- ►In Season 2, Jacob and the 850 return to take a proven concept and build on it, creating the ultimate track wagon. Removing a ton of weight from the interior, adding chassis stiffness and motorsport-grade safety equipment, upgrading the braking artillery, and turning the 2.4 RN into a fire-breathing BTCC monster, Jacob and his Volvo set out to create the sights, smells, and sounds of British Touring Car in the 1990s.
Following a full season of building up his $850 Volvo 850, Jacob and the wagon hit the FCP Euro Proving Grounds to shake down "The 850 Project" for the first time, before heading back to the drawing board to make it even faster. How will it fare? Tune into the rest of Season 2 of "The 850 Project" and watch the 850 and Jacob's driving "level up!"

I love the transition from the 850 being a grandmas car and peeling tires to trying to throw you out of the seat it shows how much suspension tires and brakes+ a proper alignment can really do for a car
People really sleep on the basics sometimes!
Thank you so much for doing this! The Volvo 850 R Estate is one of my favorite cars of all time and I still dream of owning one one of these days.
Didnt watch all the episodes and im digging this compilation. Also what a great squad! We gotta see more Nate on the channel
The fastest thing I have seen driven hard on public roads is the 850 R estate.
That intro thoooo ❤️🔥❤️🔥
The team had fun on that one haha
Loved the project! It was filled with technical content, humor, and hope. Thanks for the great summary video.
Our pleasure - part to drops this Sunday! It gets REAL JUICY
Been waiting for this!
can u guys do a B5 Audi BTCC build please.
yeses
We can certainly try 🙂
@@fcpeuro-media you will get more audience than the Volvo for sure. Better yet, i have a 99.5 Volcano black B5 1.8T for sale. It comes with Garrett GT28RS, 630cc injectors, V8 maf, fmic, snow performance meth, unitronics tuned, bilstein coils, porsche brakes, lots of 034 goodies...etc. Is a very good base to build on :)
❤
Tom Walkinshaw would be proud.
We can only hope...
I thought this car was already finished ? Is this a repost
Hey Chad - ya we've been reuploading compiled versions of our past builds to our new Media Channel here, we've separated out our DIY Channel and this one recently. Sorry for any confusion!
