this is wonderful news... as the only flaw with the XC90 when we drove it, was a lack of power... even on the T6 model, it's utterly inadequate. 0-60 in 8.8, feels much slower than that. I know my car (non-turbo 850 auto sedan) has less power and is a bit slower, but it honestly doesn't feel like that. A V8 will make this a top pick in the sport-futility-vehicle market.
