1999 Volvo S40 BTCC Race Car - Start Up, Fly Bys & N/A 5-Cylinder Engine Sound!

Two weeks ago I went to a little racetrack near Modena, in Italy, and I saw this beautiful 1999 Volvo S40 race car which was used in 1999 by Rickard Rydell in order to race in the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship). In the following 3 years (2000-2001-2002) it was used in the STCC (Swedish Touring Car Championship).

The car is moved by a 2 liter 5 cylinders engine with a power of 300 bhp @ 8500 rpm.

This sounds incredible! What a sound. Love 5cyl engines, Volvo make fine ones indeed!

[MarkMeadows]

Gotta love that unique sound a 5 cylinder makes. Just like a V10, but higher RPMs.

[grosano]

It reminds me the V10 F1! Great sound!

[MiniOne]

best looking and sounding Super Touring car ever

[stefantornqvist]

I love the sound and the cars. I worked on these cars in 2000 in stcc on Mattias Ekström car. 3 chassis was built in 1999. 1 car left in Sweden with Janne Flash Nilsson.

I remember the sound of this car when I was a kid and every time it went past me it gave me goosebumps.. what music!

[MiguelGLD]

Now THAT is a touring car! One of the many incredible things Tom Walkinshaw ever did. Motorsports is missing him, and people like him

[Bob-nuxe]

I recently purchased a 5 cylinder Volvo, the sound was worth the money alone, its warble is uncommon on the roads and highly entertaining when let off the leash.

[VVantage]

Reminds me of the old F1 & Group C cars. Awesome.

[bobbieeeee]

I've been waiting for somebody to upload a high quality video of how this car sounds for years. Thank you!

[FoxPopvli]

my fav car from ToCa2 back in my childhood :')

This is bad ass! Just found this. I have a 1/10 RC replica body of this exact car. I have all the same sponsor stickers except for the paint job. I decided to paint the body purple and actually looks much cooler. Thanks for sharing.

[Rickard]

0:50 just look at the difference between front and rear. You've got to love the older ones when the fronts was well tucked in under the front fender

[yesthisisrp]

that's the find of the year! beautiful car!

[Richardinho]

I have a framed picture of A3 format of this car (but it was the nr1 car from Rydell) Love the old BTCC championship

[Shenmoki]

holy hell. that's awesome! i wish i was alive when these cars raced... now im stuck watching slow chevy cruzes and seat cupras that crash all the time and sound like crap.

[mike]
