CAAD4 Posted September 19, 2018 Share I've just taken a customer for a test drive in a V90 Cross Country T6 with Polestar software.Looks like a complete grand pa car (if you ignore the 21" wheels), put your foot down and you've got supercharge whine and turbo whoosh and giving some unsuspecting performance sedans a hard time.Stick it in Dynamic mode and there are pops and gargles from teh exhaust. Its not quite as brutal as the germans but its a hoot to drive. I think its awesome. Those wheels are magic. I think that if that motor was chipped etc, it could also be even scarier, but it's not necessary, plenty quick enough for a wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_ Posted September 20, 2018 Share I'm loving the whole Volvo range at the moment, they REALLY stepped up their game with the XC90 (my wife is dying for one) and the V and S 90 are just stunning looking beasts. I haven't driven either but they sure do carry presence on the road. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromp Posted September 20, 2018 Share Thanks. Even I now understand the concept. Maybe turbo anti-lag but turbo destroy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in the area you're welcome at anytime to pop in and take one for a spin. Chris_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBKloppers Posted September 20, 2018 Share I heard once that they achieve this by dropping a drop or two fuel in the exhaust manifold to create the sound. If that is the case, I agree, its windgat. It kind of ties into some of these manufacturers to have a little speaker in the bulkhead to add to the aural experience. Purely WINDGAT I think.Why do some cars ( I noticed VW & BMW ) " bark " from pull-off . I have googled same , but I'm still not sure . Is it the turbo waste-gate letting off some pressure , preventing the turbo from spinning to fast. Is it harmfull for the motor . Find it irritating and windgat.

gummibear Posted September 20, 2018 Share There's just something about a tjooned wagon that is supposed to be for families all civilized and practical n all... For me my fascinaction started with the Volvo 850 T5R many moons ago.I like the wagons to and it started when i saw a Audi RS2.Favourite wagon has to be the Audi RS6 V10T Tromp, Chris_ and Wannabe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted September 20, 2018 Share I saw this guy the other day. It actually looks very good in the metal. RS6 really is all the car you'll ever need. gummibear and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was working it was one hell of a car, when it wasnt working it was hell.Having been built in the era it was built, and for the circumstances it was built for, it was most definitely not an every day car, very brutal when the boost came on.What an epic car. mazambaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
