Six-door Volvo S80
Stretched by more than one meter
An interesting six-door Volvo S80 limousine was spotted
recently by a reader of Pro-Street.dk.
With an S90
right around the corner, the S80 is on its way to a well-deserved retirement but
nevertheless there are still many people fans of the outgoing model's classic
design which doesn't look half bad on this six-door conversion. We did a little
bit of digging and managed to find out it was made by limousine specialist Nilsson
from Sweden and the vehicle is 1340 mm longer than a standard S80. This is a
six-door conversion, but they are also offering a stretched S80 with a
four-door layout.
The six-door Volvo
S80 by Nilsson Special Vehicles is 6191 mm
long, 2106 mm wide and 1510 tall, with a 4175 mm wheelbase and a 2,743
kg weight
for the T6-powered engine while the D5 diesel version tips the scales at
2,840
kg. We checked their website and found out these engines are mated to
Volvo's
Geartronic six-speed automatic gearboxes, but they say the vehicle does
not
meet the European emission requirements. However, maybe the website has
not
been updated in a while and the car might have road-legal status by now.
As you
would expect from a coach-built limousine, optional armoring is
available and in this case there's a maximum B4 ballistic protection
level offered.
The four-door version has the exact same specifications, but
on the inside the second and third rows of seats don't face each other as they
do on the six-door model. Needless to say, there's a long list of optional
equipment ranging from electric seats to flag poles and intercom.
