Classic Volvo wagons are known for many things and being perfect starting points for sleeper projects is one of them. The adjacent videos comes to demonstrate this, showing a 1967 Volvo Amazon that enters a rolling start drag race with one of the hottest supercars of the moment, the Ferrari 458 Italia.
Yes, we know, this Volvo doesn't fall into the sleeper category 100 percent, as the large rims and brakes could make other drivers suspicious, but nobody would expect this wagon to leave a 458 in its dust. All this is possible thanks to the 600 hp under the hood.
