Two new, performance-oriented Volvo models made their North American debut at the Chicago Auto Show.
Billed as the S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar, the bespoke aerodynamic pieces set them apart from your parents' V60 or S60. Handling is further improved by a combination of high-performance shock absorbers and stiffer springs. Tucked neatly behind the Polestar exclusive 20-inch wheels are Brembo brakes. Polestar models will only be offered in Sapphire Black or Rebel Blue.
The turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six boasts 345 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque capable of sub-5 second 0-60 times. These numbers are achieved via a new twin-scroll turbocharger, a larger intercooler, a 2.5-inch exhaust system and special ECU tweaks. The only available transmission is a six-speed automatic wih steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
With only 120 examples slated for our shores, we expect Volvo will have no problem selling every one before they're scheduled to hit select dealerships this June. Additional information, including pricing, is to be announced.
