If you’re looking for a cheap S60R, this isn’t the one. If you’re looking for one the cleanest and most well sorted modified P2R’s on the market today, this is one to consider. I currently have multiple cars, so listing my P2R for sale. The car was involved in an accident back in ‘09 and carries a rebuilt title but you’d never know if you saw the car in person or drove it. It was originally Black on Nordkap (Blue) but it was repainted my dream spec - Sonic Blue on Atacama (Orange) w/ M66...
Our Take:
- Volvo’s Performance Secret: The 2004 Volvo S60 R is part of Volvo’s famed P2 platform and represents the brand's leap into the high-performance sedan market. With a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five engine churning out 300 horsepower, it was quite the sleeper—offering a surprising amount of power for a Volvo, which is often associated with safety and practicality. It was a car that made enthusiasts grin without losing the essence of Swedish sensibility.
- Manual Transmission Rarity: Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission (the M66 6MT), this S60 R is a gem for purists. Manual versions were less common than their automatic counterparts, making them especially sought-after by those who love the direct connection that only a stick shift can deliver. This transmission, paired with Volvo’s advanced all-wheel-drive system, made the S60 R a serious competitor against its European rivals.
- Unique Aesthetic Flair: The original black on Nordkap blue interior has been swapped for a striking Sonic Blue exterior paired with Atacama orange leather inside. This color combo was as rare as a unicorn at the time, giving the car a unique presence that modern car wraps often try to emulate. Even if it does have a rebuilt title, this level of customization can be more appealing than the origin story might suggest.
- Well-Loved and Cared For: This S60 R has obviously seen some love and care, not just by the current owner, but by previous enthusiasts too. Being garage kept and trickle charged hints at a passion for maintaining the car’s peak condition—quite a contrast to many modified cars that suffer from neglect. Although the sunroof is on strike, the overall condition tells a tale of devotion that's hard to come by, especially for a two-decade-old performance sedan.
