Anonim

The new Volvo S60 and V60 “muscled” by Polestar can now be ordered. Get to know all the specifications and prices for our country.

Polestar had already revealed its plans to upgrade the new Volvo S60 and V60 and as promised, here we have it.

The models prepared by Polestar are equipped with a 4-cylinder turbo engine (the same used in the Volvo S60 Polestar TC1 that will debut in the next WTCC season) with 367hp. They also have improvements in intake, turbo system and fuel pump.

In terms of performance, both accelerate to 100km/h in 4.7 seconds thanks to improvements made to both the Geartronic eight-speed gearbox and the all-wheel drive system developed by BorgWarner. According to the Swedish brand, consumption is around 7.8l/100 km and emissions around 179 g/km of CO2. In order to optimize their performance, the new Volvo S60 and V60 have a more efficient weight distribution, being 24 kg lighter on the front axle and 20 kg on the rear axle, compared to previous versions.

According to Henrik Fries, Vice President of Polestar:

All these modifications that we carry out are intended to improve its efficiency and maneuverability. The foundation of this new engine features racing technology, turbo-combination solutions, lighter materials and much more. This works hand in hand with our philosophy and has allowed us to improve the Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar.

Both versions can now be ordered: the price for the S60 T6 version is €79,996 and €81,958 for the V60 T6 version, both with the Polestar signature.
