Finally, the Volvo S60 Polestar hits South African shores
The Volvo S60 Polestar has caused quite a buzz in South Africa. Most of the 25 cars allocated to the local market were pre-sold weeks before the cars even arrived in the country.
The S60 Polestar is the latest edition to the S60 range and causes quite a fuss with its 285 kW of power and sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 4,9 seconds.
Development of the car started a few years back and picks up from the Polestar C30 and S60 concept cars as well as the Australian S60 Polestar race car.
Volvo Car South Africa has brought in a limited number of the MY16 Volvo S60 Polestar’s which are priced at R735 000 each.
Volvo and Polestar share a long history – the two companies have been working together in motor sport since 1996 and in recent years signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop Volvo Polestar derivatives that combine a comfortable Volvo driving experience with a very high level of power and handling for the performance-minded customer.
If you are unsure as to what Polestar is, it merely refers to the performance brand of Volvo cars.
