In the 1990s, manufacturers fiercely competed to craft the ultimate compact sedan. With the rise of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), brands saw an opportunity to showcase their racing innovations while marketing their road cars.

Among them was Volvo, a marque synonymous with safety and reliability. When Volvo ventured into motorsport, they partnered with TWR, not only bringing a sedan to the grid but also making a bold statement with a wagon. This led to the birth of the legendary 850R.

Presented here is a particularly special example, finished in the striking Cream Yellow. This wagon has been tastefully upgraded with the newer V70R power unit, unleashing 250hp from its turbocharged inline-5 engine. The exterior retains a refined yet purposeful stance, featuring aerodynamic enhancements and 17-inch Volan wheels. Inside, a full black interior with Alcantara accents serves as a subtle reminder that this is no ordinary Volvo.

A true homologation special that blends practicality with performance—an icon of its time, now ready for its next chapter. DM us to arrange a viewing or secure this piece of history.
