Flappy paddle tho :) 350bhp, AWD 376mm drilled front disks with 6 pot brembos and the V60 looks bloody stunning!
and 20" wheels :yikes:
Going to need very deep pockets to run this motor ,road tax and tyres ,petrol are going to be a killer for it. Then showroom price for company car tax is not going to be good either. If they sell any 3-4 years down the road I would have one.:eclipsee_
As per my reply on PH: As much as I like the look (and boy does it look good :) ) and idea of the V60 Polestar I'd still take the latest S4 Avant over one....Audi just do AWD performance that bit better.

Do you follow Chris Harris on PH/Twitter? he loves his tweaked Longterm S4 Avant.

it's looks nice but i lost interest when it mentioned flappy paddle gearbox and that it's not going to be delivered in Polestar Blue i lost my interest [video=youtube;QqhXruKrIHo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqhXruKrIHo[/video]
I think it looks stunning but I too yearn for the MT version.
The upcoming S60 and V60 Polestar will make the old V70 and S60 'R' models feel like a milk float by comparison. With a factory standard of 350 hp, 500 nm torque and a 0 - 62 time of 4.9 seconds, can you imagine the results of a remap on a Polestar! Yikes, you may even get the 0 - 62 time down to around 3 seconds. I can see the forum threads 10 to 20 years from now!
Not sure if anybody has seen this but here's the official page: http://www.nextpolestar.com/#/showcase Spec as below: Performance 0-100 km/h4.9 sec 0-200 km/h17.7 sec 80-120 km/h4.7 sec Top Speed250 km/h / 155 mph – Electronically limited Transmission AWF21 automatic gearbox with paddle shift system Polestar Transmission Calibration For faster gearshifts, launch control and curve-hold functionality Polestar Haldex Calibration For more rear torque dynamic distribution Polestar Calibrated Stability Control System Engine 6-cylinder inline T6 engine, 2953 cc 257 kW (350 hp) @ 5700 rpm 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) @ 2800-4750 rpm Max 6500 rpm New twin-scroll Borg Warner turbo New intercooler Polestar 2.5” stainless full-flow exhaust system with 3.5” tail pipes Brakes Front Polestar/Brembo 6 piston brake calipers 371x32 mm ventilated and floating Brembo discs Rear 302x22 mm ventilated discs Chassis Polestar Öhlins shock absorber system Polestar bespoke rims, 8x20” ET53 with 245/35R20 tyres Weight S60 Polestar1752 kg V60 Polestar1822 kg
3.0 Litre T6 engine is what they stuck in the P3 V70, Mmmm, one of those + a remap = Power!
