Earlier, we told you that Volvo announced E85 versions of the S40, V50 and C30; now, it appears that the S60, V70 and S80 will all be available with E85-capable four-cylinder engines in Europe.
E85 has really taken off in Sweden, where Saab beat Volvo to market with an E85 version of its 9-5. Now Volvo is done playing catch-up by offering E85 capability for its entire line of cars. A 2.0 liter 145-horspower four cylinder and a 2.5 liter 200-horsepower four cylinder join a 1.8 liter 125-horsepower four in offering E85. The 2.0 and 2.5 will be available on the S60, V70 and S80. Volvo adapted existing engines to be capable of handling E85.
No word on North American sales.
