Many times companies will use the same motor in many of it’s cars to save money. It costs a ton of money to design a motor, so why would a company waste it’s money if one motor is more than capable of working with several different chassis. Often times it will be just a different ECU (or tune) that gets a motor more or less power.

The old Volvo used a 2.0 5cyl turbo with the same block, but obviously different heads and pistons than the RS. The new 2011 S60R will have a 3.0 6 cyl engine with 300hp and 325 lb/ft.  
So yes, the old one used the same block, but the engine as a whole was different. The new S60R coming out for 2011 has an entirely different engine.
