The words “Sweden” and “turbo” are generally associated with Saab when used in the same sentence. However, Volvo jumped on the ever-crowded forced-induction bandwagon in 1981 when it introduced a turbocharged version of the 240 that offered motorists 155 horses under the skinny pedal. The sedan was capable of sprinting to 62 mph from a stop in nine seconds flat, and it reached a top speed of 121.
