I know a bloke, actually quite good old pal of mine in the Devonshire area who is with Volvo Cars UK, and he advised me that Volvo appears to be having problems with their new Yamaha V8 engine and transmission. I inquired about the availability of the new V8, and this may be a real struggle for Volvo to get onto the marketplace, and they are being tight lipped about it. I think they have durability issues they are sorting out. The availability of this motor and a new transmission in UK may be quite some time off, as this package appears to be intended for the gas guzzling Yank Tank market.
I realise this is a 4x4 forum, however I wish to obtain information about the motor development, and wondered if anyone here is in the know.
