Indeed. Though the Volvo, being allowed a smaller bore and longer stroke than everyone else -- better suited to low rpm, seemed to be instantly producing the required power, and combined with the smaller size of the Volvo S60 (i.e., less drag)... Was the Volvo actually the fastest car in a straight line?
