Volvo 240 Turbo 2-Door - a photo on Flickriver

            Volvos are boxy. safe, boring, slow, and driven by squares.

All this was pretty much set in stone, until it was upended by the 240 Turbo. 

Launched in late 1980, intially with a turbocharged version of the 2.1 L SOHC 4-cylinder, upgraded in 1983 to the newer 2.3L engine, shared with the new Volvo 700 series.

A large car by the standards of the day, the 240 wasn't particularly heavy by the standards of today, and the car was pretty fast in a straight line.

Volvo entered the model in International Group-A racing, winning the championship against such rivals as BMW.

The 240 Turbo eplaced the GT as the sporty model, equipped with a turbocharged engine, with the 760T intercooler from late 1983, following the sale of the 500 FIA Evolution cars, which were the first 240Ts to be fitted with this uprated intercooler as standard. The two-door model was available 1981–1984; four-door sedans available late 1981-early 1985 and wagons available 1982-early 1985. Came with new black trim as opposed to the popular chrome trim found on the GLs (grill, door trim, door handles, tail light sills and lens dividers). All came factory stock with 15" Virgo alloy wheels.
