Production of all new Volvo V60 Polestar begins

The first Volvo V60 Polestar cars have left the Volvo Torslanda factory plant on their way to customers around the world as production has begun.

The Volvo factory in Torslanda celebrated 50 years recently with a total of over 6.8 million cars having been produced, starting with the Amazon model in 1964 and all the way to the new V60 Polestar today. The Polestar model also marks the first ever independent partner being introduced to the production process.

A total of 750 cars will be produced of the S60 and V60 Polestar model this year, heading to customers in Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K. and the U.S.A. The U.K. market is receiving the most with 125 cars, all of which will be fully specified with every factory option possible.

The new Volvo V60 Polestar features a thoroughly developed chassis with high-performance dampers and brakes, which in combination with four-wheel drive and 350bhp from a turbocharged six-cylinder engine creates a driver's car for all year.
