In order to celebrate winning the World Touring Car
Championship, Polestar is launching new special Volvo S60 and V60 World
Champion Editions. Polestar Cyan Racing won the FIA World Touring Car Championship
in a Volvo S60 Polestar TC1 race car and Thed Björk became the first Swede to
ever win a motor racing world title after securing the Driver’s Championship.
Now before you get excited about getting a proper
hot Volvo, learn that the special World Champion Edition treatment will be
available with every engine in the S60/V60 range, meaning the D4, D5, T5 and T6
models.
What Polestar did is bundle all the available
enhancements from their Performance Parts programme into these World Champion
Edition models, including a set of 19-inch light alloys wrapped in performance
tires, a free-flow stainless steel exhaust system and sports air filter as well
as upgraded dampers and springs.
Polestar’s “powertrain optimization” increases power
by up to 10hp and 50Nm of torque across all versions, as well as claim to offer
faster gearshifts and improved throttle response. Aesthetically the latest
special S60/V60 models will differentiate themselves with Polestar-branded
details inside and exterior features like a rear diffuser and rear spoiler.
The new Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar Performance World
Champion Editions are available now from any Polestar retailer globally.
