Volvo 850 History
The Volvo 850 (1992-97) was a replacement for the older 200, 700 and 900 series. When released in 1992 it was built for a 1993 model for the US market, where it was the first front wheel drive car to go on sale there. The 850 was the best selling Volvo car in the mid-nineties and the sportier versions of this car could get up to 150mph. The 850 was the first ever car to use side-impact airbags, and had some great safety features, now famous with Volvo. The saloon version of this car was renamed as the S70 and the estate version was renamed the V70 for the 1998 model year.
