790.0. "VOLVO PRV" by NCEIS1::CHEVAUX (Patrick Chevaux, Nice, 828-6995) Fri Oct 06 1989 16:53

    Just read that Volvo bailed out of the PRV engine development
    consortium something like 2 weeks ago. The positive info is that
    they will launch a straight 6 engine in the near (?) future.

    Peugeot and Renault are reported to have worked with the CFM (Compagnie
    Fran�aise de M�canique, Douvrin) on a new 6 cylinder engine. 
    The article does not mention a V6. 
    Based on the Renault-Volvo alliance my guess is that they may build a 
    straight 6. For what cars ?

    Volvo have already launched a 3Litre 24v Straight six in the new 960 range. 
    It was developed by Volvo and produced 204BHP with a 275BHP Twin Turbo
    to follow.
    
    I do'nt think Peugeot and Renult had anything to do with it though.
