New Polestar optimisation makes XC90 T8 the most powerful Volvo ever
15 Jun 2016|2,917 views
The Polestar optimisation increases the XC90's performance to 421bhp and 680Nm of torque and 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, all this with unchanged, class-leading consumption of 2.1L/100km and 43km of pure electric range.
The new generation Polestar optimisation does not only optimise the engine performance, but rather the entire drivetrain in five key areas. By improving throttle response, gearshift hold, speed and precision, as well as overall engine performance, the XC90 T8 reaches a new level of driving pleasure.
"Just a week after the introduction of the S90 and V90 optimisation, we move forward by launching our optimisation for the exciting and technically advanced XC90 T8 Twin Engine. This gives customers who want a new level of driving pleasure with their XC90 an easily accessible and attractive performance increase," said Niels Moller, Chief Operating Officer of Polestar.
One of the main features of the new optimisation is the gear hold function that holds the selected gear during cornering at high lateral G-forces. This prevents unwanted gearshifts mid-corner that can unsettle the balance of the car, providing the driver with improved response and control during active driving.
