Volvo S40 BTCC Super Touring Car w/ 2.0L N/A 5-Cylinder Engine: Intake Sound & Accelerations!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2022
- This video is about one of the iconic super touring cars of the late 90s when the Class 2 category was at its peak. These regulation were defined by the FIA for national touring car racing in 1993 and it was based on the "2 litre Touring Car Formula" created for the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) in 1990. The Volvo S40 was one of the weapon built and developed by TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) for the 1997-1999 British Touring Car Championship replacing the Volvo 850 Estate and later being used in the Swedish Championship (STCC) for 3 consecutive years. Rickard Rydell managed to win the 1998 BTCC title behind the wheel of this S40. The car is powered by a 2-litre, naturally-aspirated 5-cylinders engine, with individual throttle bodies, which was able to produce up to 290 bhp (around 320 during the final STCC seasons) and rev up to 8,500 rpm. The minimum weight of the car was set at 975 kg. Enjoy it!

Those were the days...
🎶My friend we thought they'd never end 🎵😁
@@nicolafox9452 haha! Absoluely spot on and I now have that song playing on a constant loop inside my teeny tiny little brain!
@@davekennedy6315 me too now and yesterday when I read the comment 😄👍
S40 and 850 wagon, badass car
They sure were.
This was, by far, my favourite era of BTCC. Also quite possibly my favourite class of racing, period.
hands down, best era of tin tops.
Almost production cars.. converted into racing cars right?? So awesome!
It certainly brought smiles to my face. They were fast and furious, but at the same time didn't take themselves too seriously.
Возможно он это думает... Но так ли это на самом деле? Кто знает...
So difficult to believe that this car is over 20 years old... The super tourers were so far ahead of their time...
They really were so impressive
That 5 cylinder sound 🤤
Try explaining that to the likes of Sadiq Khan. 😟
Five power!
Remember driving this car in TOCA Touring Car Championship on my PS1 back in the days... what a car, and what a game!
Those old games were awesome imo. Graphics aside. Duke nukem total meltdown ftw!
Same here used to always drive r the Renault Laguna blue yellow loved but also smashed a lot of remotes on the ps1 as the courses were ninja hard in the wet
Yeah probably my favourite game ever, something about it felt so realistic when I was a kid. The fact the Renaults always pulled ahead by miles it felt like such an achievement to catch them. And if you were back with the Peugeots you knew you had fucked up😂
Yh same here! I remember a megane too, and the volvo 850
yup it was my favorite to go car haha
NA race engines makes so beautiful mechanical intake sound. Audi A4 BTCC had that at its best.
Super touring cavalier 👌
BTCC ( and other touring car series ) are just so much better to watch than the higher tiers of motorsport. Close racing and lots of crashes. So entertaining to spectate.
And their actually based on cars you can buy....
Back when BTCC was interesting
I love the headlights and front and back boxy shape of this era of European cars.
She still has curves too though, late 90's had the perfect blend IMO. I drive the road version of this car, she's an old banger now but doesn't look too dated and is still a classic Volvo from before the Chinese took over.
Yeah back when Volvo and Audi made classy and understated elegant cars, now they both make disgusting overdesigned price tag with wheels cars IMO like most of the "premium" brands.
@@Veka550M I don't agree. I still find Audi and Volvo come of the best looking cars in their class.
@@Veka550M Volvo and Audi today are fine. Doing waayyyy better than many other brands
Those where the days, and Volvo spent a fortune by any standards to try and get that engine to it's competitors level, but actually ended up getting ahead of them. The "stock" racing classes can quickly become extremely expensive when they have to work around the rules.
Besides BTCC and STCC, they also raced the S40 at Bathurst in Australia 1998 (both whole race and short clips on UA-cam) and Rickard Rydell drove the wheels of it, as usual.
Yep, I remember reading an article in was it in Racecar engineering where they explained how the TWR guys ended up turning a 300£ stock cylinder head into a cylinder head that gave something like 30hp power increase and costing around 15 000£ a piece.
@@dudigi Yes they were not allowed to weld the factory heads, so they cut them apart and used screws to hold the new pieces together. An engineering accomplishment beyond anything remotely sensible, they were spending F1 kind of money by some accounts.
The regulations prohibited changes to the stock valve angles, so the engineers at TWR cleverly angled the whole head 🤣, a genius bit of individual interpretation of the rule book
Ahhh those were the days, BTCC golden years. Toca Touring Cars on the PC Pentium 1!
Legendary 5 cyl sound
The S40 Super Touring is one of the most victorious STCC cars in the hands of Cyan Racing with a total of 22 victories during its five years in the Swedish championship.
The car weighed in at only 975 kg and had close to 320 hp from its naturally aspirated five-cylinder Volvo engine that was equipped with an X-trac 6-speed sequential gearbox.
In 1997 Volvo switch from 850 saloon to new model Volvo S40, at the end of year he (rikard Rydell) was fourth with 1 victory and 5 podium. In 1998, he finally won the BTCC title in a Volvo with 5 victories and 12 podium, beating Anthony Reid at the final meeting. He also won the 1998 Super Touring Bathurst 1000, sharing a Volvo S40 with Jim Richards. In 1999 he was again third behind the two Nissan Primera with 4 victories and 7 podium.
Sounds absolutely epic
BTCC's Super Touring years were the best days of BTCC
Brilliant. Memories from my school days. Btcc back then was amazing. Thanks for making this video. :)
Always a pleasure for me! Thanks for watching!
Love that Volvo 5 cylinder growl.
USED TO DROOL OVER THIS CSR WHEN I WAS A KID !! LOVED THE SOUND OF 5 CYLINDERS!!!! MORE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD USE THEM !!!!
5 cylinder, NA and a car which really based on a street legal version - great times these were! Thanks Bozzy for this footage!
engine variety is something sadly missing from modern motorsport. the only sport that really has it nowadays is endurance racing but back in the 90s variety was everywhere. f1 cars and le mans cars with 8, 10 and 12 cylinders. btcc with 4, 5 and 6 cylinders. i really miss when you could tell what car was coming by the sound before you could see it.
Not only did the cars all sound unique, they also all looked unique. Easily identifiable, recognizable and memorable in every way.
Over the last two decades, cars and motorsports have all begun blending into the samey boring looks and sounds. The lack of variety doesn't hold the interest as well.
OMG, this car sounds glorious!!!! 5 cylinder 😍
The golden age of BTCC, watched every race at Oulton Park in the 90s!
Touring cars are the best. Makes me fall in love with nearly every car and dream of building a street sleeper
Toca touring cars. allways reminds me of the game when i see that car.
Sure would love to see the Volvo 850 wagon BTCC. That car is iconic!!!!
LOVE that car! An estate has no right to be in a Top Tier Race, but DAMN, I LOVED it!
Same for me. Never seen that before, unfortunately. Hope to record it in the future 🤞🏻
@@19Bozzy92 Do you know if it is still around somewhere?
@@19Bozzy92 Jason Minshaw how owns and drives this very s40 has a 94 855 TWR aswell, talk to him and maybe can go and film it next time in the UK.
My friend bought John Cleland’s BTCC Vauxhall, what a car, 7mpg.
I loved how you got these super clean nice looking cars turned into budget (of some sort) track cars
This brings out the best childhood memories. Thank you 🇸🇪
5 cylinders are just such a pleasing sound
Feels amazing to see this car if full glory! Beautiful!!
Had a poster of this on my wall when I was younger. Brings back some great memories of late 90s BTCC watching these go over Clay Hill at Oulton Park!
Second time I’m watching this and wow, seriously I wish I was alive and able to watch these when they still raced, absolute beasts 🔥
Those were cool days for the BTCC. The V6 Ford Mondeos sounded really cool too
Grew up watching these in BTCC. WHAT a time to be alive. Great work as usual BOZZY👏👏👏 Thanks for the upload ^_^
No worries! Thanks for your comment :)
that fuel injection setup is insane.
That sound, brings back some lovely childhood memories.. bring back those btcc days :D
Grew up watching the BTCC Super Tourers back in late 90s, beast machines nothing compares 👌👌👌
Rikard Rydell's Pimp Ride!
Back when Volvo was awesome, now I don't recognize Volvo at all.
Polestar?
What a beautiful sound and sight
One of the nicest touring cars ever!
5 cylinders and gearbox screaming, love it
One of the best looking touring cars ever from an era when they were allowed to race properly
The early 2000's BTCC era was amazing!
sounds like a high pitched viper
Great video with legend car!
Thanks!
Great Cams
5 pot, what a beautiful soundtrack 👌👌
Even now still the standard of what I believe to be a beautiful car.
I own one of these. Not a touring version, but an S40 2.0 T from 2001. It’s great.
Great engine 👍 sounds legendary 🙏
wow! thing looks amazing.
todays young people won't even understand how awesome this car still is.
Brings back so many memories as a kid. Loved the btcc back then. Was at donington for Matt neals independent win 👌
As was I! Greetings! I was on the hill on the outside of the old hairpin. The whole crowd went up on their feet and the atmosphere was brilliant.
Car: Beautiful
Sound: Orchestra
Driver: Fast
Total: EPIC!
SO Beautiful
Art.
God that sounds stunning
I'm starting to like straight-5s and V10s more. 5 just so happens to be my favorite number. 🥰
Holy crap, that thing is awesome
Nice sounds
Better than the official transmission!
The Goodwood official videos always have microfone problems, sometimes you heard the car leaving the line when the filmed one is finishig.
Thank you for sharing
I wish they made the road going S40 with the 5 cylinder. I'd buy one straight away.
My girlfriend has one. With a 5 speed. We got em here in the US.
Next body S40 has
What a beauty. I had basic s40 diesel. great car
20 years ago.. i worked on this car. Started as some tire boy 😊 ended as mecano.
Miss those days 😢
The Primera GT was my favourite STC. Later on I owned the road going version and loved it. This and the late 80s early 90s Bathurst with the Sierra, Skyline and Holden's are my favourite race series' ever. And group B rally.
Them p11 SR20DE primeras are no joke. I swapped one for my l200 pickup sight unseen. And I was like wtf have I done. Pulled up to meet the fella to do the swap seen it was lowered big exhaust and all that i was like err fml. Deals off. Took it for a little test drive, and instantly fell in love with the primera. That sr20 was silky smooth, and all the extra nismo parts he put on it made it pretty damn rapid. I remember doing a quick 3rd pull against a civic type R and I smashed it. Got it off the clock in 3rd, still had heaps of revs to go, mine reved out to 9,200rpm and the intake sounded wicked as! I regret getting rid of that car. Was the rarer red top version too.
@@timfagan816 All that and they were comfy, too. Loads of space, long gears for the motorway. I had an air filter and a straight through exhaust and 18s. I painted the rocker cover ford imperial blue. Pimpers are rare now. Gave £500 for mine in 2008. Can't find em now and if you do you're looking at up to 5k.
That sound! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Simply simply Lovely 😎
Jason has done a fantastic job with the old girl.
That's a very interesting injector setup for the ITB's.
most iconic Touringcars ever built💯
Che meraviglia il sound dei motori anni 90....
So proud to own an s40
Hi and thanks Bozzy 👍 😎 as it says in the comments memories ♥️
Bring back super touring!!!
The sickest part is, what if F1 sounded like this instead of the V6? damn it sounds good!
There's a name... and a car, and a paint scheme, set of rims, bunch of sponsors I haven't seen in a while!
The golden age of touring car racing!
baby V10 sounds 👌🏾
Was the best racing the world will ever see.
Love it..🙌
Prfct Cars
Prfct Time🎉🎉🎉
Love volvo in BTCC games.
What a sound
Toca Days, my dad used to take me to scribante racing track in South Africa, when I was about 6yrs, met Rydell, Briggs man,
Tempted to get this car in red with sunroof 😢
Epic!
Best ever sounding super touring era car - snarling at low revs and howling at high revs
thing is sick
My favourite Volvo
I fuckin love Volvo race cars 🫡
5 cylinders actually sounds dope
the paintjob is fucking incredible
Seeing this car on the hill and with a 5 cylinder feels weird when you own an the same generation v40 t4 with the 2L 4 cylinder turbo engine…
Didn't know you could get the 5 cylinder in the old s40...wonder difficult is it to do. ..
@@russelsingh4936 idk but the s60 has a 5 cylinder and the engine room isn’t much bigger so there should be enough space at least…
@@russelsingh4936 dont think its possible, the space between the frame rails is a lot thinner in these cars than the 5 cyl cars
@@russelsingh4936 You can't...
Ohh shivers!
Amazingly nice 5 cylindersound 😁 1:48
Nostalgic 5 pot screamer ;-)
Awesome
It actually sounds better coming, than going..
Rare for a car, since most have the nice note at the exhaust end
Back when race cars shared traits with bog standard road going cars. Made them much more relatable and cool
Rumori metallici! Vecchia scuola!
Nice !!!
1:01 the money shot.
