Amazing driving skills. But God knows I am always so scared at how close people are to the course. I mean, any accident where one of those cars hits someone can easily be fatal.
No it isn't, you clearly don't know about the 240 then. It was design to have a huge front crumple zone where the engine and transmission would shoot out under the car to prevent driver injury. They were so safe that the government used them to set safety standards for cars. Furthermore these cars have racing harnesses and seats, full roll cages, a racing wheel and the driver has a helmet on along with hand device. Therefore, no it is not safer to crash in a modern car than in a race spec Volvo 240
@@MentalRetard74 agreed, race spec 240s are still some pf the safest cars out there when it comes to crashes, full steel body can still take a beating by itself (rolled in one some years ago) just rolled it back over and continued driving 🤷🏼♂️
Swedes: Go rallying in the '50s-'60s Volvo: develops a bunch of new safety features and fits them on the 240, announces the cars engine bay is a bit bigger because they engineered crumple zones into the frame. Swedes: "Sweet! Space for a turbo... or two."
Given how little it changed over it's production run, it's going to be 5 decades since the first ones rolled out of the factory in a few years. It's a half-century old design now. Still kicks ass
I miss my 1985 240...and all the RWD Volvos from back in the day. Makes me sad that we can't even get decent old Volvos in the states anymore. Meanwhile in Sweden they're tearing them up in rally races.
Clapping...why were they clapping? clapping is so strange yet nobody addresses it..why do people put their hands together to make noise when they like something..who started that shit? in this case they were just clapping for themselves cuz the car that almost flipped was gone..so whats going on here

These tough pieces of steel and fury could easily win a tank biathlon event if codrivers were allowed to carry a weapon.
240 one love.

Crumple zones save lives by absorbing impact. Its much more dangerous to crash in this, than a modern car

Real men do n/a builds!
Were do they get all those coups from ?

When you make a sedan so kick ass that’s it’s being used in rallies over 2 decades later
Given how little it changed over it's production run, it's going to be 5 decades since the first ones rolled out of the factory in a few years. It's a half-century old design now. Still kicks ass
@@DrCowinabox You’d be hard pressed to stop an old Volvo for long
What kind if builds do these have engine wise
Most of them probably have a V8 like an LS.
No…They are 4 cyl with mods.
Bro you have no idea what you are talking Abt. Comment under you is right. 2.0L 4cyl. WRac uses 1.6 but those are hard to come by
you can make 300-350 hp in n/a redblocks.
are most of these turbo?

Hard to know everyone is modded differently and driving differently and these car dont go 100km in 1 go
