R-80 also from Volvo
Volvo is producing an R edition of its S80. Due late next year, the high-performance model will get a 2.5-litre 300bhp engine, 4WD and a version of the Four-C suspension seen on the S60R and V70R. Prices are likely to start at around £40,000.

Will that even make it into the same category as a 540i? Looks like it will only compete at the GS430 level. They should have made a 400hp beast to go up against the E55 and M5.

That was my first thought. Why go from the 2.8 liter twin turbo to 2.5 liter turbo for a little more power?
