\"1983<\/a><\/p>\n

Steffen Tveite from Tveite Motorsport<\/a> built a 1983 Volvo 740 for drifting in Norway. The car is powered by a turbocharged 2.5 L Volvo inline-five featuring forged internals, PPE exhaust manifold, and a BorgWarner turbocharger. The motor produces 820 hp (603 kW) and 940 Nm (693 lb-ft) of torque to wheels on E85 fuel. Behind that is a modified bellhousing to a Gearmotive ZF dogbox transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford 8.8-inch rear end and Moser 35-spline axles. <\/p>\n
