Unnecessary speed gain
The chance that you are short of power with Volvo’s 455 hp plug-in hybrid T8 powertrain seems extremely small to us. Yet there is always room for more. The power of the Volvo S60, V60, XC60, S90, V90 and XC90 in which the T8 powertrain is located can easily be boosted to no less than 500 hp.
Volvo’s most powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain has been called the ‘T8’ for years. It currently consists of a 310 hp and 400 Nm strong 2.0 four-cylinder petrol engine that works together with an electric heart of 145 hp and 309 Nm, which operates the rear wheels. A Volvo V60 thunders to 100 km / h in just 4.6 seconds and the rest of the models of the 60 series and those of the 90 series are also fast as water.
The Volvo devotees of the German Heico Sportiv are more than happy to click their Hecio Sportiv e.motion module into your Volvo T8, a rewritten engine management system that boosts the system power to 500 hp and 765 Nm. According to Heico Sportiv, an XC60 T8 with its extra muscle power stamps 0.8 seconds faster to 100 km / h and the intermediate sprint from 80 km / h to 160 km / h takes no less than two whole seconds shorter. Relevant? No. Really nice? That’s it!
