Guy Martin, TV host and racing driver, claimed that his 1967 Volvo was the fastest car in the UK.
Express.co.uk reports that Martin, 32, bought the gray Volvo Amazon after looking at a photo of it. He has only two cars: the Volvo, which is used for special occasions, and the Ford Transit, which is his daily ride.
The Swedish-tuned station wagon is powered by a modified turbocharged 2.8-liter engine. However, there are no current details. Martin claims that the wagon can sprint from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h), and can reach a maximum speed of 205 miles (322 km/h).
It looks like a Volvo but it is faster than any Ferrari, Porsche, or Bugatti. It is flawless – it is the most well-built and beautifully finished car in the entire world. It was perfect, and I immediately took it to the UK to take it for a spin near my home in Grimsby. It is terrifying. He says, “You have to keep the line straight.”
The Volvo comes with red leather racing seats, a modified dashboard and modified dashboard. This is Amazon’s more sporty Volvo P1800. Martin states that it is not only the engine that has been modified, but the whole car has been pimped out and engineered. It’s mega.”
