Volvo S60R it has AWD the Turbo 5 that produces 300hp and a sports mode that changes suspension settings and a clever traction control system

obviously i don't think its gonna corner as fast as the Audi but the R will be fast all the same

Volvo needs to lower the center of gravity of their cars loose some weight and reposition the engine so as to achieve a close 50/50 blance
possibly 48/52 with just balance being the main factor then focus on utilising Computer Aided systems to make the car faster still

Subaru uses total overall balance
Mitsubishi uses computer controlled systems

since volvo won't be able to have nearly as good computer control systems a mix of the two would produce a seriously Agressive Quick responsive car that would put the M3 to shame

I'd also like them to use the S80's inline six twin turbo instead and boost it to 350 - 380 hp to make it have some meat,

Lets suppose they make a S60 i would like them to use these sort of parts

Although they'd still have to maintain volvo's safe car image. :o But Ford'll screw that up
