Volvo's flagship of the 1980s, launched in 1982. Its sharp-edged styling by Jan Wilsgaard, with an almost upright rear window, was controversial at first and then became a Volvo signature. It came with a V6, a turbocharged four or a six-cylinder turbodiesel, and the cheaper 740 was spun off from it.
