I found this very interesting Volvo engine. Thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to share it with you, guys :D

They're saying all their powertrain will be 4 cylinder from now on. So that's the end of their quirky 5 cyclinder engines?

Didn't Volvo run a 4 cyl Group A (production homologated) 240T ~30 years ago that could pump out more than that..
..all day long?
Could this be a Ford (satellite) project?

They mention that fact, or specifically that it was a DTM car, at the end of the video, which is their reason for introducing it in Aachen, Germany.

Now, to the more important questions:
1) Can I have it in a V40?
2) Will I have to pay for a 2.0l 4-cylinder, or 450hp? :D

Yeah ok,thanks, .. actually didn't watch the vid that far..
.. but back in those days Group A production touring cars were (briefly) a world-wide thing..
The Group A Volvo 240T ( driven by Kiwi Robbie Francevic) won the `86 Australian Touring Car Championship,
..beating the factory Holdens, BMWs, Fords, Nissans.. et al..

No, this has nothing to do with Ford. Volvo was bought by Geely in 2010 & has gone from strength to strength since leaving Ford.
WRC is for boys. Group B was for men!

They won DTM as well.
