The most advanced Volvos in the World are for sale. As raced in the SPEED
World Challenge GT series by legendary driver Derek Bell and ex-series
champion Michael Galati. These cars come with a full spares package of
engine, transmission, suspension, body, electronics, and too many parts to
list. The cars are fully developed and extremely competitive (only 0.1 off
the fastest lap at Denver).

Serious inquiries only. Please contact

Yup, pretty much says it all right here that Volvo Racing is no more. So sad, they had so much potential.

[Playboy]

wow, thats sad.

How much are those things going to go for?

I guess they are scraping the program b/c of the lack of success they had the past few years??

It's sad that such a new team is being dismantled. I was able to meet with the team twice when they came through Sebring Fl and was not impressed with there people skills.

Whoa, are you saying that Volvospeed bought these cars?

Just helping a friend.

You mean like a former pro diver who is currently building cars and is factory backed? No wait we tried that. The problem here was not lack of knowledge of sponsorship. It was lack of a sponsor finishing what they agreed to.

I didn't mean it like that. I know At speed knew what they were doing and I do agree that Volvo decision to pull out had a horrible effect on the program which in the end killed it. I've been in motorsports my whole life, and have seen situations like this and always think it sucks. So maybe I typed it in the wrong manner. I pledged my support to atspeed to make to Laguna, and I just think it plain sucks that this is why the program has been scrapped.

I just hope that whom ever picks up the cars has success with them.

I'd like to see those fenders moulded into a public available wide-body kit. That would be awesome!!!

[BlackT5]

Throw a price at us Chuck

[Volvokiller]

You can't afford them. Last I heard they were looking to sell everytihng as a package. Somewhere in the $500k range for everything. These are full blown racecars people. I've stood next to them, my friend sat in Derek Bells car, the header on these cars cost more than I bought my S70 for.

Throw a price at us Chuck

24k in graphite, probably around 10k in glass and kevlar

[narxs70]
