Volvo co-build with Renault (who use it in the R11 and R21) and which also appears in Volvo’s 300 series. For the 480 though, it’s gained multi- point fuel injection and Bosch engine management electronics. Power has risen to 109bhp at 5800rpm (up from the 81bhp of the carburettor version) with torque of 103lb ft peaking at 4000rpm. This high compression ‘low friction’ engine sits transversely between the front driving wheels, mounted in unit with a five-speed transaxle on a detachable subframe. Later, sometime in 1987, Volvo proraise an automatic option for the 480 along with a more powerful 1.7 turbo version offering 125bhp - and also anti lock brakes. As tested, the 480 ran with four wheel disc braking.
