The boxy Volvo 240 Turbo was a genuine racer — in 1984 it won the Zolder round of the European Touring Car Championship, hitting around 260 km/h at circuits like Monza and Bathurst.
Bertone's 262C coupe wasn't just restyled — its roof was chopped 2.25 inches shorter than the regular 242's, with a more raked windscreen to match.
Volvo kept building it through the 1980s even after deciding to kill it, then gave it 160 fixes for 1992 anyway.
