Certainly brisk enough, but to put it in modern day context my 250CDi LEC gets to 62mph in 7.6 seconds and has a top speed of 144mph. The fast version, an E63, does it in 4.3 seconds and is limited to 155mph. It does cost £75k, but in real terms that's probably the same as the Volvo 'back in the day' !
