volvos are underrated, volvo engines are great for tuning

@kungfucow547 7 лет назад

People always say that Mercedes's are overengineered. Well, Volvos are too. The old redblock straight 4 Volvo engine has been tuned to 500-600hp and is able to take it. Some Volvo dragracing specials have coaxed 1000hp from the redblock straight 4. The modern, modular straight-6 are durable and overengineered too.

@alexanderfernestad9460 6 лет назад

Nothing is like the allmighty t5

@angrydragonslayer 6 лет назад

I really like the 2.4 diesels myself, volvo might as well put a guarantee on 350 hp when you try to tune the ones with turbos. Modify the air intake a little and you likely got that 350 with the same fuel economy as the default 205.

Of course not a lot of people think they even exist, but when someone wanted to race, i'd point at the engine and say "that little guy? don't worry about that little guy..."

About 12 years ago as a broke college student I picked up an 87 740 turbo with a manual trans for a few grand. Simply by tightening a screw on the waste gate I raised the boost from 8 to 12 psi. That car was pretty quick, enough to surprise the heck out of a lot of people. Ugly as sin though :)

In terms of exclusivity, this car is as "exotic" as it gets. They are only building 6 of them, which means if they never actually start producing these, it'll end up a very nice car to have in your collection. I can see this car selling for much more than $300k in 20 years if all they ever build is 6.

@drag00nez 11 лет назад

The normal S60 T6 has 300 horsepowers. And Automatic transmission is just confirmed for Australia, they have not yet released any info about the rest of our global market. And 0-100 or 0-62 in 4,9 sec is not bad.

@brodie6449 11 лет назад

I own a 1998 Volvo V70R, and is it fast and fun to drive. It is 15 years old and still kicks some serious ass out on the roads. Volvo's aren't just safe my friend, they're QUALITY vehicles. Their mandate isn't to manufacture and sell as many cars as possible, they take pride in what they produce and perfect it.

They continue to kick butt in the WTC circuits. Patience is the word. Well done Polestar.

@chadc.5326 8 лет назад

they should go full production of this car, sedan and wagon both with the 6 spd manual or some form of automatic. this could put some pressure on the germans, they don't offer the old school stick shift that so many still adore and this is cheaper.... I think. similar power to the alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio which offers a stick shift also but rwd only. just imo this is a very special car, there should be far more than 6 being made!

Volvo may not be your type of car, but still there are many products and brands in this world that attracts different people. GTR may attracted you more than a Volvo.

lol. Volvo's brake preeetty darn good! Pretty sure my 740 turbo brakes better than an M3. Volvo's have always focused on safety, and good brakes are a safety feature. And besides. If you havent already seen it. The Volvo did just buttrape Audi and BMW around a track. Beating them with almost 5 seconds, so apparently it both brakes and handles better than an M3 :)

Keep in mind that this is basically a thoroughbred polestar race car with the sensibilities of your average S60. If you were a true Volvo enthusiast and track day hero, with a ton of cash, then I could see this being bought in a heartbeat. A lot of time went into developing this vehicle and making it what it is, by hand. For a true collector, this is a one in six piece. You will never see another one on the road. For some people, that is worth $300k.

The lexus LFA wasn't bulit for profit either remember everytime a LFA leaves a dealership they lose money. And atleast its a car you can look at and say it might not be a lambo but is a great work of engineering. What polestar has done here was make a car say "This is what we would want an S60 to be" and charge you for all the man hours they took in building it. And honestly I know they can do better and will do better because it is a car they want in production.

@Nonbelieverification 11 лет назад

Admittedly, the price is exorbitant. But when the volume of produced cars goes up the price will be able to drop dramatically and make if affordable for a much bigger audience. Even for fans of the fast ( yet somewhat overengineered) GTR.

@Kmancanada 11 лет назад

I haven't desired a Volvo so much since the 2007 V70 R. I'd heard more recently that, after this received a lot of interest on the show-circuit, that Volvo/Polestar were going to build a few hundred of them... Did C&D hear anything to that effect?

@g8spikyhair 11 лет назад

I love volvo and have owned many. But volvo will always have that same stereotype in my eyes for this exact reason...They dont take any risk. The c30 and s60 are perfect platforms for sport packages and while they somewhat address it with the "R" and Polestar upgrade, its still got nothing on M, AMG, and S line Audi. Volvo step it up and mass produce these beasts and I swear there will be a great demand for these cars and a much hotter target demographic.

Polestar is like the RS/S to Audi, AMG to Benz, ///M to BMW. It's 300K because there's only a few of them to be sold and of course, the amount went into development of this particular S60. Well, seems like you don't get the point.

@2Deep4yah 11 лет назад

I agree. Someone that would consider purchasing a car like this would have to also consider something like the skyline which goes for a little under 100k. That same person could then drop another 100K in it in performance to get proven performance and still have cash left over. I still like the idea though and Volvo should consider producing something like this, 200K cheaper though.

I agree with you even though you have to realise that the Lexus LFA is great marketing for Lexus and they probably profit from selling LFAs even though the actual car is more expensive to make than to buy. You must also compare how much money these two companies have. Only guessing i'd say Lexus can afford a stunt like that while polestar might not. You prove a good point however and the LFA has the look of a supercar while the s60 looks like a family sedan.
