Brochure: Volvo Mk.2-II S60 Polestar (April 2014)
WHEN DRIVING MATTERS Welcome to Polestar Polestar is about motorsport, and motorsport is about driving. That’s why we focus on one thing: optimising driveability. A Polestar vehicle – be it a race car or road car – is always designed to deliver optimal grip and control. The race track and open road may be opposites, but both equally demanding. Regardless of surface or purpose, optimal drive- ability is what makes a driver safe and confident behind the wheel. All Polestar products are developed for people like ourselves – those who appreciate driving with full control. In other words, when driving matters. Meet the Volvo S60 Polestar This is a Volvo engineered by Polestar. When you buy one of these cars, you’re also buying experience and knowledge gained from thousands of laps around the world’s most demanding race tracks. But make no mistake, even though these cars have a lot in common with our race cars, they are built for the road. Thoroughly tested on the mountain passes of Spain, the German autobahns, Australia’s outback and, of course, above the polar circle in Sweden. While these cars deliver a unique level of driving performance they also take you anywhere you want to go – on all roads, in any weather. These are cars to be enjoyed 365 days a year. Not only on that perfect sunny Sunday. Volvo S60 Polestar Acceleration (0-100 km/h): 4.9 secs Acceleration (0-200 km/h): 17.7 secs Top Speed (limited): 250 km/h Polestar Engineered The Volvo S60 Polestar is based on the S60 T6 R-Design AWD.
