We Are Polestar

We Are Polestar

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2015-11-13
Brace yourself for an upsurge in thrill, excitement, power and performance to be delivered to your senses by the luxury car brand Volvo.

Polestar is not coming to South Africa, it is here. Volvo Cars Umhlanga has a Volvo S60 Polestar waiting for you to take for a test drive today. Two hundred and fifty eight kilowatts of power with five hundred Newton meters of torque is very lively to say the least.

Polestar is to Volvo what AMG is to Mercedes-Benz, and their goal is quite clear, "...the goal is always the same: To deliver best possible results. No matter what."

Another part of their goal is to be up there amongst the top contenders in the world of motorsport, enhancing and capitalizing on the strength and agility that is naturally inherent in the Volvo brand.

The three litre, six cylinder turbocharged T6 engine from Volvo has already turned a lot of heads and made a mark for itself in the motorsport world.

The Polestar S60 is an All-Wheel-Drive breath-stealing machine that drops the hammer from zero to a hundred kilometers per hour in just four point nine seconds. Fitted with Brembo brakes for that extra stopping power that is very much needed with this powerhouse.

In Vovlo's words, "A performance car is by definition a fine-tuned instrument, where every component has the purpose of maximising driveability and control, ensuring both an exciting and confident drive. The S60 and V60 Polestar is the result of nearly two decades of racing experience and know- how from exploring the limits of Volvo cars.

Together with Volvo's own engineers and their expertise of building cars for the open road, we have developed a performance car for real life. A car that performs on all roads, in all conditions, all year around. In our minds, this is the optimal performance car."

If you only test drive one car this year, make it the Polestar S60, call 031 571 2600 or visit Volvo Cars Umhlanga at 6 Sunset Close, Umhlanga Ridge.
