Following on the heels of last year's Volvo S60 R SEMA dream cars, Evolve has once again created a masterpiece of design and engineering, this time in the shape of the exciting new S40 sport sedan. Extensively modified with a larger turbo that has also been repositioned away from the intake manifold where it resides in the stock car, the Evolve S40 puts out an estimated 425 horsepower to all four wheels via Volvo's Haldex electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system.

Outside, the Evolve S40's custom Silver and Titanium metallic paint treatment and tastefully crafted body kit attract attention from those "in the know." Ultra high performance tires envelope 19-inch lightweight wheels that openly display the incredible 15-inch disc brakes and 8-piston aluminum brake calipers.

I can't see the intake manifold but I do see the exhaust manifold.

oh yeah.......the rear camber is so bad the edge of the tire tread doesn't even touch the ground.

Yeah...I guess it's a personal preference thing...but I can't stand that!

Other than that though...that's one HOT Volvo!

I'm definately not a Volvo fan, but that is one hot car :cool: . Talk about radical camber, you'd never even get 15k miles outta those tires, ouch!

I can't get 15k miles out of a tire that has good camber. "usuk:

Definitely a pimp looking car.

Saves your ass if the rear end kicks out around a turn on uneven surfaces
