Both the S60 and V60 Polestar use the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder which is both supercharged and turbocharged to produce 362bhp and 470Nm of torque.

Polestar has fitted the engine witha larger turbo, new connecting rods, different camshafts, a larger air intake, and a higher capacity fuel pump to help extract the extra power from the engine.

All the power and torque is sent to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Volvo has also slashed weight by 24 kilos over the front axle and 20 kilos over the rear.

0 - 100km/h takes 4.7 seconds and the top speed is limited to 250km/h.

To ensure that the cars come to a halt better, Polestar has fitted both cars with 371mm slotted brake discs which are hidden behind the 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels.

Volvo has doubled the number of Polestar badged cars they will produce in a year to 1500 as it has increased the number of countries the blue-badged cars will be sold in from 13 to 47.
