      to hero of known song it did not be sufficient in winter - years, in autumn - spring, but Volvo XC90, until now, was missing the motor of so imposing a volume. Indeed all classmates of "premium-parketnika" have long since been equipped with different "eights" of analogous volume - this and BMW X5 4.4, and VW Touareg 4.2 and, etc.

     K to regret, the appearance of krupnoob"emnykh power units in one or other extra-road builder or another is most frequently caused by the fact that its generating firm was aimed at the market OF THE USA (Americans they prefer large extra-roads builder with the powerful motors and they are not inclined to calculate the fuel consumption).
     Interesno, that generation Volvo XC90 V8 compromises the ideas of Russian "patriots", the convinced enemies of globalization. You judge themselves: the owner of brand - "Ford", the body of novelty - creation "Volvo", and 4,4- liter engine - "Yamaha". Here is this capitalist international.
     Na North American market is today sold by 60% of all of those produced XC90, and in order to raise this percentage, "vol'vovtsy" they decided to equip its "parketnik" with more powerful cursor. And by not simply powerful, and still also not burdened by any there fashionable in Europe, but especially in the Scandinavian countries, by turbines, by compressors and other "navorotami", which allow of the small volume of motor "to squeeze out" as much as possible "horses". By the way, many could astonish, why "Volvo" it was necessary to search for this engine on the "side", indeed in masters - "Ford" - similar motors in bulk. The American jeeps have the capacity of power unit - special pride. Not in vain even Bavarians began to equip their Khshch still and with 4,8- liter "silovikom" in order to approach the mentality of overseas user. Entire matter in the construction of body Volvo XC90 - under the cowling motor can be placed only across. Certainly, place there would be sufficient, also, for the "longitudinal life" "eight", but then it would not remain the energy-consuming zone of deformation. But as is known, precisely, the highest passive restraint of automobiles - horse of brand "Volvo". Otherwise for the engineers of company it would be necessary to change the construction of body XC90 (to actually develop new model, that it costs big enough means, and the main thing, time). Saved the Japanese, who long ago collaborate with the Swedes. This 4,4- liter 8- drum 32- valve engine is exceptionally compact, because has 60- degree disintegration between two cylinder blocks - different from the more extended 90- degree, accepted by majority V- descriptive power units. Thanks to which it was entered in the motor it cut off "ninetieth". In this case the cursor possesses all "charms" of volumetric "eights" - it develops 315 hp, and its torque (most important characteristic of engine V8) is equal to imposing 440 nm with 3900 r/min. This four-valve engine is equipped with the system of the constantly variable phases of inlet and release (CVVT) - system regulates the moments of valve opening in accordance with the current engine revolutions and the load. As a result it works more economically, decreases the fuel consumption, a quantity of toxic exhausts is reduced and dynamic characteristics rise. Well that it is still necessary for priveredlivomu American?
     Vklyuchayem "drive" in the outdoor "automaton", we press on the dlinnokhodnuyu pedal of gas... and two-ton Volvo XC90 V8 with the ease starts from the place - 7,3 seconds to "hundred" speak they themselves for itself. But with the off stabilization system machine is capable of being touched azh with the slippage. Further automobile is accelerated exactly and energetically. By the way, if someone it seemed that is sufficient to place on the automobile motor pomoshchneye and it will go somewhat more rapidly, then they strongly make mistakes. Certainly, it did not manage without the replacement by the new and the automatic gearbox. Until now on top- version XC90 T' was placed 4- stepped "automaton". Present Geartronic - the 6- stepped aggregate Aisin AW - smoothly sorts out transfers because of the optimum selection of gear ratios. Yes even the algorithm of switching is sufficiently good - "automaton" rapidly it is adapted to the active manner of ride. With the embedded pedal of gas it does not hurry to pass to the increasing step, while with the repeated pressure into the floor "jumps" to the lowered transfer. And manual regime here honest - box itself passes neither "upward" nor "downward". Certainly, "automaton" not "rapid-firing itself", but it is much better than the previous. If another selector of "automaton" with the transfer into the position "drive" did not jump off into the manual regime - not at all for which would be to be hooked.
     Novyy engine and box "stretched" after themselves changes also in the system of complete drive. No, cardinal were not required - under normal conditions almost 100% of torque it brings to the front wheels, and only in the case of their slippage moment with the aid of clutch Haldex will be given back. Now the system of the complete drive AWD with electronic control is augmented by function Instant Traction - in other words, Haldex acquired by "prednatyagom". With the zero-length launch the clutch is partially blocked and "weakens" only after acceleration into 15 km/h. Naturally, they thought also that it would maintain the noticeably increased torque of engine.
     A here suspension to alter it was not necessary - as before, its "tuning" depend not on engine, but on the mass of automobile, i.e., from its assembly. On XC90 V8 it surprisingly "podsobralas'" - in any case, the banks of body became considerably smaller in comparison with XC90, equipped in-line engines. The directional stability "ninetieth" and to the innovations was outstanding. To govern automobile one pleasure, if we are not recycled on the "strangenesses" of the work of the amplifier of control yes to put on gloves so that would not become covered with moisture the palms on the wooden "baranka". Although by itself multifunctional steering wheel with the wooden rim looks magnificently. Only difficulty - elegant leather armchairs so did not obtain lateral support, and driver with the passenger they were forced to hold body in the turns independently. Probably,; therefore on the front counters knobs appeared. It is it's a pity only, that they more greatly be suitable for narrow female palms, it is on top of that located in the visibility ranges of lateral mirrors, passenger by his hand overlaps survey.
     Vneshnost' Volvo XC90 with the new motor also remained "vol'vovskoy" - "beak" in the style of the present cars S60 and S80, the vertical "garlands" of backing lamps - as on the specialists of company. Only on the radiator grill of graphite- gray color stands in beauty unit plate "V8"; certainly, you will find it, also, on the rear board. By the way, the fifth door XC90 consists of two parts - one a little more, is opened upward, another (lower third) - is removed similarly to board in pick-up. This diagram is good for the transportation of the measuring devices, for example, of three-meter boards. But in the remaining cases of "otkidushka" only hampers access into the depths of the baggage carrier, although, from other side, the users never will soil trousers against the dirty bumper. For the sake of fairness it is worthwhile to note that not only the inscriptions speak, that this is the top- version "ninetieth". First of all strike new 18- one inch wheels, chrome-plated finishing of air ducts in the bumper, two exhaust pipes and less noticeable nuances of the type of painted in the color of body moldingov and knobs of doors.
     Po- previous Volvo XC90 propose to owner the maximum of comfort. In the salon of machine there is entire necessary for the prolonged trips. Besides become required for this class of machines all possible electric drives is present and the built-in telephone, and outstanding "music" of the highest class, and even kassetnitsa for storing the CDS. Strictly, more easily to transfer, which is not in the equipment of sufficiently spacious salon. But about the fact that although detract places in it, speaks the fact that it is possible to order the seven-place version XC90, where in the baggage hold they will stand two valuable, those easily removed into the floor of armchair.
     Vozmozhno, Volvo XC90 V8 will be able to distract to itself the attention of the potential buyers of the same BMW X5 4.4. Although even lower price XC90 (difference with X5 it will be about $10 000) hardly "pereb'et" the prestige of Bavarian stamp, especially in Russia, where to "slope" is paid the increased attention. But then, for the person, capable of laying out $100 000 for the automobile, this difference is unessential...
