Of course we expect the sporty Volvo S60 PoleStar, but the Swedes really know us by surprise. With 508 hp and a top speed above 300 km / h exceeds the S60 Polestar our wildest expectations!
Despite Polestar was founded in 1996, the name is unknown to the general public. It is undoubtedly due to the fact that one focuses on the racing addressed. Even with the new S60. But Volvo wants to do more with Polestar. The plan to build a sporty S60 buzzing for some time and is now very concrete to take shape.
The Swedes tackle after the C30 Polestar Concept that never was intended into production, now with a Volvo S60 PoleStar very sporty. And if the rumors are true that is much closer to reality. The model can be distinguished by the bright blue paint, a carbon fiber diffuser, the increased track width (2 cm in front, rear 4 cm) and some other optical material - obviously optimized in the wind tunnel. The result is a nice thick S60, but with the style of a Volvo. In black, the model also can go for an R-Design model run.
Under the hood is a place for fireworks. Here lays a turbocharged six-cylinder in-line equipped with a Garrett turbo, for a total power of 508 hp at 6,500 rpm. In addition, the T6 engine 575 Nm torque at 5,500 rpm that also through a manual six-speed gearbox to all four wheels is headed. All thanks to the modified cylinder head and combustion chamber, more breathing space for the inlet and a 3.5 "stainless steel exhaust. An electronic limited slip differential, Haldex all-wheel drive, big sway bars, strong rods and large disc brakes provide the rest. The result? Zero to hundred in 3.9 seconds and a top speed exceed 300 km / h. How exactly do they know only in the North. But that Volvo has a serious attack on this example, an Audi S6, BMW M5 and Mercedes E AMG, which may clear!
