It consists of the turbocharging modification with the changing of a turbocompressor for a bigger one, off-setting a bigger air cooler together with the new exhaust emission system which is ended by two oval exhaust endings. The output of a new engine was increased from the initial 300 hp (221 kW) to 408 hp (300 kW). Volvo has a four-wheels drive with the assistence of a six-speed automatic gearbox model XC90 V8, with the multi-disk clutch Haldex. The brakes became better with this output.
