This is something rather special: a Volvo V60 T8 Recharge Polestar Engineered Estate (2.0 Petrol Plug-in Hybrid, 8-Speed Automatic, AWD, Euro 6, 405 PS). This is Volvo's performance flagship of the V60 range, combining genuine performance-car engineering with the practicality of a premium five-door estate. It is an incredibly capable car that can be driven quietly and efficiently when required, yet has the hardware and powertrain to become seriously quick when you want to enjoy it. The headline figure is 405 PS and 670 Nm of combined torque, produced by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine working alongside an electric motor driving the rear axle. The petrol engine is both turbocharged and supercharged, while the electric motor provides instant torque at the rear, giving the V60 genuine all-wheel-drive traction and an incredibly responsive power delivery. The result is 0-62 mph in around 4.6 seconds - remarkable performance for a practical family estate. What makes the Polestar Engineered particularly interesting is that Volvo didn't simply increase the power and call it a performance model. The chassis was comprehensively re-engineered. It features a bespoke Polestar Engineered suspension setup with adjustable Öhlins Dual Flow Valve dampers, allowing the damping to be fine-tuned to suit the driver and road conditions. The front and rear suspension is also specifically tuned for increased control and body stability, giving the V60 much sharper responses through corners whi
