The Volvo S60 Polestar was officially launched last year following the exciting announcement of Volvo Cars involvement in V8 Supercars Racing. A limited edition production run of just fifty (50) Volvo S60 Polestar's were produced and have been developed exclusively for the Australian market. This vehicle is #38 of 50. inWe have built a car that we, as car enthusiasts, want to drive,in says Christian Dahl, Managing Director of Polestar. inThis is a driver's car, bringing out the very best of the already competent Volvo S60 chassis with our experience and technology from motorsport.in The performance and equipment attributes of the Volvo S60 Polestar make it comparable to the Audi S4 and should be considered alongside the Lexus ISF, BMW M3 and Mercedes Benz C63. Key to the development of the Volvo S60 Polestar was the extensive work done on the chassis over thousands of test kilometres in Europe from the fast Autobahns in Germany to the twisty roads of southern Spain, and the freezing cold of northern Sweden. Volvo Polestar Racing driver Robert Dahlgren, a 33 year old Swede with 10 years' experience as a Volvo factory racing driver, has been an integral part of the development work. He is one of the drivers in the V8 supercar series with the GRM Volvo-Polestar team, paired alongside Scott Mclaughlin. inThe Volvo S60 Polestar is a car that we are truly proud of, our first step to a car available to the customers,in said Robert Dahlgren, Volvo Polestar Racing driver. inWe have taken the best bits of the standard Volvo S60 T6 and our S60 Polestar Concept Car, creating a vehicle that puts a smile on your face when you drive it over your favourite twisty road. At the same time, it is more than capable of everyday driving too.in inThis is, in my eyes, a very good combination of the Volvo and Polestar core values: safety and performance.in The Volvo S60 Polestar shares technology from the Polestar racing cars, like dampers from Ohlins, high capacity brakes, and the extensively developed, highly tuned chassis. A new aerodynamic package has also been developed, including a front splitter, rear wing and diffuser - all having been tweaked and modified in the Volvo Car Corporation wind tunnel in collaboration with the Volvo Research and Development team. The six cylinder turbo charged Volvo T6 engine has been optimised by Polestar with a bigger turbo, new intercooler, revised engine mapping and racing exhaust to produce 350bhp or 257kW and 500+Nm. The Volvo S60 Polestar accelerates from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds, via a Polestar tuned six speed automatic gearbox - which also features a launch control system - and a Polestar tuned Haldex 4WD system. The car is governed to a top speed of 250km/h. Please contact one of the sales team to make an appointment to inspect this incredible motor vehicle or to arrange a test drive.
