This incredible Volvo 940 SE Turbo came at me with high speed on a car dealer area in north Beijing, but I just managed to snap two pics. It was in perfect condition, ultra clean, and on its original sporty wheels.

The Volvo 940 SE Turbo was a upmarket variant of the standard 940 turbo. It came with goodies such as leather seats, a sunroof, power seats, body-colored trim, and the aforementioned wheels.

Power however didn’t change: a 2.3 liter turbocharged four with 153 hp and 230 Nm. It was a rather fast car for the day; going from zero to 100 in just under ten seconds, topping out at 200 km/h.

The 940 was manufactured from 1990 until 1998. It was not officially sold in China, but some cars arrived via diplomatic or gray channels (The luxurious 960, based on the 940, was sold in China).
