Thanks for sharing the link. Interesting on all the goodies the owner has added to his car. Quite the spec! It always amazes me how far someone goes to modify their car.
It reminds me of the 95 T-5R a guy back in Scotland had modified by TWR who ran the racing 850's in the UK. That car put out around 480-500bhp!
Being and old curmudgeon, the author is technically incorrect on the 'T5' label. I believe I am correct in that term was not used until the 98 V/S/C70 models.
1995 had the T-5R which became the 850R.
Neil.

The writer does seem to be calling the early 850 Turbo a 'T5', which is a bit confusing. My '94 was just badged as a turbo. My current '97 wagon does carry T5 insignia though.
That is quite the list of mods; wonder what the 2022 money would be for the prep and paint work.
