In the mid-2000s, Volvo offered the XC90 with a DOHC 32-valve V8 engine developed by Yamaha. In 2005, Volvo showed a supercharged version of the XC90 V8 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, hinting at a higher-performance model. That supercharged version was never sold to the public. The standard XC90 V8 remained on sale for a few years before the V8 option was discontinued in 2011.
