Volvo and the Rise of Turbocharged Cars: A Match Made in Necessity
The 1970s oil crisis forced a change in the American car. Big engines, once desired for their power, became gas-guzzling burdens. Small engines, while fuel-efficient, lacked the thrill.

This innovation debuted in the 1980 Volvo 240 Turbo, offering both fuel economy and a “kick” of power.
