Volvo S80 2005: Volvo’s Flagship Luxury Sedan, Versatile Volvo Auto Parts, Performance Parts, and Re
By Jenny McLane
The S80 offers luxury, interior comfort and a stylish body. The
suspension is highly sophisticated. It offers a smooth ride and
feels extremely stable on the highway. Moreover, Volvo’s safety
engineering leads the auto industry. The S80 contains standard
amenities such as a rear DVD entertainment system, heated front
seats, an interior air quality system, available metallic
exterior paint, infrared reflective windshield, and rain-sensing
wipers. Exclusively available on the T6 Premier is the optional
integrated rear refrigerator, which includes a shelf compartment
and four glasses. Standard features available are fog lights,
Four-C Chassis, and bi-Xenon headlights. A new Sport Package is
available for the 2.5T and 2.5T AWD, which includes sport seats,
a five-speed automatic transmission, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Safety is what Volvo is known for, and the S80 reaches new
levels. With side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags,
anti-whiplash seats, as well as a sophisticated steel structure
that’s computer designed around crash-resistance, the S80
achieves the coveted 5-star crash-test rating in front and side
collisions, as well as a 5-star rollover-resistance rating.
Contemporary Volvos are sleek, and the S80 led that Swedish
revolution applied to the rest of the Volvo line, even to the
best-selling XC90 sport-utility vehicle. The S80 has soft lines
with a gently sloping hood, steeply raked windscreen, slightly
bowed roofline and coupe-like rear window.
Flared wheel wells gently wrap the striking alloy wheels. Its
2.5-liter five-cylinder engine is a good workhorse and it is
very quick. Fitted with an intercooled turbocharger, the 2.5T
makes 208 horsepower but feels like more, with 236 pound-feet of
torque available at a low 1500 rpm. The speed-sensitive
rack-and-pinion steering gives the S80 a light touch and a
steadiness in the curves. In addition to all-wheel drive, the
2.5T AWD comes with Volvo’s Dynamic Stability and Traction
Control, one of the most sophisticated electronic stability
control systems around.
The front-wheel-drive T6 comes with Volvo’s new Four-C system
(Continuous Controlled Chassis Concept), which monitors speed,
acceleration and other dynamic forces and then adjusts the
electronically damped hydraulic shock absorbers to provide
either optimal comfort or sport control, depending on the
position the driver selects on a switch mounted on the center
console. The system can adjust the shocks up to 50 times in a
single second. With the S80 Radiator, Volvo made sure it is
environment friendly with a special coating that converts up to
75 percent of the ozone it encounters into oxygen. Partstrain

Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin Comes Into Focus as Parts Train’s Auto Body Parts Supercharge Every Ford V
By Jenny McLane
The Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin is the world’s first
high-performance sport-utility truck (SUT). We’re looking to
take Ford performance to an entirely new market segment with the
Sport Trac Adrenalin,” says Steve Lyons, vice president, Ford
Motor Company and president, Ford Division. “Adrenalin is
designed to offer a unique combination of performance and
functionality.
Adrenalin has combined the best attributes of two breakthrough
Ford vehicles – Ford SVT F-150 Lightning and Ford Explorer Sport
Trac. It also offers class-leading technologies, including
all-wheel drive, a six-speed automatic transmission and Ford’s
industry-leading AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™. It
offers four full-sized doors, four bolstered bucket seats, and a
four-foot composite box with 30 percent more cargo capacity than
the current Explorer Sport Trac.
“We have a very clear view of what we want to do to retain
Ford’s leadership in performance vehicles,” says Phil Martens
group vice president, Product Creation. “This includes looking
beyond traditional SVT products for opportunities with unique
performance attributes, such as all-wheel-drive.” The Sport Trac
Adrenalin delivers searing acceleration with its 4.6-liter,
32-valve DOHC V-8 power train. A Roots-type supercharger and
water-to-air intercooler boost output to a whopping 390
horsepower and 390 pounds-feet of torque.
It has a six-speed automatic transmission – the first for any
SVT vehicle, which has proven capable of heavy-duty use,
contributing to the projected 6000-pound towing capacities of
the Sport Trac Adrenalin. “In addition to providing sure footing
on slick surfaces, there’s a performance advantage to all-wheel
drive,” says Jay O’Connell, SVT chief vehicle engineer. “A
longstanding problem with performance trucks was their inability
to ‘hook up’ from a standing start without excessive wheel spin.
This AWD system puts power down through all four tires, helping
Adrenalin launch with impressive authority.”
With a supercharged, 390-horsepower V-8, the first six-speed
automatic ever featured in an SVT vehicle and an SVT-tuned fully
independent suspension, Adrenalin promises acceleration, agility
and utility. Providing an added measure of safety and control
during slippery conditions or emergency maneuvers
all-wheel-drive system is paired with Ford’s industry-exclusive
safety system, AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™.
All these advanced technology in Ford vehicles are maintained to
its highest performance level by Parts Train body parts,
Replacement Parts, Performance Parts, Aftermarket Parts. Buy top
