This 3000-HP Volvo Sedan Has a 10.3-Liter V-8 With Four Turbos and a Supercharger
This car is the definition of "over the top." It's a 1992 Volvo 960 that's been transformed into a drag strip-ready missile, equipped with a massive 10.3-liter V-8 rocking a supercharger and four (!) turbochargers. The best part? It's for sale right now on eBay Motors.
According to the seller's description, the car was put together last year, and runs on a Megasquirt ECU with an MSD injection system. The engine is a 632 cubic-inch big-block Chevy motor built by Dart Racing, running four XS Power turbochargers on 27 pounds of boost into a TBS supercharger. Cooling is handled by two electric water pumps, two fans, and two radiators. The car runs on 116-octane race gas, which is kept in the 20-gallon fuel cell mounted in the trunk.
According to Engine Swap Depot, the car makes 3000 horsepower and 3144 lb-ft of torque, which is a bit absurd. It sends thrust to the rear wheels via a 4L85e automatic transmission. Much of the dash has been swapped out for a custom setup, but hilariously, the factory gear lever, seats, and steering wheel have been retained. Here's what it sounds like on startup:
The car is currently up for bidding on eBay in Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania with a high bid of $10,100 and one day remaining. We're betting a lot of money went into this build, so expect that price to shoot up before the auction comes to a close. If you're the type of person who's actually considering buying this thing and driving it around, we salute you. Maybe invest in some safety equipment, though?
