Keep pace for some of the world's fastest tin-top
racers isn't a task for just any car. For the FIA World Touring Car
Championship, the job falls to the Volvo V60 Polestar.
The Swedish automaker and its racing partner
introduced the modified wagon to the series last year, and has now unveiled a
new one with additional modifications for the task.
Dubbed “the world's safest Safety Car,” the new
Polestar wagon features a comprehensively revised aero kit. The revised front
splitter, side skirts, and rear spoiler are all made of carbon fiber, and
provide 30 percent more downforce than last year's model.
Based on the 367-horsepower road-going wagon,
the safety car version features a roll cage, emergency rescue equipment, and
communications gear to carry out its duty.
