Volvo as we know does things properly, and you would have to when you are operating in the performance car market. As a result, the S60 Polestar comes with an aerodynamics package which packs in a front splitter, air diffuser and a rear spoiler to streamline all that power for maximum impact. Meanwhile 80 per cent stiffer Polestar springs, the shock absorbers are from Ohlins and bigger brakes from Brembo manage the added firepower better. Completing the high performance package for the car are new 20 inch wheels shod with sticky Pilot Super Sport tyres from Michelin.
The Volvo S60 Polestar can now be yours for Rs. 52.5 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The only other rival to the S60 Polestar in India would be the slightly more powerful Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG which retails at Rs. 76.19 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
