All new Volvo S80
The
all new Volvo S80 has been developed to provide a high-class experience behind
the wheel.
A rigid body and optional active chassis contribute to the
excellent dynamic driving properties. Three alternative chassis settings allow
the driver to alter the cars personality to suit his or her personal tastes.
And to ensure optimal power efficiency and roadholding in all situations the V8
model is equipped with Volvos All Wheel Drive system.
Not just the
driveline but the entire car has been developed and honed to provide a driving
experience of absolute premium calibre. The entirely new body features a highly
advanced structure that not only contributes to excellent deformation properties
in a collision, it also boasts exceptional torsional rigidity. Torsional rigidity
is crucial to good driving properties.
What is more, the chassis has been
further developed for the purpose of a stable, predictable and controlled behaviour
on the road. Much effort has also been invested in components such as the suspension
system and engine installation to achieve high-class comfort.
All
Wheel Drive
The V8 model of the all new Volvo S80 is equipped with Volvos
system for four-wheel drive All Wheel Drive. With the help of an electronically
controlled hydraulic clutch, All Wheel Drive distributes the power between the
front and rear wheels to ensure optimal roadholding in various situations. The
latest version of the system features Instant Traction, which switches power from
the front to the rear wheels at lightning speed when starting off on a slippery
or loose surface.
The All Wheel Drive system has been beefed up to handle
the power from the powerful new engines.
