Volvo S60 Polestar

Polestar has extensive experience in car racing such as STCC, WTCC and TTA. Their aftermarket power optimization is on the majority of Volvo cars. With its bright blue Volvo S60, the small company really proves that they know how to build a performance car!

With 508 horsepower and more performance than the German competitors, Svenska Polstar has deliberately set the bar high for its new S60. So far, there is only one example and it was produced partly to show the competence of Polestar. But also to help Volvo decide to put this type of car into production. With Polestar, Volvo really shows what can be done with their products, something that is needed in the tough fight for customers. Polestar's previous model built on a Volvo C30 became a bit of a megastar on its tour around the world. Celebrities like Jay Leno, the Top Gear gang ran it so did CS Life. Volvo has struggled for a long time to get its cars into video games, now it is the game companies who are getting in touch thanks to Polsestar. It has meant that the people at Volvo are finally starting to realize the value of what the small company on the west coast can achieve with their cars. So who knows, maybe soon the hottest thing on public roads will come from the country to the north instead of Germany.
