Despite Volvo’s rather staid image as a maker of, well, staid cars, not all Swedes are obsessed with safety and practicality. These particular Swedes are into racing 627-horsepower, all-wheel-drive Volkswagen Scirocco hatchbacks. On ice. I’ll see your sleepy Volvo and raise you automotive lunacy.

Click past the jump for video of the insanity.
