Swedish automobile company Volvo Cars launched the fastest car they have ever made– the new Volvo S60 Polestar. Polestar, the performance brand owned by Volvo Cars, is the quickest car from Volvo’s stable. The car makes 0 - 100km/h sprint in just 4.7 seconds and is limited to a top speed of 250kmh, powered by a specially-enhanced version of Volvo’s award-winning four cylinder Drive-E powertrain.
Polestar has taken an original S60 and added a bigger turbo, a supercharger, new conrods, new camshafts, a larger air intake and a higher capacity fuel pump to augment the engine; and matched it with a BorgWarner four-wheel drive system and the new Polestar-optimised eight-speed Geartronic automatic gearbox.
On top of this new performance-optimised equipment, Polestar has reduced the car’s weight by 24kgs lighter over the front axle and 20kgs lighter in total compared to the previous model years.
The new Volvo S60 Polestar comes at an unbelievable INR 52.5 lakhs (Ex-showroom, Delhi) a price that will attract many petrolheads.
