Cancel the state funeral, tell the king to stop blubbing - Brave Pill is not dead. Last week’s absence came after a group of animal rights campaigners pointed out that BP had run continuously for 178 weeks without a break, meaning the database hamsters were long overdue for a holiday. So we sent them to the classiest guesthouse in Fleetwood for five days to cure them of such indolent cravings. They are now positively looking forward to the next 178 weeks of unremitting toil.
While it might not look about as radical as a pile of boxes in a box warehouse, the T5 deserves credit as one of the cars that did much to transform the fortunes of the company that created it. Prior to its arrival Volvo was one of the most staid, sensible and boring car brands in the world. It had enjoyed success with a range consisting largely of large, slabby saloons and estates sold to the sensible middle classes drawn by utility, safety and the ability to lug caravans slowly.
The 850 was to sit further up the tree and would get all-new Volvo-designed five-cylinder engines that were compact enough to sit sideways across the nose, and although all-wheel drive would be offered most would be front-driven. Styling was hardly radical, being done under the direction of Jan Wilsgaard who had been Volvo’s design director since 1950.
The T5 was successful enough that Volvo decided to create a rarer, faster version - the T5-R. This got a boostier turbo and engine management that was tuned with Porsche’s help, the German firm also helping with chassis mods. Other changes included grippier P-Zero tyres and standard fitment of Volvo’s new side airbag system, the first in the world and an option on lesser models. Power increased to 243hp and the 0-60mph time fell to under six seconds for the manual saloon.
