Roughly a year ago I took some pictures of a BTCC 850 which was bought by a company in my area.

Last week I took a few more detailed pictures of the cabin,

so thats what a real carbon fiber dash looks like?

by the way, does that car still have AC? I'm guessing no, but why didn't they take it out of the center console?

The 850 BTCC --- inspired so many, really took Volvo to the next level and made the "R" and "T5" possible. Without it, I doubt Volvo would be where it is today, image and performance wise.

Thanks for the images, they're the first clear pix I've seen of the 850 by someone photographing in person. I have the annual Volvo calendar with the Volvo on 3 wheels etc going through the S High Speed Turns, etc.

I also want to add that such products as the ill OHLINS reservoir suspension and front strut bar that is out there to the public - that's directly from R&D with the 850 BTCC ... and for a company to release that, it is appreciated by its enthusiast owners!!!

Looks like it. Probably powering something, like dry sump oil pump. Just a guess though.
