No automaker becomes famous for making safe, boring and efficient car. But volvo is about all those things, plus a bit of sensible Swedish design on top. So while engineers have been working on airbags for the people you hit and four-cylinder engines that replace the T6, a fire has been brewing inside of them.
Last week, we showed you the first spy photos taken in Sweden of a covered up S60, rumored to be the new hot version of the car that uses all-wheel drive and offers as much as 400 horsepower.

Volvo has already made it clear that Polestar is supposed to become a soft of performance division. The tuner is already responsible for their race cars and the famous C30 Polestar, a one-off car that offers a monster 400 hp T5 engine.

Despite this expertise with turbocharging, the S60 R performance sedan is rumored to be a V8 powered car, though the T6 can not be ruled out.

Based on week’s spyshots, the first rendering of the S60 R Polestar has been created by our friends at PS-Garage. The car sits lower to the ground and offers up bigger air intakes. But the similarity to Audi’s S4 makes us believe this is a more focused car with about 350 hp, not a true monster.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
