Volvo has released a handful of pics and information for the coolest car in its lineup, the V60 “engineered by Polestar”. Let’s call it the V60 Polestar for convenience sake. As you know, Polestar is the burgeoning performance arm of Volvo and the company’s history with fast estates is well established.
The V60 Polestar is powered by a turbocharged straight six cylinder engine which produces 257kW at 5700rpm and 500Nm at 2800–4750rpm. Coupled to a 6-speed auto and a specifically calibrated Haldex all-wheel drive system the V60 Polestar can knock off 100km/h in 4.9 seconds. Pretty cool, huh.
Set-off by model-specific bodywork and bespoke 20″ alloy rims the V60 Polestar means business. Beneath the skin the chassis has been beefed up and is supported by Ohlins suspension. A 2.5″ stainless exhaust system is sure to provide a an aggressive note as well.
The V60 Polestar is due to go on sale with its S60 sedan counterpart in the UK by June next year. At this stage Australian delivery is yet to be confirmed, but we suspect that will be a formality. We’ll let you know more about local delivery as soon as we hear.
