The Volvo 264 was introduced in the autumn
of 1974 as the successor to the Volvo 164. It was then produced simultaneously
with the 264 in 1975 for the US market.
The 164 had been based on the
144 and, in the same way, the 264 was based on the 244. The most striking
change was the design of the front of the car with its more prestige-oriented
styling.
A completely new engine had been developed for the 264 - a V6
with a displacement of 2.7-litres, made entirely of aluminium and developed in
collaboration with Peugeot and Renault; it became known as the PRV
engine.
