Volvo S60 Polestar Concept

Dunno why, but I love it.

The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept has graced the pages of Autoblog numerous times in recent memory, but we've never actually seen it in person. That is, until now.

We caught up with the blazing blue sedan sitting on the floor of the LA Auto Show, and it looks even better up close. As a refresher, the four-door is fitted with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine (3.0-liter) generating an impressive 508 horsepower. Its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox sends power to all four wheels through a fourth-generation Haldex XWD system. With a decent driver behind the steering wheel, the Polestar can crack the 60 mph benchmark in about 3.7 seconds as it rushes towards a top speed in excess of 186 mph.

Volvo has said that this Polestar-modified S60 was built for a specific client who paid upwards of $300,000 for the pleasure of owning it. But as they say, if there is market demand for more...

Volvo S60 is a luxury sedan belonging to the D segment of deluxe cars. The pumped-up S60 Polestar houses the same 3.0-liter inline six cylinder petrol engine found in the S60 that is the platform for this performance edition. The S60 Polestar actually beats the M3 and C63 AMG. The transmission is 6-speed manual and sends its power to a Haldex all-wheel drive system.

They should build it, it's a good looking Volvo and that's rare, maybe email them your thoughts about the blue so they know next time that it's a problem. I would of liked to see this in white or black with some slight tones though.
