Default Turbocharged Volvo

Well, it said turbo somewhere on it. You can't make it out because of my dirty windshield and crappy camera phone. Anybody know what this model is?

Looks like a P1800, which to my knowledge were never turbo charged from the factory.

The title isn't clear, my friend's mom owns a Volvo 944 which is turbocharged. At least say 'special Volvo'

Yes, that's definitely a P1800, there were just 39.407 units built so it's quite a rare car, but not as rare as the P1800ES which was a sports wagon which has been built just 8.077 times (one of the sports wagons drives around here).

Regarding that specimen: chrome rims and writings on the side? It's a shame to rice up such a beautiful car... images/smilies/cry.gif

It's thirty nine thousand four hundred and seven units images/smilies/smile.gif Remember some countries use different delimeters.

That is a very nice looking car, not sure about writing on the side and chrome rims but the car has nice presence to it.

I don't think so. Certain countries use a comma for separating thousands while others use a period.
