'Boost' Volvo 242



I know nothing about this Swedish 242 besides what is obvious from the photos: big slick-shod wheels hiding big brakes, beefy rollcage, racy suspension setup and, judging by its nickname, probably a whacking great turbo under the bonnet - from the bottom pic, it could be a T5 lump with a turbo and a supercharger.
Who'd have thought an eighties Volvo three-box could look so credible on track*... and so menacing?










*yes, I'm excluding Touring Cars from this sweeping statement.
