Weight difference between 850t5 and t4

[T4Rick]

What do you rekon the weight difference is between the 850t5 saloon and the s40 t4

[LiamT4]

Difficult to know what weight is accurate, as different sites, etc, have different weights.

I think the s40 t4 is about 1295kg from memory, but i'v seen numbers range between 1255kg and 1375kg.

[T4Rick]

At a guess then would the t5 be more looking like the 2tonne mark lol

[mitchyboy01]

1996-2000 V40 T4 = 1295kg
1996-2000 S40 T4 = 1285kg

850 T5 Curb Weight, lbs. 3232 (saloon) 3342 (estate)
kgs. 1466 (saloon) 1515 (estate)

2 tonne?? it aint a range rover lol

[LiamT4]

The 850s are pretty light for the size, less than 1400kgs.

People think that volvos are heavy cars but for the size they are actually pretty light. My s70 weighs about 1450-1500kg, but an e39, a6 or e-class of the same year are a fair bit more than that at around 1600kgs.

[M-R-P]

V70 is about 1560kg, 150ish heavier than the 850 sooooo... about the weight of a fat bloke between T4 and 850 T5 ;)

Rofl.I was just comparing thats all.I used to have a t4 and std it was 13psi before i tune it up a bit.Anyway at 13psi say 200 bhp that was quick but the t5 is i think 225 std with i think 8psi.May be its the weight of the car holding the power down or i need to turn the boost up lol.Im putting the boost gauge on at weekend so i will no more of what the car is making.I did the engine conversion from a 2.5 n/a auto to a t5 manual. The t5 engine has been stood a while and my boost soloneid is from a breakers.Yesterday the T5 wasnt really doing that great but i think its begining to wake up or so the boost soloneid.Might sound daft maybe im still used to the t4 lol.

The t4 is the faster car, the car weighs a fair bit less and the torque is only slightly down on the 850t5.

[T4Rick]

My T4 was rapid i do miss it but from being a kid ive always like the T5s for the looks and performance the insurance for me was always heavy

[LiamT4]

My t4 was about £100 cheaper on insurance than my s70r.

Thats a big saving

[LiamT4]

Thats a big saving

Only one group difference though, t4 was 16 the s70 is 17.

[T4Rick]

No that was ainsley's car (haizum).

[t5_monkey]

Never realised the T4 is so light... no wonder it shifts with 300bhp!

I see lol

[LiamT4]

Thats why they are quick when standard, seems like they have more power than they say, but 200bhp and 221lb/ft combined with sub 1300kg weight, means they are a quick little car.
