This man speaks the definition of swedish english
+TheJawaah He's basically the Volvo version of Mr. Koenigsegg. The voice and accent is on point.
+Khalil Yassine haha true that my friend
+TheJawaah Try Petter Solberg, and you get the Norwegian English :)

Funny, he doesn't seem to be Chinese, at all.
volvos are underrated, volvo engines are great for tuning
People always say that Mercedes's are overengineered. Well, Volvos are too. The old redblock straight 4 Volvo engine has been tuned to 500-600hp and is able to take it. Some Volvo dragracing specials have coaxed 1000hp from the redblock straight 4. The modern, modular straight-6 are durable and overengineered too.
Nothing is like the allmighty t5
I really like the 2.4 diesels myself, volvo might as well put a guarantee on 350 hp when you try to tune the ones with turbos. Modify the air intake a little and you likely got that 350 with the same fuel economy as the default 205.
This volvo has stock enginee?? Who knows???
Honda and Toyota for tuning
Base price: 31.900$
As tested: 300.000$
Seems legit
tombax338 that not us dollars
+s60polestar fan What kind of dollar are they talking about then?? Australian dollar??
This is the concept not the production polestar.....
This is my new favorite color. I want to have my car painted this color!
+ThingsDemystified its called polestar blue :)
Well the correct name for the color is "Rebel Blue".
same
@@jetonnikollaj2991 lol whatever...
ive seen that color in Focus ST with white wheels , also in MK6 GTIs
is it named color ...
looks to me what io would call turqoise blue ?
I love my 2003 S60 T5. 5-Speed manual, 247HP from a 5-cylinder engine.
wow... my S60 puts out just under 325HP and its an S60T... I think you're figuring low on your car's performance. Maybe being manual has something to do with it.
Gregory Downey Maybe being manual has something to do with it. hahaha damn ... do you have an idea of what you are talking about?
LOL. Specs on mine say 247hp and 243fp torque. Damn good for a 5 cylinder.
Lado Zhividze I know this is 5 months old, but I had to laugh at his comment as well haha
+William Hawley Hell yea dude in-line 5's are pretty cool little guys. When I had my 98 s70 which I believe had something like 222horse and 236 lb ft, people would ask if it was a v6. Id say no, its a 5 cylinder. Of course not a lot of people think they even exist, but when someone wanted to race, i'd point at the engine and say "that little guy? don't worry about that little guy..."
IT'S A STRAIGHT SIX!
Its inline......
Yes some of the best and most iconic sports cars of all time a 6ers
V6 INLINE straight
6 is a good number
Add a turbo to any of the above and its even better
Finally, a Volvo that I want to buy! Gimme gimme!!!
only if you have 200 000 €
Nino isus
Nope... The 2015 production model is a 350hp production car not the $250k 500hp concept car...
He thinks on this car.. this car coste 200 000 € it has 508 hp and also new will have 3 cylinders with 520 hp and 600+nm torqe.. thanks to 3 turbos :-)
it has a 4banger 450hp 3 turbos and it's 60k
Volvo........... BUILD IT!!!!!!!
Joel Peñaló of course they failed to do it. INSTEAD A 340hp version of horseshit
i want one, make more of them. i'd take this over any bmw, mercedes or audi any day of the week
indigoBIue too bad they never did. They are always blowing smoke. Thry will never make a car like this. Nobody wants it and the people who do don't represent enough of the market
I saw this car today here in Sweden and it looked awesome in "real life"
I love my 2015 S60 T6 AWD with the Polestar chip 325hp with 354 ft-lbs at 3600lbs
Put it into production and my life will be complete. Total badass of a car.
$300,000 as tested.. yeah right i'd buy an ///M3 and a house.
Haha!! I couldn't have said it better! That's waaaay too much for a Volvo...I don't care how much HP it has.
aquateen77723 Its a concept car and they are only making six of them hence the price...
loppar3 You seem to understand
XxMetalGorxX that not us dollars
how much hp and torque does M3 have?
About 12 years ago as a broke college student I picked up an 87 740 turbo with a manual trans for a few grand. Simply by tightening a screw on the waste gate I raised the boost from 8 to 12 psi. That car was pretty quick, enough to surprise the heck out of a lot of people. Ugly as sin though :)
I want that car.
Now that's a Volvo i actually want
if they make this a production car. im definitely buying one forsure!
joshuaiscool125 Volvo is already selling them for 2017. they're $60k on their website and only produce 362hp. but it's a perfect alternative to an m3
20 years from now this will be one of the rarest cars in the world. It may very well end up being worth this price.
Gotta love that 5cyl turbo engine and the genuine volvo feeling while driving.
Had a C70 T5 a few years ago, and loved it.
Cheers from Sweden! :)
This car is what dreams are made of! Thanks for posting
I love the subtle body changes, they go along way to improving the s60's looks.
They shouldve put this model into production❤❤❤
Such a pretty car. I love both this and the Polestar C30. Genuine masterclass on Volvo tuning.
In terms of exclusivity, this car is as "exotic" as it gets. They are only building 6 of them, which means if they never actually start producing these, it'll end up a very nice car to have in your collection. I can see this car selling for much more than $300k in 20 years if all they ever build is 6.
So gorgeous, this is pure car with manual.. i like it!!
Not a fan of blue but that blue is sick
Amazing video! It's one of the ultimate Volvo's at the moment.
I never before even took a second look at the Volvo after seeing this car and if you guys going to make it I'll be the first one at the dealership to pick one up don't let the good thing such as this car to go to waste I personally like to own one S60 Polestar
Li Shufu, the world is screaming at you - build this S60!!!!!!
i dont see any problem. it looks MUCH better than other modern saloon cars on the market today. Really fine swedish design
Incredibly beautiful
Folks remember when AMG, BMW M and Mercedes started out small. The stratosphere price only represents a test to the market. I own a volvo S60 now. This is my second volvo. It will only be a matter of time when Volvo signs on to a larger production commitment. I am all in. Love the cars and look forward to a production piece soon. They continue to kick butt in the WTC circuits. Patience is the word. Well done Polestar.
I own a 1998 Volvo V70R, and is it fast and fun to drive. It is 15 years old and still kicks some serious ass out on the roads. Volvo's aren't just safe my friend, they're QUALITY vehicles. Their mandate isn't to manufacture and sell as many cars as possible, they take pride in what they produce and perfect it.
Whew! I was puzzled when I saw the screen, and there was no way my "sophisticated calculations" gave me a rational result, lol...cheers mate!
The normal S60 T6 has 300 horsepowers. And Automatic transmission is just confirmed for Australia, they have not yet released any info about the rest of our global market. And 0-100 or 0-62 in 4,9 sec is not bad.
Holy smokes im in love. This car is a beauty. Take my money now.
Thought I couldn't see for a second I went back and checked again lol
hello im kuwaiti i have this car is very beautiful i love swedish cars
Neighbor has one, sounds awesome.
Were you driving on Highland in Hollywood last week? When you passed, I nearly had a heart attack! LOVE
I hope they make this into production I would literally trade my s60r for this
really awesome car. sounds really good, the benz E class lights looks good on it.
Volvo may not be your type of car, but still there are many products and brands in this world that attracts different people. GTR may attracted you more than a Volvo. But there are many rich people in this world who likes this Volvo car. Volvo known for their safety for the driver and the passengers. The Market in this world are big and it attracted different people.
Gotta love that crazy rear camber on that Racing C30.
after all, this is a true Volvo for Volvo by Polestar and not just some tuner someone built in a garage with special parts you can't buy of a shelf or on the internet. Theres the $270.000
I know it's not production, but this is the car of the year, i.m.o.
It costs 300,000 because its basically a concept car. Its not a mass produced production model. If they actually mass produced it, it would cost about the same as BMW M3 or Audi RS4.
they are already united, volvo just have to approve the build
Please Volvo, listen to this man! Polestar wants to work with you, and we want you to work with them.
straight six ftw 💪the sound remind me of the 1jz.. the spool and then comes the scream 😍😍
You said thanks for watching... I say thanks for sharing something outside the " box".
Keep in mind that this is basically a thoroughbred polestar race car with the sensibilities of your average S60. If you were a true Volvo enthusiast and track day hero, with a ton of cash, then I could see this being bought in a heartbeat. A lot of time went into developing this vehicle and making it what it is, by hand. For a true collector, this is a one in six piece. You will never see another one on the road. For some people, that is worth $300k.
volvo s60 polestar is my favorite car and company I wish I hope I get one when I grow up
As a Swede, I might be seen as impartial, but still this is so true.
Well written and great all around coverage of the story Basem. that sort of solid, well balanced coverage is not the norm so I appreciate the sense that all the valid points worth mentioning were covered, given the time allowed of course... It may seem like a small detail but I think anyone in the car industry primarily due to their love of cars, probably knows what I mean. thank you...
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL
Polestar sounds like a stripper's name
I read this when the video said "elbow deep" lol
Dre Beley My stage name is Platinum Spice ;)
Alexander Rodriguez me too lmao
I say it is overpriced but not overpriced at the sane time.They do still have all the safety and a suede interior.
they should go full production of this car, sedan and wagon both with the 6 spd manual or some form of automatic. this could put some pressure on the germans, they don't offer the old school stick shift that so many still adore and this is cheaper.... I think. similar power to the alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio which offers a stick shift also but rwd only. just imo this is a very special car, there should be far more than 6 being made!
Admittedly, the price is exorbitant. But when the volume of produced cars goes up the price will be able to drop dramatically and make if affordable for a much bigger audience. Even for fans of the fast ( yet somewhat overengineered) GTR.
What a beautiful design
That's either Lone Pine Canyon Rd off the 138 to Route 2 or Route 2 itself which I like taking my GTi around :)
this car looks solid as hell. it would be such a nice additional option to what is already out there. A freaking 500 hp volvo? haha this thing would turn more heads than the exosrcist
300k is cheap for a 1 of 6
Wizard Pikachu it is and they are prototypes.
I could take a T-6 to a Volvo dealer, upgrade my T-6 to polestar for a few grand, then take it to a tuner to increase the intake, add the body kit on, paint it polestar blue and BAM!
@@ashwinmoses8277 But you would not have a manual gearbox...
@@hanslyth7844 I'd have to switch it out. It'd be a process.
@@ashwinmoses8277 insta profit
damn what a car!!!
Copying Mercedes Benz can be a good choice.
Schwanzel Stock What do you mean? This car is based on their racing history
loool except volvos beat mercedes during the 50s in races
The GTR is very noisy on normal roads though. You get a very exclusive car, though it is a lot. I've driven a stock manual S60 myself, and it's brilliant.
you´re totally right
This car just looks amazing!
That is a fair statement.
The lexus LFA wasn't bulit for profit either remember everytime a LFA leaves a dealership they lose money. And atleast its a car you can look at and say it might not be a lambo but is a great work of engineering. What polestar has done here was make a car say "This is what we would want an S60 to be" and charge you for all the man hours they took in building it. And honestly I know they can do better and will do better because it is a car they want in production.
Always on Angeles Crest but never stopping at Newcombs. bummer
This would be the biggest sleeper of all time...
I love how no one understands that this is a concept car...
I love volvo and have owned many. But volvo will always have that same stereotype in my eyes for this exact reason...They dont take any risk. The c30 and s60 are perfect platforms for sport packages and while they somewhat address it with the "R" and Polestar upgrade, its still got nothing on M, AMG, and S line Audi. Volvo step it up and mass produce these beasts and I swear there will be a great demand for these cars and a much hotter target demographic.
swedish racing green is the coolest blue color period
Such a beautiful car
I know manuals are the best transmission choice, but imagine the acceleration with a dual-clutch transmission! The damn thing already does 3.9 to 60 WITH a manual.
300,000 ! outrageous
lol. Volvo's brake preeetty darn good! Pretty sure my 740 turbo brakes better than an M3. Volvo's have always focused on safety, and good brakes are a safety feature. And besides. If you havent already seen it. The Volvo did just buttrape Audi and BMW around a track. Beating them with almost 5 seconds, so apparently it both brakes and handles better than an M3 :)
Beautiful rear end!
i just love that color!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!
Christmas is around the corner....oh Santaaaa....!
There must be a production model i.e. the infamous 247mill --- that looks similar because I saw one yesterday in Seattle.... interesting.
Rumors are now hot and heavy that the S60 Polestar will be sold in Australia as a test. If they do well there, then maybe the US and Europe. Just hope the Aussies buy them in sufficient numbers for the test to be considered a success. Tremble in fear, BMW.
Cool little car. Love the color.
I like this 100 times more than a Japanese car !
That unidentified buyer is Jay Leno.
Ok Polestar built it. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. Happy? And did you bother to read my second statement before you made your second statement? I said they priced it TO MAKE SOME MONEY OUT OF IT.
Kind of looks like a mix between an E class and an XF. I like it though!
Sweet car. I love the S60R.
300k? Looks like I can't mod my S60 then :D Love this car!
I want one!
People need to realize that this car costs so much because it isn't a production car. I can imagine this car costing 50kish if it was actually put into production.
I want it in gran turismo 6 when it comes out.
Hell yes Volvo work with and make the s60 Just like this and I would buy two of them
I agree with you even though you have to realise that the Lexus LFA is great marketing for Lexus and they probably profit from selling LFAs even though the actual car is more expensive to make than to buy. You must also compare how much money these two companies have. Only guessing i'd say Lexus can afford a stunt like that while polestar might not. You prove a good point however and the LFA has the look of a supercar while the s60 looks like a family sedan.
This is cool and dandy but i believe they could have gone further by putting their Super V8 engine in this. The V8 they tuned has been used to great sucess and it would have been amazing in this car.
would be hard though as that v8 is high profile due to its independent throttle bodies buy that would be awesome though for the tire size it uses even with awd 650hp would be overkill unless u get even larger tires
Was thinking off buying one off these to replace my S4 till he announced the price!
Love it! Wish I could drive it!
I still love this car, I wish they built it😢😢😢😢
