2135:(1983): 500 "Evolution" models were built to satisfy production requirements to qualify for the FIA's International Group A touring car racing. The homologation process, intended to make the car competitive with the Jaguar XKS and BMW 635s coupés, was controversial because VMS (Volvo Motor Sport) elected to convert 500 designated cars simultaneously in the United States rather than directly on the European assembly lines. Once inspected by the FIA in the US, the assembled 500 Evolution cars would be stripped of the Evolution kit parts and sold across America. For the sake of clarity all 500 of these cars had sunroofs, and none were ever shipped back to VMS to be built up into Group A race cars. Only the Swedish-built 240 DL body shells were used because they were did not have the undesirable sunroof cutout. VMS realized that there was a loophole in the FIA regulations at that time which did not require that the "Evolution" cars be sold to the public, but merely built and inspected prior to being granted homologation status. Hence the controversy that followed the success of the factory cars when they won the European Touring Car Championship in 1985 and would have won again in 1986, but for a fuel irregularity at one race meeting. This fuel incident also resulted in the board of directors withdrawing from factory supported GpA racing programs. Due to constraints there was insufficient time to install the Evolution components in the 500 designated 240 Turbo cars as they went down the assembly lines in Belgium (save only for the fitting of the European market only flat-nose bonnet and matching grille) and so a decision was made to stow each car's Evolution component kit into the trunks of each of the designated cars before they were shipped to the US, and then retro-fit the component in the US. 270 of these cars were sent to Volvo's West Coast facility at Long Island, LA, and the remaining 230 cars were sent to Volvo's East Coast facility at Chesapeake Bay, VA. During a period of three weeks all 500 cars were simultaneously retro-fitted with the Evolution kits. However, immediately following the FIA's random inspection of all 500 "Evolution" cars, the installation teams removed all of the Evolution components with the exception of the uprated intercooler and sold to the public as the first of the new uprated 240 Turbo intercooler cars. One car kept its parts and was sent back to VMS. The intercooler was the same kind as used in the 1983 European 760 Turbo. While no full Evolution cars were ever sold to the public, the remaining 499 flat-nosed cars that were sold to the American public were unique, in as much as they were the only flat-nosed 240 Turbo intercooler cars ever imported into the US. All carry a
2072:(1978–80, until 1981 in Australia): Sport model with tuned sport suspension and a fuel injected engine. All US models were Mystic Silver metallic with black and red racing stripes going from the hood to the side to the trunk. Special black corduroy interior with red stripes. 1980 Canadian models were available in black with red pinstripes along the side of the car, in addition to the US model silver. Only 200 black GTs were made. The model was created as Volvo in the US had enjoyed a sportier image and though Volvo now felt too safe and boring. Due to short time and budget constraints they had to make the most with small means. It used the same B21E (B21F in North America) engine as the GL model but it received ventilated front disc brakes, The chassis was improved with front braces, strengthened stabilizers and 30% harder springs than a regular DL. It changed the car from being prone to understeer to being prone to oversteer, something that was often shown in advertising pictures. 3M had approached Volvo about new stripes that would not fade or get damaged in automatic car washes. All 242GTs came in silver metallic with stripes in black and red-orange. Another design change is that decor that was normally chromed was black and vice versa. It had fog lights in the grille as standard and a front spoiler. For the first time in a Volvo the headliner was black. The seats were in black corduroy with red-orange stripes. The dashboard got a central tachometer. In 1979 it got the new high-compression B23E engine. The majoritry of GT model cars were M46 manual transmission, but some Australian market cars did have a BW55 3-speed automatic transmission swapped into them by the importer.

horsepower number of the automatic B23F (114 SAE net HP) and the higher torque number of the low compression manual B23F (136 foot-pounds of torque). Fuel system was, again, LH-Jetronic, but updated to 2.2, which used a different mass airflow sensor and computers. It also was redesigned to be lower-friction than the earlier B21 and B23 engines with lighter weight connecting rods and pistons that had a shorter skirt. In 1989, the B230F received the Bosch LH-Jetronic version 2.4 fuel injection system, which added OBD-1 onboard diagnostics. The ignition system was similarly updated from the Volvo/Chrysler ignition system that used a Bosch coil and distributor to the Bosch EZK-116K system. Some manual 1990–93 B230F engines used the LH-Jetronic 3.1 system, which used a heated film mass airflow sensor, instead of the usual hot wire sensor.

By 1985 the D6 had replaced the D5 in Finland as well. The D5 was very slow, much slower than the D6 or the Audi 100 with the same five-cylinder engine, reaching 100 km/h from a standing start in 24.4 seconds. The D5 used the same four-speed manual transmission as the D6 but coupled to the lower-geared rear axle also used in 2-litre petrol cars; this meant that fuel consumption figures were only marginally better than those of the larger diesel while noise levels increased noticeably. In Finland, the price difference with the equal six-cylinder diesel was only just over two percent; owners expected to save money by being in much lower tax and insurance brackets.

leading edge to the trunk lid, while the rear of the wagons remained unchanged. The GLE was added while the L was cancelled, and the six-cylinder diesel arrived late in the year. For 1980, the sporty GLT arrived, replacing the GT. For 1981 there was yet another new grille, while the station wagons received new, wraparound taillights. The B21A gained some four horsepower, now 106 PS (78 kW), while the carburetted B23A with 112 PS (82 kW) was introduced in some markets. The Turbo arrived, while six-cylinder models now had a more powerful 2.8-liter engine. 1981 also saw the dashboard altered significantly, which a much larger binnacle in order to bring the radio and clock within the driver's line of sight.

grind camshaft from the B21A engine and switched to the normal B21F style head from the higher performance 405 casting used on the older B23E engines. Compression ratio was bumped up from 10.0:1 to 10.3:1. Horsepower dropped to 115 SAE hp from 136 DIN hp (127 SAE). The B23F used LH-Jetronic system and catalytic converter. All early 1983 B23F engines had the same compression ratio as the 1983 B23E, but, due to
Chrysler ignition system usage, provided only 107 hp. After the switch to a Bosch distributor and coil, horsepower went up to 114 hp for the high compression B23F. In mid-1983, a lower compression B23F was introduced that had less horsepower (111 hp), but more torque (136 ft.lbs versus 133 ft.lbs, produced at 2750 rpm, instead of 3500 rpm). That version was used on M46-equipped cars only.

Chesapeake Bay. All 500, except for one car which was returned to Sweden, were subsequently stripped of their GpA homologation equipment and sold as standard road cars. This was allowed under the Group A regulations, the cars only having to have been made and not necessarily sold. Nevertheless, it did lead to protests from other teams, until Volvo was able to produce proof that the 500 cars had indeed been manufactured.

The two-door model was available 1981–1984; four-door sedans available late 1981-early 1985 and wagons available 1982-early 1985.
