VOLVO S80V8 2008 review.
Inside and out, the all-new Volvo S80 provides first-class luxury and safety features, a V8 engine and All-Wheel Drive.
The S80 also features Adaptive Cruise Control with Collision Warning and Brake Support. Not only does the system automatically maintain a selected distance to the vehicle in front; even when it’s off, a buzzer and warning lights will alert the driver if the gap to the vehicle in front closes too quickly. At the same time, it prepares the braking system for sudden use.

The long list of innovations in protective (passive) safety includes sophisticated crash energy absorption systems in the structure, the next generation of WHIPS whiplash mitigation, new Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) side airbags with separate chambers to protect chest and hips, and new protection for pedestrians.
