History
The Volvo 760 was introduced in early 1982, entering the small group of manufacturers of prestige vehicles with superior comfort and high performance levels. Its distinctive angular design maximized interior space, while its safety features surpassed those of previous Volvo cars and most competitors. The 'basic' version, the 760 GLE, was powered by a developed version of the French V6 engine previously used in the 260 Series. Later, a very fast 4-cylinder turbo version with intercooler and a 6-cylinder diesel version with intercooler were added. These engines offered good performance and low fuel consumption, providing superior comfort over long distances and unparalleled cruising range. In 1987, the 760 GLE underwent a major transformation, with a new front design and the introduction of an independent multi-link rear axle, along with hundreds of other major changes, making this model virtually a new car.
