2012 Volvo S60 Polestar Concept Specs And Picture

2012 Volvo S60 Polestar Concept Specs And Picture - Last month, we found out that Polestar and Volvo were hard at work on a special tune of the S60 that would give the Swedish sedan an attitude for "the performance minded driver" and a right to say to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and BMW M3, "Yes, I'm looking at you." Speculation had been that the S60 Polestar Performance concept could fit the V8 from the XC90, but more frenetic minds prevailed, bolting a Garret turbocharger onto the T6 currently available in the S60 and raising it to 508 horsepower and 424 foot-pounds of torque – boosting the standard numbers by 208 hp and 99 lb-ft. That's good enough for a proclaimed 0-to-62 mph sprint in 3.9 seconds and a terminal velocity of "more than 300 km/h" (over 186 mph).

Wrapped around that engine are the promised 30-mm lower and 20-mm wider body, six-piston Brembos on the 380-mm front discs, a reinforced chassis, upgraded Haldex all-wheel drive, Öhlins three-way suspension and 19-inch wheels on 265-section rubber all around. Other tweaks include a six-speed manual transmission, increased track of 20 mm up front and 40 mm out back and a stainless steel exhaust. Weight has been reduced by 204 pounds compared to the North American-spec S60, and naturally, Alcantara shows up in force inside.
