Certainly was, and not even all that tuned - approx 170bhp (1.4litre, 8valves, OHV, single carb engine designed in the 70's by volvo to run diesel in a small tractor...) Even with that relatively "small" amount of power it would spin it's wheels in third! Std was 0-62 in 7.2 in '89, mine was clocked at 6.1! Awesome car

Sure did. Was based on the phase 1 version. Believe it was a mid engined V6 turbo from the Feugo (or whatever it was called) developed for homogolation of group B rally cars? Not many built and even less around now
