Volvo S60 drifting

Volvo Polestar Racing has released a new video featuring Kiwi driver Scott McLaughlin and Robert Dahlgren testing the Volvo S60 Polestar. Dubbed the Arctic Adventure, the clip features McLaughlin and Dahlgren test driving the S60 Polestar in Arctic conditions before heading to the assembly line to build one.

The S60 Polestar has an aerodynamic body kit that includes a front splitter, a rear diffuser and a trunk-mounted spoiler. The model also has gloss black mirrors, a sports exhaust system and 19-inch alloys with Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A tyres.

But it’s the engine where this vehicle steps up. The turbocharged three-litre six-cylinder engine develops 257kW and more than 500Nm of torque. It’s connected to a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system, which enables the sedan to accelerate from 0-100kph in 4.9 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 250kph.
