Volvo S60 Polestar Performance Concept

Last month we learned that Polestar and Volvo say hard at work on a specific theme of the S60, the Swedish sedan an attitude of "performing set-driver" and a right to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and BMW, shows M3 "Yes, I'm in the eye." The speculation was that the S60 Polestar Performance System, apply to the out of the XC90 V8 prevailed, but more hectic thoughts, bolts a Garret turbo on the T6 is currently in the S60 and thus an increase to 508 horsepower and 424 foot-pounds of torque - the promotion of the standard figures of 208 hp and 99 Nm. That's good enough for a named 0-to-62 mph sprint in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of "over 300 km / h" (more than 186 mph).

Around this engine are the promised 30mm lower and 20mm wider body, six-piston Brembo on the 380 mm front discs, a reinforced chassis, improved Haldex all-wheel drive, Ohlins three-way suspension and 19-inch 265-section rubber wheels on all sides. Further optimization is a six-speed rail by 20 mm front and 40 mm higher and a stainless steel exhaust system. Weight is reduced by 204 pounds compared to North American-spec S60, and of course, Alcantara turns in power. There is currently only one built for "a particular customer." Polestar says more details will soon be unveiled, and more could follow such sedans, depending on the market.
