They should never had stopped producing this motor! It is reliable, soo effortless to drive, sounds nice if you do something to the exhaust. My wifes 2008 XC90 has the 4.4 V8 and it is a lovely motor. The new 4cyl turbo hybrid stuff is garbage...
Lmao, reliable until your balancing shaft fails. It's a good motor, don't get me wrong, I loved my S80, but having to remove the engine to take the head off and service the balancing shaft is so annoying and time consuming, A V8 was never meant to be mounted in an engine bay made for 5 cylinders. Good car but glad I managed to sell mine.
I’ve got an XC90 V8 sport. This replaced a V8 E39 540i touring, so both got 4.4l V8s. Opinion - Yamaha V8 just a smooth, powerful and linear as the BMW. Volvo gearbox not as dynamic or as intelligent as the BM. Overall though Volvo a fine rival to the German, and a real sleeper!
A Japanese 60 degree Yamaha V8 mounted transversely in a Swedish Saloon Car... Nice. Funny thing is that this very engine with two turbos powers Noble M600 which is a stupidly fast supercar. In Noble, this V8 makes 660 Horse Power in Track Mode! It's a Volvo Engine that can push 660 HP!
This same engine was used by Volvo in its V8 Supercars program in Australia with its S60 Supercar until a couple of years ago. 5 liter, 650hp naturally aspirated, and it sounded good!! ruclips.net/video/pQOYENeoJ3A/видео.html
The V8 (BS444S) was in fact designed by Volvo while production was contracted to Yamaha. The benefit for Yamie was they received rights to develop it further (up to 5.4 L) for marine (boat) applications and they did... The Noble engined cars featured twin turbos to get to 600plus HP.....
Yeah the gearbox isent the best. But it has much more too do with the lack of service they get. And i dont know about the bias, after 5 month of ownership my rear tires have half the thread left
These have Haldex AWD systems on them. You can swap the differential electronic module for one out of a XC90 and it will give it closer to real AWD. It makes it from a 95/5 split to a 60/40 split. You can do this on any volvo with the generation 3 Haldex AWD systems. I just did it in my S40 and it makes a world of difference and the 40% power in the rear is enough to break the tires loose
I never expected that sound to come out of a Volvo
The 4.4 Liter engine comes from yamaha! Japan meets Sweden 🇯🇵🇸🇪
That is what they all say ;)
@@benjamin82h that's why it sometimes sounds like UZ - series
Volvo designed the engine, but Yamaha built but to volvo engineers specs.
@@MrGharDK so..?
Volvo fans are alive...😍😍💗💗
The Volvo S80 V-8 is a beast, Volvo for life.

The twin charged 4 cylinder on its own is cool though, but not near the level of the turbo 5s and 6es, or the mighty V8

@@frespe8230 Nah it was an '07, and I took very good care of it.
You would think SOMEONE would make a balance shaft delete for this motor, especially since it is a major reliability problem.
It's not garbage, it's crap.
We love our S80 V8. But it's original...it still sounds good.
It sounds angry and refined, perfect
Euro v8’s are just amazing
agree but this v8 is made by yamaha
Volvo is Best car
Musím souhlasit 😎

I love my Xc90 V8 4.4❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When volvo made serius cars .
sounds better than some american v8
All you need is a balance shaft delete and a custom bellhousing for a T56, and you have one GREAT swapping engine.
All we have now is 4 cylinders and the environmental disaster called EVs
Right
If i dont hear that car when it accelerates I think it's dodge challenger srt.
If only they didn’t cheap out on the gearbox...and made it RWD-bias-AWD.
Still nice car with lovely sound. 👍
Yeah the gearbox isent the best. But it has much more too do with the lack of service they get. And i dont know about the bias, after 5 month of ownership my rear tires have half the thread left
@@TheLemonBird Yeah I’ve seen snow drift videos of those S80 V8s and they do seem to send a lot of power to the rear once the front loses traction. 👌

@@zacharybinx7402 so the 4.4 XC90 have a 60/40 split?
@@zacharybinx7402 interesting stuff mate
love it!
🔥
What is the slight whistling i hear at idle? My s80 v8 does this too and I can't figure it out...
Volvo’s do that
Alternator
Yamaha engine technology.
Designed and conceived by Volvo
VOLVO..V8...
Titanium +Chanell 5
sounds like a broken muffler
Роскошный звук именно на s80
