WHEN DRIVING MATTERS
Performance by Sweden

Introducing Polestar, Volvo’s racing partner since 1996. Born on the racing circuits of Sweden and around the world, Polestar understands that races are not won in a single lap. To win races and championships, a car must reach the chequered flag. Every time. And in order to do so, it must be optimally balanced, safe and predictable. This same knowledge is applied to all Polestar’s products for road cars. So whether it’s a Polestar Performance Optimisation, Polestar Performance Parts, or a Polestar-engineered car, they all follow the same engineering philosophy.

MADE TO PERFORM
-
A number of interior and exterior components, for example a spoiler, door decor, door sill and gear knob, as well as the Chassis Package, Wheel Package and the Intake & Exhaust Package.
-
A Polestar air filter and stainless exhaust system, providing improved engine breathing. The rear diffuser is designed to channel the air more effectively under the car, contributing to greater downforce.
-
The Chassis Package includes Polestar shock absorbers, which were developed for high performance without adversely affecting comfort, and a set of shorter, stiffer coil springs to help control body movement.
-
21'' (XC60) and 19" (S60/V60/V40) alloy rims with high performance tyres. The lightweight rims help with steering precision and were exhaustively tested in order to find the optimal level of grip.
Polestar Performance Optimisation
Drive-E is Volvo’s most advanced powertrain ever. As a result, the Polestar engineers focused on five critical performance areas when developing the new generation of Polestar optimisations. They took a holistic approach and developed software upgrades to both the engine and gearbox. Together, they deliver a faster, more precise and intuitive driving experience.
