"It is about creating performance that can be used in all situations, no matter if it's about winning a championship or being able to enjoy a safe, functional and fun-to-drive vehicle all year."- Tom von Bonsdorff added. The base of the new engine carries motorsport technology with solutions like the combination of turbo and supercharger, lightweight materials and more.

"Other go-faster enhancements over the standard S60 include a sports tuned chassis with pure carbon fibre strut braces up front, a stiffer suspension setup featuring Polestar Öhlins manually adjustable dampers, a stainless steel active exhaust system, Brembo ventilated and slotted brake discs, and 20" wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Volvo Cars says "The safest sedan in its segment just became safer".
