NEW RELEASES |
You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released. |
The number forty-three in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 855 T5R from 1995. I'm convinced that most are pretty glad that this model made it into the Volvo Collection. I don't think that I need to present this emblematic Volvo model to the fans which most of you certainly are. Volvo's marketing gag to let run a station wagon in the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) resulted a year later in this pretty fast road car. The 850 T5R was in fact a fully loaded T5 version which featured every possible option Volvo offered at that time. But that was not the complete deal. The T5R versions came with a couple more options as well as a slightly modified front and rear end. These cars were also closer to the asphalt and had an even more powerful 5-cylinder engine. Each car came with exclusive and great looking anthracite colored 17'' rims called Titan. I can remember myself that the only possible option for Luxembourg was the automatic gearbox for nearly 2000 € back in 1995. The Volvo 855 T5R has even today - nearly 20 years after its debut - a very big fan community all over the world.

The rear roof spoiler was one of the very few available options.

I have never ever seen a T5-R without a spoiler and absolutely not here in Sweden. Its looks much better with the spoiler on :(

I agree that's much better with it, but as the model already exist in this scale and that was originally deliver without we made this choice.
