Polestar Performance Volvo C30 - Click here for the press release
Volvo has unleashed Polestar Performance on the lovable C30 hatch to create a new prototype. If that name sounds familiar to you, odds are you spend a fair amount of time downloading footage of the Swedish Touring Car Championship. Polestar Performance has been banging fenders since 1996, and has campaigned a C30 for two seasons now. But Volvo wanted to see exactly what the team could create without any pesky race regulations looming over them.
The result sounds mighty tasty to us. Polestar's wrenches managed to pull around 400 horsepower from the car, though so far the team is keeping engine details to themselves. All that power goes to the ground via an all-wheel-drive system, and judging from the grainy rendering, it looks like we can expect a substantial amount of work on the C30's suspension and aero package. The proto should see the light of day for the first time at the Gothenburg Motor Show on April 22.
