The new Volvo S60 R-Design pack includes a sharp new bodykit including a low chin spoiler on the front (so sharp it will scrub out on driveways if you're not careful), a piano black grille with an 'R-Design' badge, and a racy rear diffuser setup at the back. There's also a subtle boot lip spoiler and dark-accented 17-inch alloys to top it off. As far as equipment goes, the T6 R-Design comes with the same 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six Ford SI6 engine as the standard T6, producing 224kW of power and 440Nm of hill-flattening torque. The interior is then filled with everything a modern driver needs, including a comprehensive multifunction LCD display with sat-nav, electric front seats, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a sunroof and push-button engine start/stop.
2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge T8 AWD in Denim Blue Design Preview
Volvo revealed the new S60 midsize sedan, and it seems like we might have a real sleeper on our hands. The top-of-the-line S60, the T8 hybrid, offers 400 hp from a turbo- and supercharged four-cylinder driving the front wheels plus an electric motor at the rear axle. And if that's not enough, there's a Polestar-Engineered version with 415 hp and a hefty 494 lb-ft of torque. According to Automotive News, the S60 T8 Polestar Engineered will do 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds. That doesn't make it an all-out BMW M3-fighter, but it does put this S60 on par with all-wheel drive sports sedans like the Audi S4 and Mercedes-AMG C43—which do 0-60 mph in 4.3 and 4.1 seconds, respectively, per Car and Driver—all while offering subtle good looks that'll totally fly under the radar. The Polestar upgrades don't stop at engine tuning, either. The S60 T8 Polestar Engineered gets new dampers designed in partnership with Öhlins, big Brembo brakes behind 19-inch forged wheels, and a strut-tower brace under the hood. There's also some styling upgrades inside and out to signify to those in the know that this is no ordinary Volvo.
Volvo S60 R-Design captures the thrill of a spirited driving experience characterised by style, response and control. The optional R-Design Sport chassis has been lowered and stiffened for even better cornering - meaning you'll enjoy the thrill of driving your S60 even more." The R-Design story continues in the interior, starting with supportive sport seats in Nubuck textile and leather. Also included is an exclusive R-Design steering wheel as well as sport pedals. A gear shifter gaiter with contrasting stitching, our unique blue R-Design digital driver display, interior LED lighting and a striking Inscription charcoal headliner all add to the R-Design experience.
