Rauh Racing

What was the opposite of a Twingo in the 90s?
Probably a massive, turbocharged Swedish brick 🧱

Meet the newest addition to the RauhRacing brothers: a 1997 Volvo V70R!

There was always going to be another Volvo in our lives. Dad raised us around them, from his 740 Turbo back in the late 90s to his 2nd Gen V70 that he still owns as the first owner. Bringing this V70R home just completes the circle.

The spec on this car is almost impossible to find. It is a FWD manual with the factory limited-slip differential. Based on production numbers and registry data, roughly 35 of this configuration remain in Germany, and with Coral Red making up just 5% of production, statistically this is the last surviving example in the country. 😳

Just looks so good on the 17 inch Satellite wheels, the predecessor to the famous Pegasus wheels of the 2nd gen R.

It’s a well-used car, far from a garage queen. 320,000 km on the odometer, original paint with scuffs and clear coat coming off in some places. It also wouldn’t be on brand for us if everything was going smoothly: Right now, it has major oil and turbo issues, likely caused by a head rebuild the dealer carried out as part of the deal. It is a warranty job that will take a few weeks to sort out.💅

The journey starts with some patience, but we will have this meatball running right very soon and let you indulge in the 5 cylinder glory from days long forgotten!

If your car never stranded you, are you even driving it? Guess the mystery car on the last slide! 👀
