Published by Drive, Chris Harris takes on the Volvo S60 Polestar, a high performance sub-brand for improved acceleration.

The car was driven from Sweden to the UK to avoid the snow, but instead it snowed in the UK. Still, Harris got a chance to play with it. It’s a small-volume concept for now, but the team had a C63 on display to add some perspective.

The saloon, with manual gearbox offers more than 500hp from a transversely mounted V6 engine and described by Harris as a “loopy” car even by loopy standards and makes for an extremely unusual S60 driving experience.
