Volvo 850 Estate BTCC Racing Poster
Description
A cult hero in touring car history – this poster captures the iconic Volvo 850 Estate race car in full livery, a machine that broke conventions and became a legend. With its long roofline, bold blue-and-white Securicor Omega Express graphics, and racing stance, it’s instantly recognizable to motorsport fans.
Engine:
The BTCC-spec Volvo 850 Estate ran a naturally aspirated 2.0L inline-5 engine, producing around 290–300 hp. Built to Super Touring regulations, it featured high-revving power delivery and advanced engineering tuned by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR).
Performance:
Despite its wagon silhouette, the 850 delivered serious track performance – with front-wheel drive, sequential transmission, race suspension, and aggressive aerodynamics. While it didn’t win a championship in estate form, it made a lasting impression for its competitiveness and audacity.
Heritage:
Raced in the 1994 British Touring Car Championship, the 850 Estate became a fan favorite thanks to its unconventional shape and drivers like Rickard Rydell. Although Volvo switched to the saloon version the following year for aerodynamic benefits, the wagon remains one of the most iconic touring cars ever campaigned.
This high-quality poster celebrates a motorsport rebel – perfect for fans of BTCC history, Volvo performance heritage, and race cars that dared to be different.
