The Volvo V60 sportswagon and Volvo S60 luxury sedan are both much-loved models at our dealership in Burlingame, CA. Though the V60 is only just now making its U.S. debut, it has already garnered attention for its versatility, bold design, and Volvo's signature-- premium safety features.
The S60 also excelled in crash tests and satisfies drivers with its turbocharged engine options, refined ride, exceptional handling, and a comfortable, lavish cabin.
The moral of the story being, the S60 and V60 are already great vehicles and integral members of the new Volvo lineup. Yet the auto brand took the cars for some extra tweaking.
The result is a duo of special variants that may look like any ordinary S60 and V60, but are extraordinary where performance is concerned. Volvo collaborated with Polestar Racing division to design the S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar, which unsurprisingly feature many track-ready qualities.
One of which is an all-new shock absorber system, including springs that Volvo notes are 80-percent stiffer than the standard. Its chassis is also firmer and overall, the design boasts improved aerodynamics.
Under the hoods, you'll find a 3.0-liter six-cylinder inline T6 engine which is enhanced with a twin-scroll Borg Warner turbo, intercooler, and a full-flow exhaust system. Fitted with this potent setup, the Volvo pair can pump out 350 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque.
Catch the Polestar editions in dealerships, including Volvo of Burlingame, as soon as June 2014. In the meantime, stop by and test drive some of our other new and exciting models.
