The Volvo driver was not jumping the start. The driver in the Porsche was a guest driver with his private car, because I didn't have ability to borrow Porsche at this time. He had slower reaction because it was his first time drag racing and had never used launch control before. But instead of deleting the footage I decided to upload it anyway. :)

A Volvo v90 beating a panamera wasn’t something I expected to see today

[leod]

Looks more like the Volvo is jump starting or the Porsche driver has slow reaction. In both runs

[thomasholdsworth]

I had a 2023 XC60 T8 recently for 7 days and was incredibly surprised what an accomplished all round package it was. The performance was also a big shock! Just a shame about the 112mph speed limiter from factory.

[dakalla]

Both times the Volvo jump started before the Porsche. Second run was actually 22 frames ahead. Thats around 0, 4seconds. Quite a lot in a short race like this. And the Porsche didn't use launch control (you have to be in Sport+ mode), not even holding Revs at start. The Volvo Driver did "hold" revs, actually he even moved before as he probably didn't press the brake hard enough. So in total it's not a good comparison, i guess the porsche would have won quite easily, if compared properly.

[SlesarjGinekolog]

Wow! Amazing!
Imagine if the driver of the Panamera not just overslept the start, but didn’t go at all! The result would be simply stunning! 😂

[johannmoser]

feine sache :-) habe denn v60 r design und der geht schon ziemlich gut

[Tommere]

You should try several runs and post even starts. The Volvo is jumping both times and that gives him a huge advantage. The second run you can see the Porsche is the fastest car. That said…..T8s are fast…

[ukgroucho]

The Volvo probably lost out on the top speed limiter of 112 mph there. I have a T8 XC60. I'm pretty sure that at 'normal' road speed (overtaking etc) it is faster than my previous Maserati Levante S - certainly it's 0 - 60 MPH is faster but I also think the 30 - 70 MPH dash (overtaking or joining a fast road) is faster. Where the Maserati had it was the ability to keep running to stupid speeds. Not really relevant for every day driving. And the fuel consumption difference is stark. The Volvo is EASILY half or 2.5 times less fuel in everyday driving. It's a supercar with a very frugal appetite. Handling? I think the Maserati was a bit more balanced but for real world driving the Volvo is more than adequate.

На сколько porshe дороже Вольво ? И сколько обслуживание и содержание Porshe ?
Для семейного Volvo достойный результат 💪💪

[thomasvgorp]

If you look at other drag videos the V90 T8 455 does 4, 9s to 100 at its best. The Porsche 4, 3...Don't know what mode the Porsche was in but this is not possible. In comfort the Porsche doesn't launch and shortshifts, so guess that is the case.

[Viscosity-cbxl]

Volvo always underated. Porsche helped engineer the 5 Cylinder Volvos back in the 90s

[kengrun]

It’s wild that this 455 hp T8 drivetrain in the Volvo can be had for just $58k in Canada (-45K USD) as a base model S60 Recharge.

I'm seeing a lot of comments about speed limited SUV, when this video is about wagons. Just to put the record straight, my 2018 S90 T5 sedan does at least 174mph on the dash with no cut out. Pretty nice for a heavy 4cylinder turbo. Surprised a lot of US made muscle cars when they can't accelerate over 150 MPH.

[Alberts_Kviesis]

Panamera had slower reaction to pedal and acceleration. Or the Volvo did too fast start on both videos..

[easylife]

People who said that the Volvo jumped on the start. I agree. But even that it still very very good comparing to a Porsche Panamera so maybe at least it is something close for a Volvo hiding beast. Love that Volvo.

[clutched]

Please do F39 BMW X2 25e!!

It supposed to do 0-100km/h in 6.8 but I measured 5.5!

[mathias]

I am thinking of the Volvo V60 with this T8 engine instead, it is a bit lighter, smaller wagon but with the same engine, should be a lot of fun with a stage tune kit on it to boost up the power even more. They are starting to get cheaper to buy used with pretty low mileage nowadays as well.

[fellekillen]

Det suger verkligen att de är så envisa på Volvo med att begränsa bilens kapacitet. Både var gällande den sänkta hastighetsgränsen och möjligheten att stänga av ESC helt.

[dimitarvladimirov]

Drive myself V90 R-Design Polestar D4 😊 i going to change for T8 TwEn for sure in near future 😅 i love that car
