6. Volvo 240 Turbo Wagon (1982)

At first glance, the Volvo 240 Turbo Wagon from 1982 does not necessarily appear interesting to car aficionados today. At the time; however, the auto did more to bring turbocharged engines into cars driven by the middle class than any other turbocharged vehicle of this era. The 240 Turbo Wagon was introduced in both two and four door models in 1982 and featured a 2.1 liter V4 with a turbocharger that increased the Wagon’s horsepower to 127 HP which was a significant improvement over previous editions of the vehicle. The car would eventually become known as the first “Kid Friendly” turbocharged auto on the market and by 1985 the engine size and output eventually grew to 2.3 liters and 162 HP.
