For anyone that needs to hear it: the title says the only v8 Volvo put in a car, not the only car Volvo put a v8 in. Also, they mention the xc90 in the video. No clickbait. Just poor reading comprehension.

Volvo’s are big time underrated

The Swedish "secret service" (SÄPO) used them to both protect and drive around the King and Queen until a couple of years ago. Still used by the bodyguards

My dad had an S80 V8 in the UK! There are only 113 of these over here EXTREMELY RARE CAR

That Volvo S80 V8 sounds fantastic!

man you guys just keep getting the cars I'm been wanting, first the V70R, then the C30 and now the V8 S80. Looks like we have the exactly same taste in cars, must be a Jersey thing...

You would never expect that sound coming from a Volvo. Nice work.

Got an S80 T6 -02, this V8 S80 AWD is pretty much my dream car lol

What's even crazier is that this very same enginethat is under the hood of both the Volvo S80 and XC90 is the very same engine that is in the Noble M600 super car albeit twin turbocharged. A car that is literally on par in performance with the likes of McClarens, Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

The rear sway bar and upgraded end links make a huge difference (although i did add Bilstein B6’s at the same time).You gotta do it bud! I have an 07 S80 V8. Great car. Btw- I ran it straight piped for about 20k; drone was awful. I had an issue shifting from 1-2 under heavy acceleration...I had it flushed and adaptations reset and it fixed it.

I have built(assembled) those :P Love the v8, every engine tec was salivating when a v8 car was being built.

I think it's no coincidence that it's built by Yamaha and truly is an instrument

As you mentioned, the S80 V8 is the ultimate sleeper. Owned one and while not a car nut, it's definitely at the top of my list. Very capable high performing vehicle almost zero vices. Best of all, the traffic police never took a second glance! One more thing, I like the style of your narrative. Polite, but you don't hold back on criticism nor commentary, where it's due. Nice work.

The rear end, ever since the s60r has been my favorite part of the Volvo cars. Add that exhaust note and now I want one even more.

T5 not as reliable? I disagree, but cool V8 Volvo for sure.

That sound! I wasn’t expecting that 🤩

This engine is AMAZING. My dad's XC90 V8 R-Design is a blast. There is nothing more fun than doing second gear pulls at 40MPH next to some guy in an AMG or M car. The looks on those peoples faces are priceless. The thing sounds sooooo good. Love that engine. Shame the trans sucks, but hey, I bet someone could shove a built M66 behind it with enough time and money.

That’s a nice, mean sounding exhaust. Not excessively loud but just absolutely sweet at the same time. Not too raspy at all

I had a new S80 V8 Sport back in 2005. Loved the car and eventually sold it after six years. It was a beast and handled great in the snowy North East Winters.

Such a fantastic sound and totally underrated car. I love it lol

My mom has an XC90 V8 Sport... love these engines!

I have an 07 S80 V8 Sport. Bought it with 55,000 miles, it's at 92,000 now. Great car.

There was someone in Denver who autocrossed one of those bad boys regularly. They sound *amazing*.

Sounds AMAZING! Props to Yamaha!

I've got one of these for sale in the Houston area, and I actually bought it from Pennsylvania too. Amazing car, but parts are so rare.

I really love how simple and straight forward that engine bay is. Everything relatively accessible, no engine cover or strange turbo plumbing.

I Love my S80 V8 (see it in my profile) Also had an XC90 V8 before. AMAZING engine. Rare, special, reliable, beautiful character and sound.

Never knew the Volvo V80 was powered by the Yamaha engine ? Wow … sleeper car. You don't see many on the road. Unique for sure.

The exhaust alone, like!

I've got an 07 s80 v8 awd, I absolutely love it

I owned this exact same car back in the days. I loved it. The exhaust note reminded me of my friend's Corvette. For a sports sedan, it handled real well, but punching it with the exhaust note was my favorite thing to do. I wish Volvo would bring back a V8 engine.

Magnaflow makes some really great sounding mufflers. I put a set under a V12 BMW and they sounded great.

Volvo made many great marine v8 engines. I remember one of my dads boat had 2x 430 pentas wow the torque was imence for a 55ft boat. V70 d5 driver. Love volvo

I've got an 07 w/Sport Zubra package, BLIS, Adaptive cruise control, Climate package, Personal car communicator, Collison avoidance system, $54k sticker. Added R-design 18" wheels and Elevate quad exhaust system. Sounds awesome. Wifes car. ;-)

I can recommend the TransGo valve body repair kits. I've put one in my ZF 5HP24A which used to slur between gears and it now shifts beautifully. I intend to put on in my XC90 V8 Aisin as well.

My Ocean Race edition XC90 has a V8...

The sound from behind was sick - like a supercar or something :D I live in Sweden and the S80 V8 is pretty exotic even here. Must say that the thing I love most with this model is that the engine is from Yamaha (and now the sound after hearing it with modded exhaust) :D

I had customer that owned one, I really like the looks of the cars. One of the most beautiful Volvo's out there (after the P1800 ofc) :-)

Got 2 v8 xc90 v8 ocean race. Great video. Great in snow. Smooth on highways very few knew about the Yamaha. Time to fix the isuzu axiom now another rare find.

I've just switched from my S80 V8 after 200,000 really happy miles. It's been a great buy, combining Volvo build quality with an engine and drivetrain that are man enough for the job. In the UK there are very few on the road - fewer than 100 I believe - but there are some still around and on sale. Round the town, a car like this is just wasteful, but if you need a good motorway cruiser, snap one up!

I recently purchased a 2010 s80 v8 executive (9 months ago). It had 121k miles, full records, volvo dealership owner owned it. It never needed a thing except wiper blades. The lack of it never needing anything, sort of scared me, but I took the plunge. Its my 2nd volvo, and absolutely adore this car! I did replace the leaky valve cover gaskets; video is up on yt. I also added a Becker exhaust system, rear ipd anti-seay bar, front strut bar (made for a v60 orig). All my mods are on my channel if anyone is interested. The trans is what I'm concerned with... Its junk from what I understand; but I did di a soft flush of the trans fluid, using Toyota brand fluid... Video is also on my channel. All in all, its a fun, comfortable car that make beautiful noises! I love watching people's faces when i pull in the grocery store or mall lot. Lol

Amazing car man

I used to have a inline 5 Volvo v70 T5, i never did anything to it except filled it up and changed airfilter the 3-4 years i owned it. It just kept going.

I actually just bought a volvo S80 V8

New Title: How to talk with your hands.

My Stepdad has one just like that but he put the 2020 v60 rims on it and it looks insane!!!

The 60 degree aluminum Yamaha V8 was first put into the gen 3 Taurus SHO. It was 3.4l high revving engine. It was a great engine -but- they were known for camshaft failures. 💀

I have a v8 s80 and ppl are suprised when they see me pull off from red lights 😂

Very nice and both good guys.

I remember these well. In fact, I was looking for a T6 with the elusive Dynamic package which was included a sportier suspension.

I own a 2007 volvo S80 V8 AWD, its black with stock silver rims. Its automatic sadly, they only made about 2000 of these. So finding this is amazing.

Thats soo cool that you made a video on this when i just picked this car up a couple of weeks ago. Literally within 2 hours of picking up the car, i took off the mufflers and it sounds godly. Another option that came with this car that i luckily happened to get , was the 4C suspension settings. same as it is with the R. Theres also a mini fridge in the back seat :D

These cars are great, they were mainly produced to attract the US market. Rare as hens teeth in the uk. Interestingly enough it has the same power plant in it as the Noble M600 but with the addition of a twin-turbo producing 650bhp.....

We have a S80 V8 awd summum... We love it.

I've got one as well and it gives tremendous amount of fun. Pedestrians are looking for a some kind of muscle car, but when they notice that the sound comes from a Volvo, they have a face like WTF. On my channel there's one video of my S80 with upgraded exhaust in tunnel. Sounds freaking awesome!

I deleted the muffler in my 2005 XC90. Great V8 sound.

Concur, just did my alternator, labor intensive. But it's a great car, and it's something you don't see everyday 😊

DUDE THAT EXHAUST IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a new lover off Volvos, I have one c30 1,6 R design 2012 for 2years, now I'm gonna make the switch to a s80 2,4 D5 from 2007, big improve for me in power 😅

i'm a voLvo guy, i like that V8 exhaust sound like

Finally the video I’ve been waiting for. You should get the 2009 XC90 V8 R-Design that comes with the quad exhaust tips. Love mine for the first year I’ve had it.

Test drove an S80 V8, it was a sleeper, awesome

I have a 2011 Volvo S80 D3. I like the sound of my 5cylinder diesel even though it has 300,000miles it's still extremely reliable. I wish to get a V8 but its just not economical.

I love my C30 !!!

There is 1 more car that got this engine that you didn't mention: the Noble M600. Sounds amazing...

Before you replace the transmission, just service it first. The Aisin Warner transmissions they use like fresh fluid in them. S60 T5 owner with Motul MultiATF in the trans. Holds up MUCH better than original Type 4 when cruising through hills for 4 hours.

Great video! But, your hands remind me of an airline stewardess showing where the emergency doors are on a jetliner. Lol

I have a 2007 S80 v8 and I love it! I posted a cold start video of my new exhaust. It's getting lowered next week!

This particular V8 isn't adopted by some Vulva company, either. The Noble M600 supercar uses the exact type of engine with a twin-turbo setup.

Actually Volvo made a concept in 1952 called Volvo Philip. It had a 3.6l V8 and is now in the volvo museum in Sweden

I saw in a magazine years and years ago about an Volvo s80r interceptor with the yamaha v8! sweet rides the s80r I drove burned the tires 1 thru 6

I I have this car and it was the best purchase of a sleeper

P3 S80 uses Mondeo/S-Max platform. That's why it handles. Unlike many other Volvo models.

I was a Volvo mechanic, i remember this old dude who came every year with his 2 cars. A beautiful 242 turbo white mint condition under 100000 km and then his daily Volvo 740 turbo with +900000 km still running smooth. I too have owned many old Volvo's Good and bad, but i have never had a breakdown, and not one of my cars had under 400000km on the clock. One of them leaked alot of oil, and i drove many km with very very little oil in the engine, when i filled it up there was room for 3 liters, so i was driving around with 0.9 liters in the engine.

Best Volvo ever, i have same

Nice to see the s80 V8 it really is a rare car. I don't think I've seen one in the uk yet. But I must say I still prefer the sound of the i5. Volvo should stick with that platform it's what they're renowned for

Have the same exact car in white with tan interior. But mine has the vented and heated seats Great for Florida. This car blows my c4 corvette away easily.

I had one and loved it. This car is super reliable and fun to drive. Only bad thing is this car kills aftermarket alternators so buy Volvo parts only don't cheap out.

The Volvo B36 is a four-stroke, cast-iron 90 degree petrol V8 introduced in 1952. It develops 120 PS (88 kW) at 4000 rpm and 260 N⋅m (192 lb⋅ft) at 2200 rpm. The engine weighs 235 kg (518 lb) and displaces 3.56 liters.[1] The two-port Carter carburetor and intake are located between the cylinder banks. The crossflow heads are of a cast iron alloy, while the five-bearing camshaft is of a case-hardened steel alloy. The engine is often said to be a twinned B18 four-cylinder, but in reality only some parts in the valve train are interchangeable between the two engines. This engine was used in the Volvo L420 Snabbe truck, amongst others. It had been developed by Volvo for a planned luxury automobile called Volvo Philip in the early 1950s, when this project was cancelled it was installed in a truck instead. Due to excessive thirst, diesel engines soon became available in this range of trucks. The B36 was discontinued in 1973, although it had no longer been used in trucks after 1966. It was the last petrol truck engine built by Volvo, and the only V8 engine in any vehicle except for the newer Yamaha built unit used in XC90 and S80. A marine version was available, the Volvo Penta AQ180 boasting 180 hp with twin carburetors.

Great video as always Gregson and love to see you got your car featured Joey! I really wish I never sold mine. 😓

Volvo Philip, 50s V8 sedan that was originally intended to appeal to the US market, it was eventually cancelled and the design elements went into the Amazon

Dropping an engine into one an s80! Actually not to bad to work on ! Wish me luck on turning it on!😁

This is the engine used in the Volvos in the Australian V8 Supercars in 2014 - 2015. Of course it was heavily modified. It had 600bhp.

3:05- The one part that is NOTORIOUS for going to shit fairly quickly.. And usually the first thing to break

Fun facts. This V8 was jointly developed by Volvo and Yamaha for use in Volvo large cars but also for the Australian Garry Rogers Motorsports team for the V8 Supercars Series. It was also used for BOAT racing.

I really want one of these. One day.

I use S80 V8 as a daily and S60R as a weekend toy

Well in series production its the only Sedan with a V8 that Volvo built, they did some B36 (a Volvo truck engine) in some prototypes in the late 1950's and 1960's.

You are right, sort of kind of lol. Volvo put in a V8 3,6 litres in the 1950-s in the concept car Philip but that didn´t make it, but it did roll as a company car and still exicst! However Volvo put in the V8 in a pick-up truck/ small lorry called L42 "snabbe" -the fast one! Late 1950-s. Later Volvo used the V8 as a marine engine. Nice video Btw. All the best. Magnus

Had a few clients with these. Real pain in the ass to work on. Common for alternator failure and a real bitch to change.

“Not gonna drive into a tree” but you are going to drive in every single hole on the road 😂

I knew about an XC 60 with an 4.4. Litre Yamaha. Built exsp. for one of the Volvo CEOs

I don't like the old volvo's but the new ones are so nice, i'm going to buy one for sure!

Just bought one.

I love my Volvo S80 V8 AWD 2007

Audi have a Haldex system too, but they opted for rear wheel bias instead.

A v8 volvo and a milwaukee heated jacket, nice combo

1952, Volvo Philip V8. Later they made 5 Volvo Amazons "project Victor" , B36 V8.

I owned a 1998 Cadillac Seville STS back in 2004-2007. I've dearly missed it since. But, the Northstar.....well, was a Northstar. lol. But, the car itself was so comfortable. This seems similar. I want..... Really badly!

TY, are parts readily available for this and if it needed engine work can dealers repair it?
