this Amazon is not just a tuned Amazon, its a completley re-engineered car that has an insane buildquality. Volvo was so impressed that they invited the builder to showcase his car at the SEMA show in Las Vegas in Volvos booth. Its a fantastic build
@m1ste2tea Sorry about that, it was a bit too early and a bit over the screen. After a while it faded away however ;) Speaking of respect you can comment politely as I do when replying.
when "for sale" gets put on a window with a custom decal like that it doesn't mean for sale. it mean's "you can't afford this". i don't know how anyone could part with that anyway. this is craftsmanship at it's finest.
По каким критериям лучше всего сравнить надежность Вольво и Мазды? Как правильно сравнить? Какие критерии лучше выбрать? Что нужно для этого? Подскажите, пожалуйста, кто знает.
In fact i am happy u finaily found a sponsor for ur all hard work we know u do all this for passion but for the sake of time u lose u need to eat travel etc congrats
@Dani01c Yes they look very similar, and the sound is pretty sick. The right engine code is B6284 T, and it was on 2,9 L producing 272 hp with 280 ft. lbs.
@Dani01c The 2JZ engine doesent have the name volvo on the valve cover. It's a T6 Engine from the Volvo S80 producing 600 hp. Mattias also have an Volvo 242 with a t6 Engine in it, just type in " Vöx 242 T6 " on youtube and you will find it.
Cool. But, to be fair - the Volvo exists the outside turn at a much higher speed than the 458. So when they "start" the race, the Volvo has a significant amount of extra speed. Oh, and get a windscreen :)
The Aluminium one over the engine that connects the suspension tower are strut brace, as said before, if you're refering to the black, smaller one connecting the right susp tower to the engine, that's a torque damper, it counteracts the rotation of the engine/gearbox as it aplies torque to the rear differential. The S80 T6 has it standard as does the Alfa 156 GTA.
@john2rds I just know it's a T6 because I followed the build. But you are correct 960 engine and T6 are pretty much the same engine except the turbocharging. And Volvo have been using that head since the 80's/90's for all their 4valve engines from 4-6 cylinders, it was designed by Porsche. And yes my friend is building a T5, gonna be redicoulus
Why in gods name would you want to sell that masterpiece? Those headers are a work of art and Koenigsegg brakes make it so unique you will never have an imitator.
Salesman : "excuse me sir i have a 50yr old volvo for £250,000 or a brand new ferrari 458 for £200,000, would you like a test drive" Me : "no need the volvo is far more attractive a car, whats that, it's faster you say?"
It's not surprising that a car that is modified by someone who works at Koenigsegg could build a faster car than Ferrari when he was involved in producing some of the world's fastest cars
Gustav, come on man, u need o learn to ignore the idiotic comments. Most of us truly appreciate your work and from some ingrates to complain about that ads?! Are you kidding me?! Keep it up and we look fwd to more races and updates. Best wishes. Z
does anybody know whether 458 is going to launch a stripped out light version of its current 458? like what they have done with the 430? i mean Scuderia ?
Q: Why do Ferrari owners insist on rolling start drag races? A: Because a Ferrari clutch replacement costs $15,000 and is almost a guaranteed result of 1 too many full power standing starts in a Ferrari.
the only thing it can help with is side to side movement of the strut towers and how much do they move on that car.. I'd like to see test data before I believe it has any effect whatsoever
Scott Russell This was filmed in Sweden, and the person driving is the chap who built it, Guy Martin who now owns it "claimed" it was the fastest car in the UK, as much as I love Guy he doesn't really know what else is out there, I mean Red Victor 2 is/was the fastest street legal car in britain.
@m5boarddotcom No, no, the end is the best place... don't put it in the beginning or the middle, keep it where it is, that way I know when to x out the video before the ad, lol.
All that work, time and effort to beat a Ferrari in a straight line and at the end of the day the guy is still driving a Volvo station wagon. Great job who ever you are, because you are now among the ranks of old men and flacid dreams. Next comes the oak wook panels!
i though same at the beggining, but is not 2JZ hahaha, just looks like, just T6 volvo´s engine, cuz someone said prob. T5, 5inline cant has 24valve, its 20v or 25v in case of 5 per piston! I would know if this engine is old or new one from 2012+ S60s T6? Im dont know so much about volvo's engines
@pissenisse130 Nu är det så att de inte brukar trimma Ferrari bilar av en väldigt enkel anledning. De håller sällan för mycket högre effekter, och redan i originalform är de anpassade till att vara "på gränsen" av uttaget. Ett Volvo block är hållbart nog att ta rejäla effekter, och de gamla fyrcylindriga kan i princip ta hur mycket stryk som helst. Mer en vad man kan säga om Ferrari motorerna.
According to pavag.volvcars it is a V6 engine from Volvo 960. Currently it is at 788 horsepower. Not sure when the video was made, but in 2006 the engine was at 600hp. "Under huven hittar man den sexcylindriga motor som satt i Volvo 960. "
@McLarenMercedes I see what you are saying, but you missed the point. For some people like me, That doesn't impress me. If I put a Giant turbo in my Honda minivan or whatever and make gobs of horsepower, and manage to beat a lamborghini in a straight line, that doesn't make my minivan better than a lamborghini. That's my point.
Seriously can't blame Guy buying it. He's a total petrol/diesel head. I love him to bits but he's got his own personal museum to keep his bikes n cars. He's still got a TY80 which was his first bike to share with his sister, Sally as children.
@technician172 looks like it has an inline 6, likely turbocharged, bmw derived, i dunno. but knowing american cars with their huge torque and hp figures, they can't put any of it on the ground, i wanna see this thing launch that's all
@kirreww Not saying he wasn't smart, just saying the sum of his work was merely a fast Volvo station wagon. How does that make any sense? If I could put a jet engine in a shopping cart would that make my shopping cart better than a Ferrari?
i don't need to learn anything i'm french and i just put some words after anothers and you understand me perfectly ....now if you want, we can start to talk French to see how is YOUR grammar? shall we?

Wow man just wow ! This is ART !!!
@m1ste2tea Sorry about that, it was a bit too early and a bit over the screen. After a while it faded away however ;)

Dont miss the Volvo Amazon "Vöx" by Mattias Vöcks Official Playlist by GTBoard.com
Built by Koenigsegg employee. Notice the brakes?
yep.
@AJ *built buy mattias vocks which he is koenigsegg employee and sold to guy martin*
Are you kidding me! Love Volvo's.
@PALIOFX Does it ruin it? WHere should we place it?
What does something like that even go for? It's absolutely beautiful.
+Sam Stanfield a stock amazon isn't that expensive... but with those modifications? Probably not as much as the ferarri at least. :p
+Sam Stanfield the asking price was €89,300 and i think they got pretty much that :)
That's crazy. Well worth it though, it's a mint sleeper.
Guy said in his latest TV show that's it cost him about the same as a new M3 would of... So a bargin really!
Yeah, i wold definetly get this,it's gorgeous!
when "for sale" gets put on a window with a custom decal like that it doesn't mean for sale. it mean's "you can't afford this". i don't know how anyone could part with that anyway. this is craftsmanship at it's finest.

@renniealba GT version?
Dont miss the Volvo Amazon '67 "Vöcks" Offical Playlist.
По каким критериям лучше всего сравнить надежность Вольво и Мазды? Как правильно сравнить? Какие критерии лучше выбрать? Что нужно для этого? Подскажите, пожалуйста, кто знает.
This vid should be titled:"gone with the wind"
I've seen/ridden in several badass automotive machines, but this is truly a work of art. My god, why on earth would you sell it?
Holy f***
Damn that's one nice car! Pretty fast!
Fucking cool man . This car made me see volvo's beauty.
In fact i am happy u finaily found a sponsor for ur all hard work we know u do all this for passion but for the sake of time u lose u need to eat travel etc congrats
LMAO the ad that came before this video was actually funny haha.
@Dani01c Yes they look very similar, and the sound is pretty sick. The right engine code is B6284 T, and it was on 2,9 L producing 272 hp with 280 ft. lbs.
Please tell me that's a sequential shifter.
@Dani01c The 2JZ engine doesent have the name volvo on the valve cover. It's a T6 Engine from the Volvo S80 producing 600 hp. Mattias also have an Volvo 242 with a t6 Engine in it, just type in " Vöx 242 T6 " on youtube and you will find it.

@m5boarddotcom I like the advert briefly in the video better than having to watch something before the video ala youtube's own.
@m5boarddotcom at the end of the video, not in the middle of the video in the middle of the screen. I was about to turn it off lol.
Ótimo vídeo, volvo lindo, tenho um volvo amazon 122s que é a paixão da minha vida

@lordsmygen Not quite. It appears to be a B6254S or B6304S (from a 960) bored to 2.8L.
@ravenstylea2 the owner who built this amazon is an engineer at Koenigsegg
@john2rds I just know it's a T6 because I followed the build. But you are correct 960 engine and T6 are pretty much the same engine except the turbocharging. And Volvo have been using that head since the 80's/90's for all their 4valve engines from 4-6 cylinders, it was designed by Porsche. And yes my friend is building a T5, gonna be redicoulus
did they make a two door 122 wagon or was it chopped? Beautiful car!
Grattis till en så snygg bil
It's called a strut brace. It joins the 2 suspension arms together and improves handling.
@yoshidis4 No, this is a 6-cylinder 24-valve engine.
Holy shit I remember seeing the feature of this Volvo on Speedhunters. I love the build, time well spent.
Why in gods name would you want to sell that masterpiece? Those headers are a work of art and Koenigsegg brakes make it so unique you will never have an imitator.

@SileDevil and the video is filmed at the old airfield near Koenigsegg's factory, owned by them.
Does that Volvo have a sequential gearbox? I see a third pedal but no H pattern on the shifter. Such an awesome car.
@onrdmr Actually it's a tuned T6 engine from Volvos newer cars.
I thougt the volvo was gonna flop off the start line but they dis a rolling start
@yomammaspoodle The engine has Toyota written on it. It is a skyline straight six.
@yomammaspoodle LOL.
Thats a nice car swap 😊
mer liknande filmer tack!!
this is pure awesomeness.
White tiger energy drink gives you 10,000,000hpw
Confirmed!
very solid build
@ESPirits87 Yes you r right I watch one more time I saw the Volvo Amblem. Thx.
Strut brace. Helps prevent body flex. Extra stiffness aids handling.
@DigitalBatman you can see the Agera R in the background at 2:34. the same one thats in their other vids im assuming
does anybody know whether 458 is going to launch a stripped out light version of its current 458? like what they have done with the 430? i mean Scuderia ?
whats that rod over the engine? is it to stiff the car, and what is it called?
@m5boarddotcom just make that it doesn't interfere with the video footage itself
@yomammaspoodle There is clearly no traction issues as it just put all it's power down at low speed without any fuss?!
Q: Why do Ferrari owners insist on rolling start drag races? A: Because a Ferrari clutch replacement costs $15,000 and is almost a guaranteed result of 1 too many full power standing starts in a Ferrari.
Finally a race !!!!
That Volvo build is absolutely amazing!
True!
Fair point. Would be interesting to find out.
That Volvo is sweet :D
the only thing it can help with is side to side movement of the strut towers and how much do they move on that car..
I'd like to see test data before I believe it has any effect whatsoever
Those rims look awesome on the Volvo :)
Is the Volvo running a 2.9T from the S80 T6??? Adorable car!!!
this is guy martins volvo
What for a crazy car. Good work!
@m5boarddotcom Perhaps you could run the sponsor video in an intro or outro if people don't like it in the middle of the video.
that it is! i didnt look too closely and i just assumed it was the volvo inline 5 from the v70/850 etc
no mate it is Volvo 6 in line
Andy Frost would have a field day with dismantling all this guy's dreams of being the fastest street legal car in Britain.
Scott Russell This was filmed in Sweden, and the person driving is the chap who built it, Guy Martin who now owns it "claimed" it was the fastest car in the UK, as much as I love Guy he doesn't really know what else is out there, I mean Red Victor 2 is/was the fastest street legal car in britain.
@m5boarddotcom No, no, the end is the best place... don't put it in the beginning or the middle, keep it where it is, that way I know when to x out the video before the ad, lol.
He should put a carpet over that trans tunnel. It look a little unfinished without it
Which engine is it? Is it the 3.0l 24V R6 known from the 960/V90 ?
right
Does 24 valve mean that there are 2 inlet valves and exhaust valves per cylinder?
@ravenstylea2 Yes, yes it would.
@m5boarddotcom Perhaps he's referring to the Volvo? :-) AFAIK, the GT version of that Volvo only came in the sedan version, not the wagon
All that work, time and effort to beat a Ferrari in a straight line and at the end of the day the guy is still driving a Volvo station wagon. Great job who ever you are, because you are now among the ranks of old men and flacid dreams. Next comes the oak wook panels!
u are right me drive always VOLVO
they are the BEST cars
i got now V 40 20.TURBO 22OHP 2004
I LOVE IT
that 2J sound is so distinctive!! awesome build =)
Its not a 2jz... its probably a T5
oh damn good eye... lol i could swear i saw a Supra engine in there
Tove Jonny Elsikario SSJ Actually, it's Volvo's own T6 engine (:
Simon Jensen Oh, tanks for the correction! :)
i though same at the beggining, but is not 2JZ hahaha, just looks like, just T6 volvo´s engine, cuz someone said prob. T5, 5inline cant has 24valve, its 20v or 25v in case of 5 per piston!
I would know if this engine is old or new one from 2012+ S60s T6? Im dont know so much about volvo's engines

smokes a Ferrari and looks fantastic! Very clean, really impressive work!
@m5boarddotcom true. Pardon the poor choice of words on my part.
sweet craftsmanship .nice video. thanks...
Pure class

960 had always 6 in line
it sounds like a skyline or supra?? does it have a skyline/supra engine?

Super clean & well made amazon! Love the colour too! So "oldish"
Old Volvos never die, they only get faster ;)
What gind of. Suspension the Volvo wagon has
How well does it go around corners? It matters, you know, unless that's used only for drag and NASCAR.
@Derb16 har den redan varit flera gånger för några årsen
i don't need to learn anything i'm french and i just put some words after anothers and you understand me perfectly ....now if you want, we can start to talk French to see how is YOUR grammar? shall we?
@MamoDad nice video with windy mic and an average camera.
