Volvo killed the hot V70R outright when this generation launched — what replaced it was just an R-Design trim, looks only, no extra power.
Volvo's own design director joked about the second-gen V70's shape: "the front end of a Jaguar E-Type married to the back end of a Ford Transit van" — a wagon pulling in two very different directions.
The 2000 V70 R quietly set a Volvo first: it was the first Volvo ever to wear a dual-outlet exhaust as standard equipment, with the rear bumper reshaped to fit it.
