Following today’s earlier post about the Volvo C30 Polestar Performance Concept comes this brief YouTube clip (see below).

Cast your mind back to the middle of last year, when Volvo announced its 508hp S60 Polestar. You were probably thinking to yourself, I wonder what that would be like to drive.
