009-02-17

Volvo released their redesigned Volvo S40 sport sedan in late 2004 creating an affordable performance vehicle without sacrificing any safety aspects. Volvo's main challenge was developing the same safety features in the small packaged Volvo S40 that come equipped on the much larger Volvo S80 sedan. The Volvo S40 was designed using VIVA (Volvo Intelligent Vehicle Architecture). An unprecedented amount of time went into developing the chassis and body with a focus on crash protection. Four different types of steel are strategically used throughout the body of the car to provide maximum energy absorption in engineered crush zones, all in the interest of occupant safety.

The Vovlo S40 T5 uses a new five cylinder in line 2.5 liter turbocharged engine making 218 horsepower and 236 pounds-feet of torque over the wide range of 1500-4800 rpm. The Volvo T5 model comes with a five-speed automatic or a sixspeed manual transmission.

We took delivery of our project 2005 Volvo S40 T5 six-speed manual transmission to develop new performance products to enhance the already capable performance of the S40 and V50. The S40 and V50 has attracted an entirely new crowd to experience the legendary safety that Volvo has built its reputation on. This new demographic is largely comprised of younger owners who are more interested in improving the handling capabilities, interior and exterior styling, and engine performance than Volvo owners of the past.
