Does anyone know why M-Sport uses Volvo S60 (probably with Haldex AWD ??) cars for reconnaissance of special stages ?
Here is one photo (can't post it directly, still having less then 15 posts )

Ford owned Volvo Cars from 1999 to 2008. Probably with the recession etc it was not cool to run new recce cars if the old ones were still doing the job.

Yes, maybe it is just that simple. I was wondering is there anything interesting in their construction that made a recce car? That time it was the only Ford passenger car with AWD (?), especially in Europe.

Don't think so they will use the Volvo's till they break apart I think, btw those Volvo's are very powerfull and strong u can do everything with it . Citroën uses Lancer's, VW Polo R's and Prodrive Mini Cooper S.

Saw the coverage of Acropolis tonight. In the first part they had a piece on suspension. In several slow motion phases we saw the Fiesta's front suspension work in rough conditions, and also the DS3.
The Fiestas front wheels wobbled a lot side to side during compression, something the DS3 did not.
It moved so fast imo that it could not be the driver doing it.
If this is normal for the Ford, That would explain the front suspension breakages they have all the time.

Neuville top M-Sport driver up to now. Impressive in only his second season.
