Oh right, sorry I thought the 'R' is also a T5?

[M-R-P]

Does look nice though :insane:

[stribo]

How very dare you, the R is far superior to the T5. :D I prefer Lee T5's R.

[JamesT5]

Well the body work does and the ride height looks ok. I'd prefer silver wheels though if I'm honest....

[jbconno]

Very chav-tastic !

[T5frankie]

i think it looks the business

[graemewelch]

i like it. has somthing different about it

[graemewelch]

How very dare you, the R is far superior to the T5. :D I prefer Lee T5's R.

here we go again :smile:

[volvokid]

Yeah its cool I like the wheels just not the colour

[stevmo]

does look very nice but agree, not sure on the wheels

[T5frankie]

i know what would look nice on that some genuine 18" pegs, now there is a nice wheel........lol

[V70 Graham]

[T5frankie]

No i am sorry but that is class anyone on a Volvo forum that knocks that is taking the pi55 and to pick on the wheel colour is just petty it is right on all counts and if it was running 400 BHP it would be a total package .....and i dont like estates!
come on guys admit its an awe inspiring car!

Tony.

[T5frankie]

i had that car as my pc's wallpaper years ago lol

[jotter22]

if its good enough for frankie its good enough for me!

[MoleT-5R]

How very dare you, the R is far superior to the T5. :D I prefer Lee T5's R.


depends on what you like, I prefer the edginess of the T5-R over the softening of the driver experience in the later cars, but that is not just Volvo, its in all cars as development improves handling and power delivery the rawness is slowly lost

[silverhorse]

Looks great bar the wheels. However, its a pointless exercise as it will be undriveable on anything other than a perfectly smooth road. If it was in this country he would need an endless supply of front splitters!
Fair play to the chap though. We all have to spend our money on something.

[danny-R]

I actually like the stance. I'd love my v70 that low

As long as you never had to drive it anywhere!!!

[danny-R]

It would be fine apart from speedbumps. The world would be a boring place if we were all the same

[graemewelch]

i think it cause the car is so smooth that it stands out. i need rid of the chrome of mine. it looks terrible. wonder what that splitter would look like on mine

[jdavis]

looks good with no roof rails!

I've seen that splitter a few times now and never liked it, I think it just looks good in that photo

What's the opinion on this one? I like it, especially the way it sits although not sure on the wheels.
I'd rather spend my money on engine mods than a body kit.

[graemewelch]

exactly my thoughts. ive seen it on gold cars and it looked wrong. but like you say on this one it looks right

[M-R-P]

Not keen on the wheels myself but I'd sell various internal organs for that body kit.

[danny-R]

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3191218/2005-volvo-v70/ more pics here, does look very nice indeed

[MA'R'K]

Seen it ages ago, love it.....even the gold wheels...very unique! I always thought it could do with some JPS livery on it to really add to the black/gold theme ;)

[M-R-P]

Japanese Pig $h1t?

Yep that's the one.......nothing to do with Lotus whatsoever ;)

when i think of white estates this is what i want

[graemewelch]

nice. could see my self in one of those.

[danny-R]

Have always loved the legacy gtb's. That mondeo looks nice but lets face it a white Volvo estate is the way forward :)

That's too low and I don't like the wheels. Other than that it look pretty good.....

[graemewelch]

if it was mine i wouldnt touch the ride hight but the orange would have to go out the of the head lights. and the grill would be satin black. colour code the roof rails to

[stribo]

Having owned 3 white cars I would never own another, but I like the stance of that, and the bodykit.

[JamesT5]

This looks better and one of the best Phase 3 model photos I've seen. I think this is the P3 V70R.....

http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/s562/_JamesT5/Carscoop_HC_7_1_zps56670fb7.jpg

[graemewelch]

white is great. you can hide almost every swirl. dents dont show up as bad. and they look great when clean. white or black id go with white every time.

Why on earth not? I thought there was! Maybe the 'R' is still to come.....

By the way, I've just sent a query to Volvo UK to ask them this question. I'll post the answer on the forum IF I get one back from them...... :D

[T5frankie]

the v70r-design is not a v70r mate, not even close, its not a performance car at all all show and no go lol

[Jamest5r]

Bit like you pmsl :)

[T5frankie]

Bit like you pmsl :)

dont count on it mate

[Wobbly Dave]

I've yet to see one better than Lee's R.

[Jamest5r]

dont count on it mate

Trust me im not lol

[T5frankie]

Trust me im not lol

still got the cossie to whip yo butt

[graemewelch]

the v70r-design is not a v70r mate, not even close, its not a performance car at all all show and no go lol

i agree and disagre. i bet the latest r design d5 has more torque that the v70r did when it left factory.

[T5frankie]

still need bhp to make a fast car and some revs lol

[Santa]

Probably a similar response when I asked about getting a Polestar S60 or a T6 S60 with a manual box

[Jimmie]

I've yet to see one better than Lee's R.

I see one quite often that looks better but he is not on here.lol
And it is the same colour but it is a facelift model.

[TJ101]

i agree and disagre. i bet the latest r design d5 has more torque that the v70r did when it left factory.

Correct

The V70 R only has 300bhp and 400 nm

My 2013 V70 D5 R Design is 215 and 440 nm before the Polestar



But it will never be a "R" :)

[M-R-P]

the v70r-design is not a v70r mate, not even close, its not a performance car at all all show and no go lol

Aaah but...

That Heico model will be a T6 (300+bhp), 6spd flappy-paddle gaytronic and although soft, the suspension and AWD system would make for a pretty interesting drive.

Plus - you can see there's a different exhaust on it, what's the chances of it having a remap and a bigger intercooler - that 3.0 I-6 twinturbo lump has a lot of potential.

Who wouldn't want to drive a fettled T6?

Nicest car on this thread by a country mile.
Its the front apron that makes these cars look good.
Good work James!!

Only because Gail wears the trousers.

[LeeT5]

You wouldn't say that when your cleaning the wheels with a tooth brush!

Really?? It wasn't the last time i pressed 'Advanced' in my car.

Yes, tis very nice. Just need to sort out that rear box! Looks like it's sagging abit. The tail pipe shouldn't sit that low.

[LeeT5]

I've yet to see one better than Lee's R.

Thanks Dave....

....a thousand words.

[MoleT-5R]

Really?? It wasn't the last time i pressed 'Advanced' in my car. Ok so your lucky to be able to transform your car at the touch of a button and it is a very nice car and very nicely presented at Trax when I saw it and the photos don't do it justice to seeing it in the flesh.:eye-poppi

Think we're all sagging abit these days.....lol:uglyhamme
