Volvo's 508hp S60 Polestar Performance Versus the BMW M3 and Audi RS4 Avant

Well, the answer to that question really depends on which game you are referring to since die Deutsche brands have spread their wings in just about every niche there is. So let's be more specific: can a performance orientated Volvo family car threaten two of Germany's finest and fastest mid-size sports models, the BMW M3 and the Audi RS4? If we're talking about the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/volvo-s60-polestar-performance-sedan.html">Volvo S60 Polestar Performance sedan</a>, it certainly has the brute force to do so. The only problem is that, for now, the S60 Polestar Performance is a one-off model that has yet to receive the green light for even a limited series production run. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/volvo-508hp-s60-polestar-performance.html#more">Read more »</a>

The first thing you will need to know about the performance version of the S60 is that it is a <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/volvo-s60-polestar-is-one-off-concept.html">one off model</a> developed by Volvo Cars Official Motorsports and its racing and tuning partner Polestar for an as of yet unnamed client. However, there's a ray of light for those that are gawking at this concept as the two brands stated that "a small series of Polestar modified S60s may be built pending market response".

While some sources believed that it may use the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/05/spy-shots-is-volvo-preparing-400hp-s60.html">XC90's Yamaha-built V8</a>, Polestar based the car on the S60 T6. The regular model is motivated by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six delivering 300hp (304PS) to all-four wheels for a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 250km/h (155mph). <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/new-volvo-s60-polestar-performance.html#more">Read more »</a>
