The cost of developing a TCR volvo would be nowhere near the cost of developing the WTCC Volvo.

Just a thought...
Instead of running 2 F1 cars Ferrari could sell 30 cars if they start their own single seater championship...Selling customer cars is not the reason why Volvo, Honda, etc are involved in WTCC.

But okay maybe STCC is a reason why Volvo would develop a TCR car.
