This is, in large part, thanks to Volvo introducing the first 6-cylinder diesel engine in a passenger car back in 1978. A few years later, Volvo developed turbocharged versions of the 4-cylinder engine found in the 240 Turbo, further boosting its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Car owners today still rave about their 240 Turbo, mentioning how reliable and drivable it is even after thousands of miles under its belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engine Specs: <\/strong>2.1-liter inline-4, turbocharged<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weight: <\/strong>2842 lbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power: <\/strong>153 HP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Torque: <\/strong>177 lb-ft<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0-60 mph: <\/strong>9.0 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volvo 242 GT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1022\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-1022x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Volvo 242 GT Volvo Cars Global Newsroom\" class=\"wp-image-135872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-1022x1024.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-1534x1536.jpg 1534w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Volvo-242-GT-Volvo-Cars-Global-Newsroom.jpg 1997w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 242 GT offered adequate power.
