CORRECTION: the steering wheel is NOT out of a Ford Mondeo, though they do look very similar. Here's the Mondeo wheel for reference...

btw, did you know there is a sport + +? ;) most ppl on volvo or polestar diddnt even know about this
10:56 My parents have had a 2012 S60 D2 R-design since I was a kid, and that remote was awesome! I was always controling the radio, and playing the same 3 songs that I liked on a specific CD... Ahhh, good times. :)
The little Polestar symbols on the factory wheels is pretty cool
Hey Gregson, thanks for the awesome Volvo polestar content, love ur car but didn't realize how rare she is!😉
Thanks Charles and thanks for watching! Yea I was a bit surprised as to how rare these were as well. It's pretty crazy.
Love the volvo videos! Keep it up man!!
Glad you like them!
Damn, that's hot! Sounds like a great sleeper car option (literally I wish I could hear one irl!) and I'd love to have another Volvo. Great vid :)
FORD TRANSIT VAN gives you the gph burnt as well and that was first vehicle that i've seen the option on.
Just picked up my white 2016 P* in November. It’s great, though I wish the infotainment was upgraded. My on call works still, maybe it’s because I’m in Canada. It’s annoying that the car shuts off as soon as you open the door.
I love your videos man!! I absolutely adore your V60, so jealous lol.
Thanks to Ford and Volvo I can park my Volvo XC60 T6 3.0 up front with the Fords at the Ford KY Truck Plant lol.
Thanks so much for watching dude! Haha that's awesome about your Volvo at the Ford plant. Love it.
Regarding unique interior features, I believe the center screen and instrument cluster startup images are also unique to the polestars (Polestar logo in the center screen and the wagon silhouette in the gauge cluster screen).
Yes they are! Good shout. They are super cool too. Makes it feel very special on startup.
My Skoda Roomster 2015 do mpg/h when running stationary… can sand you a video
The engine was available from around 2007 in the P3 platform cars ,S60, V70 ect when ford still owned Volvo. I was lightly in Involved with the prototype building of the engine.
The engine was phased out so not to be using a ford engine, Hence the later polestar cars have a four-cylinder 2 L
A better gear box , but don’t sound any ware as nice
Will you add a larger radiator and intercooler?
As a volvo master tech I got to do the PDI on one of these..
Checking the launch controle was the best part.... for 3800lbs it turned pretty well too.
I now own a 2018 xc t5 with custom suspension, brakes, wheels and tune..
The t6 turbo charger is the bain of my existence with service advisories.
And dont get me started on the problems with the I6
A true sleeper.
Is the t6 not recommended?
@@jonolim4651now im worried about my 2015 rdesign. Running perfect at the moment but is there something I and my wallet should know??
Brutal car to drive in tight parking lots and downtown city streets. Same turning radius as a giant pickup truck. I use my shitty old Yaris around the city to avoid the stress and this out on the highway as thats where its true colours shine. It burns gas so fast in the city too but out on the highway I'm getting close to 30mpg at times which is pretty decent for a heavy sportscar running $1.95/l (cdn) premium gas.
You can use the number keys to dial a number tho
The 2017 V60 2.0 TS has 270kw or about 400bhp. They dropped the 6cly. Very hard to find.
I've had 3 cars that switch from liters/100km to liters per hour when idling, a 1996 HSV (Holden Commodore) Senator, 2002 HSV R8 Clubsport, and a 2003 Ford Falcon...all Aussies. 🇦🇺
Suspension adjustability ?
There are 15 actual polestar built s60 concepts, wider track, built engine and 500bhp at the wheels all rebel blue and cost €250,000.
50 pre-production heico polestar S60s in Australia.
Launch in the new polestar engineered cars is even easier. Put in d mode, foot on brake and floor it, release the brake within 2secs. It’s faster but sounds terrible if left stock.
Modify the hell out of it.
It needs an intercooler, turbo back, crank shaft, ported and flowed, wider track, etc because that’s what polestar actually did 500bhp at the wheels - get after it.
I don’t have one because petrol costs $20+ a gallon in the UK and most of Europe (it’s why we don’t understand how little bhp american cars produce per litre)
The best video to watch for all the true polestar people, is jay lenos s60 polestar. The head of polestar performance literally tells you everything. So to be clear there are only 15 true polestars every made and they are only s60s before that there are a few c30s.
Get some of those sequential smoked mirror turn signals. They will help with the blacked out look fo sho.
And a CC grille would be *chefs kiss*
Yes! This would look super good. Great suggestions.
You can remote start the car by pressing lock then pressing and holding the light button for a few seconds until the side markers begin to flash.
I don't think that works in all markets or all model year. Just tried it on mine, and it didn't work.
This only works with the ERS remote, we didn't get that in the US.
@@shiftinglanesgarage Can it be added by the dealer here in the States?
You don’t need the other remote. You do need the module to be activated updated to recognize the signal from the key. That’s what the dealership told me when I asked.
I wonder what you could use that blank button for?...
Also, can remote start be added to US cars at the dealer?
Blank button is for backseat headrests in S60! It drops them down to see when u back up.
@Jaakko Laakso The V60 Polestar has that too. The blank was for Eco in the 2017 and 2018 Polestars. I just thought it would be cool to assign it another function. Maybe aftermarket subwoofer or lights or something?
@@tdevans11 I think it could be done since the button is there already. I have a D6 plug in hybrid and I have a missing button because of the headrests. The button layout also varies a lot between different P3 volvos. The D6 has 2 driving modes in the panel and some have for example the internet button and the whole panel layout changes from that. It really doesnt make sense to me.
Hey, does your car not have fully adjustable ohlins
It does have these!
Transverse mounted because of safety design. Sadly it kills weight distribution and turn radius which sucks with these i6 engines.
is there not a v60 t6 blackR polestar with from 2013?
Not in the US or Europe. The only place that got Polestar cars prior to 2015 was Australia. They got a test run in 2013 to see if it was globally feasible to make the cars. Massive success and the rest is history. Prior to this, the sportiest trim was the R-design which you can have optimized with a factory polestar tune. Not a true Polestar car, but still quite potent!
@@shiftinglanesgarage ohh okey. Cus my v60 is calld v60 t6 awd backr polestar. But then i guess it just is an r-design with polestar optimization.
Yea the wagons are pretty rare , even the sedans are rare. But I’d prefer the wagon
10:00 Youre wrong here, the auto button for the climate controll is literally right infront of you, the black button next to "AC" in the center. Press that and the climate controll goes back to "standard" settings + AC on. But youre correct that you cant sync both temps via one button twist.
Yes, correct! Misspoke when I said "Auto." There's an Auto button on the fan speed control, just no sync temperature button. I did not actually mean auto there. Good catch!
@@shiftinglanesgarage Love the vids, looking forward to seeing you develope this thing to a beast! I own one myself, silver 2016 3.0. Very awsome cars, keep up the good work!
I want one :'(
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ always
My caprice ppv gives me G/ph
Have you reached out to Doug to review your car? I guess he's probably a little too far away...
I haven't, but he likes to review unmodified cars. Mine will be modded within the next 2 months and I guarantee he won't have availability before then.
@@shiftinglanesgarage Gotcha. My plan is to get a stock one in the next year and reach out to him before I mod it. Maybe he'll travel to Seattle for such a cool car?
Based on what Doug has divulged about how he selects cars to review, he will probably want a pristine 2015 model year in Rebel Blue.
@@tdevans11 I’m in San Diego and reached out to him to check out my rebel blue 16 a couple days ago still haven’t heard back
@@austinpriest185 That's so awesome! Seems like that would be the perfect year and color for him. I hope he gets back to you!
does not look like ford's steering wheel at all
See the pinned comment
You got a lot of facts wrong... That is indeed not a Ford Mondeo steering, it was completely made by Volvo. Also that infotainment remote was something available primarily in P2 XC90's with Nav, not this car... Where'd you get your facts from??
Mine has a remote so he's right on that point.
These were looked up and people commented on a post about interesting things about the car from the Polestar owners' FB group. These were then cross referenced with forum posts and parts sites. If my facts are wrong, please cite sources and don't just blindly call me out with zero supporting data. Would gladly pin a comment with updated info, but you've provided none.
@@shiftinglanesgarage I’m a service advisor at a Volvo dealer, have only owned Volvos my whole life and have daily driven a 2016 S60 T6 for the past 4 years. I think I would’ve known this if your statements were correct. I’ve researched this on the internet and still can’t find what you’re referring to. Do you have links??
Here's a link referencing the remote: www.motor1.com/reviews/137421/2017-volvo-v60-polestar-wagon/
Here's the remote itself:
www.proxyparts.com/car-parts-stock/information/part-number/31346042/part/radio-remote-control/partid/15055547/
Looks like the parts numbers I looked up were off for the steering wheel. I'll pin a comment saying that was incorrect.
Here's the Mondeo/Fusion wheel:

wrong color :p
Volvo look cheap but cost lot
this V60 Polestar doesn't look cheap. it's from 2015, and it's timeless.
