These are Volvos engineered by Polestar. When you buy one of these cars, you also buy into the experience and knowledge they've gained from thousands of laps around demanding racetracks.

But make no mistake, even if these cars do have a lot in common with the racecars they are built for the road. Thoroughly tested on mountain roads in Spain, in the Australian heat, along the Autobahn and of course, above the polar circle in Sweden. While these cars deliver a unique level of driving performance they also take you anywhere you want to go, on all roads, in any weather. These are cars to be enjoyed 365 days a year. Not only on that perfect sunny Sunday.

The Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar cars are based on the S/V60 T6 AWD R-Design. A vast number of upgrades have been done to turn them into Polestar Volvos. Below is a list showing some of them.

• Chassis: Upgrades include modifications made to increase rigidity of the chassis to cater for the 80% stiffer springs relative to the standard S/V60 R-Design. These changes combined with the tailored high performance Öhlins shock absorbers and 20" Polestar wheels results in a significantly raised level of grip and a precise, yet comfortable, driving experience.
  
  
• Engine: The six-cylinder turbo-charged T6 engine has undergone extensive development with a new twin-scroll turbo and intercooler to produce 345 HP/258 kW at 5700 rpm and 500 Nm/369 lb-ft already at 3000 rpm.
  
  
• Transmission: The six-speed automatic gearbox features a new paddle shift system that together with the Polestar developed Haldex four-wheel drive system takes the car from 0-60 mph in just 4.7 seconds and to a limited top speed of 155 mph. The gearbox as well as the four-wheel drive system and traction control system has been recalibrated in order to provide an active driving experience and maximum grip in all situations.
  
  
• Brakes: The brake system has undergone substantial modifications. Most visible are the 371 millimetre ventilated front discs and six-piston Brembo calipers, guaranteeing a high level of braking performance.
  
  
• 20" Polestar Wheels: The new 20" bespoke Polestar rims, equipped with Michelin Pilot Super Sport PSS 95 Y 245/35ZR20 tyres, are a vital part of the car, maximizing the grip level and adding to the sporty looks.
  
  
• Exhaust system: The six-cylinder turbo-charged T6 engine breathes through a 2.5" stainless steel exhaust system, making for a throaty engine note.
  
  
• Aerodynamics: To reflect the increased performance of the S/V60 Polestar, positive aerodynamic effects have been achieved through subtle, yet efficient, modifications based on data from tests in the Volvo Cars wind tunnel. The changes are visible with the front splitters, optimizing the airflow under-neath the car, as well as a new rear spoiler and diffusor, increasing the downforce.
  
  
• Interior: The interior has been reworked with new details, materials and Polestar colors, such as the steering wheel, seats and the pedals, with the sole purpose of increasing driver support and control. The Polestar designed seats features a blend of black Nubuck textile and perforated leather with Polestar blue threading. The seats are designed to provide the driver with best possible support for active driving and at the same time long-journey comfort.
