The power/shuffle/no shuffle switch from the first generation version was separated into two controls to avoid an accidentally selected mode of operation.

The electronics were vastly improved, with one main board compared to two separate pieces in the generation 1 version.

Tachi also had a successful career with the second generation version.

It replaced the V40, which was an estate version of the first generation version of the S40.

It is assembled in the 1999 and 2003 generation versions.

The following tracks appear in the current generation versions.

Production of the first generation models ended in 1990 as a second generation version became available for the 1991 model year.

The next generation version had ten outer hoops, covered with a leather lining, shaped to present a small profile to the ground.

The third generation version, which has just gone on sale in Britain, looks likely to continue the success story.

This version continued in production until being replaced by the eight generation version in 1994.
