Cars Pictures, that was Fast: Volvo Unleashes New Polestar Performance Upgrades for XC60, S60 and XC70 T6

Cars Pictures, that was Fast: Volvo Unleashes New Polestar Performance Upgrades for XC60, S60 and XC70 T6

Volvo only just introduced its Polestar performance program in the United States on November 7, yet the Swedish carmaker is already expanding its offerings to include the 2011-2012 XC60, S60 and XC70 models fitted with a T6 engine. The new T6 Polestar ECU upgrade package increases power from 300-horses to 325HP and peak torque from 324 lb-ft to 354 lb.-ft. on all three models. According to Volvo, the power increase does not affect the cars' average fuel consumption numbers.
"Just a few weeks after announcing the performance package for select T5 models, we have already received tremendous feedback from our customers," said Chris Dauerer, VCNA's vice president of customer service. "With Polestar, we are able to deliver our performance-minded customers the enhanced driving package they have been looking for now across a variety of our carline," he added.
Volvo's new software kit is priced at US$1,495 installed and will be available for order nationwide on December 5.
After the latest addition, the Polestar performance software package is available on most of Volvo's newest models fitted with the T5 and T6 engines (see the list below).

  • XC60 T6 R-Design (MY2011-2012)
  • C30 T5 (MY2008-2012)
  • C70 T5 (MY2008-2012)
  • S40 T5 (MY2008-2011)
