So here it is the uprated V60 Polestar which is basically a power update for speed junkies but as Volvo confesses “the quickest car we have ever made”. That’s good enough for us because you know what in the past if you ever associated Volvo with speed and ‘best ever made’ you probably would have been sent to the lunatic asylum… And never released. However the Volvo V60 Polestar isn’t just a celestial nod to Polaris or Sigma Octantis its 367bp in lateral estate and saloon form. The 2.0-litre twin-turbo engine, with a supercharged and turbocharged configuration, pumps out 367bhp and 470Nm of torque. The performance engineers at Polestar have added a bigger turbo, new conrods, new camshafts, a larger air intake and a higher-capacity fuel pump to augment the engine. In addition the V60 Polestar gets a BorgWarner four-wheel-drive system and the newly optimised eight-speed Geartronic automatic gearbox. So what does all of that mean exactly? Let us explain with simple real world examples such as 0 to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds and a limited to a top speed of 155 mph. The V60’s weight has also been reduced, its 24 kilos lighter over the front axle and 20 kilos lighter in total compared with the previous version. Other new features on the car include new 20” lightweight alloy wheels, Polestar-calibrated electro-assisted power steering and a new slotted front brake disc of 371 millimetres. Prices for the new V60 Polestar will be announced at a later date, and first UK deliveries are expected in Q4 2016.
