Please put this into production and let the world know Volvo is returning to the fast car market. Not only Germany can produce fast car. I am one of many who are now driving Volvo.
i still believe!!!
Sadly, Volvo is lost. Volvo (and Sweden in general) is too environmentally concious for Volvo to make a performance combustion vehicle ever again. The downfall began with the last T5 and T6.
Great video BUT they should have tested the non prototype polestar (much slower and much more set up for daikly traffic) which is real competition for M3 and RS4
Fully agree. Not a fair comparison.
Who loves germans cars, never drove a Volvo.
Volvo has the most comfortable seats in the car market, nowadays. Furthermore, Volvo makes cars which are very safe. Safety and comfort is in first place for Volvo. They aren't like the germans who only care about performance. Those old times where people thought that the germans build the best cars, are gone. It´s great that Volvo creates cars like this one, the Volvo Polestar S60. This really shows that germans aren't alone in the market.
Volvo for life.

RWD models that Volvo made
***** I mean new cars. I need a new car till the end of the year and it will be most likely a BMW 4 Series or an "older" E Class.

Well, i guess they didn't see a point in continuing the RWD models when they could go AWD.
But remember, if you got the ambition to tinker with a car, an old Volvo will take quite a bit of abuse as all the part except the engine are a lot bigger and tougher than they need be.
As a 70 year old Volvo enthusiasts, Volvo seats have always been the most comfortable in a car all the way back to my 1961 122S Amazon that I bought when I was 19 in 1968. 10 Volvos later (I still have 4 and the newest is a 1998 V70 Cross County with 228,000 miles on it) the seats are still ver comfortable. Maintenance is the key to keeping a car road worthy. In December of 2016, I flew to California and drove back my 1989 Volvo 760 Turbo to Georgia through a blizzard 6 below zero at night without a problem.
Volvo the best.. Volvo for life!!
This guy did a great job with the video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 V O L V O
I started w an S40 in 2000 and loved it, as a general porpous car, then jumped onto a 2003 S60 t5
Really nice drive and fun enough for a daily drive, very safe and extremely comfortable for any kind of situation Any beat the crap of lots of Germs, but still had the favor for my e46 m3, Only for the extreme moments and not as an every day driver, to stiff and not as safe nor as comfortable as my t5, suddenly S60 r came on the scene, finally 2005 got me chance to get it and added a few moods to it, I turned into a dream all situation driving ultimate pleasure, m3 has to go so as t5, x3 3.0 replaced by an xc90 2004 t6 and so far I still drive them both, so far very sitisfied and happy to have taken the choice, s60r 400 bhp only goes out twice a week now but still a very nice pleasure to drive after 14 years, so as xc90 t6 320 bhp you can say I do honored the moto VOLVO for life, hopefully I can get my hands on a polestar any time soon..
I'm just glad such sedans are being made. It provides a benchmark for future production cars.
I own a 98 volvo s40 t4 with 260 hp, i love my car yeahhhh
Modified? There is no T4 s40 with 260hp.. standard goes with 199hp had one its slow :p
I've waited long enough for another manufacture who stands up to mess with german cars! I'm from germany. I like german cars ... but I'm bored of this monotony on the street. Now I got a alternative car. I like it's shape, I like it's design, I like it's power and I think volvo should produce more of such great cars!
great Volvo safe fast and beautiful....simply complete
Trevligt med opartiska bedömare.
volvo is the best car ever... im proud to have it... :)
My god, that Audi is probably the best thing I've ever heard.
Just for the report boys: It's a STRAIGHT 6 cylinder engine! ;-)
Btw: Polestar rocks!
Fantastic car...VOLVO!!!! ;-)))
we have volvo s80 sumsum d5 :D 58000 euro
@@rutgersmits8742 why tf would you drive a diesel?
Volvo recognizeable design is that have a huge shoulder in the rear, and that was effective for a side impact, others brands just got smack out, oh and also Flashback : that 3 Point setabelts that you see in nowadays car are born from volvo and volvo company reallize that 3 point seatbelts is important in a every cars so they didn't patent it.
Thats the most sexiest ,best sounding , pretty fast volvo. What a great job the did.!! Thumbs up if your a volvo fan
Volvo: ca. 1650kg, 508PS, AWD
BMW: ca. 1650kg, 420PS, RWD
Audi: ca. 1900kg, 450PS, AWD
What a suprise, the Volvo won ...
As a proud owner of a volvo and a motor enthusiast I love that this even happened. I don't care if anyone else does. And as far as some of you saying that Polestar did this for themselves: this car is on the floor at the chicago auto show as we speak. Obviously Volvo is curious at how something like this might be received...and they've definitely interested me. I love german cars. But I like seeing others beat them at their game or at least make an attempt by upping the ante.
You have to understand that he jokes around a bit at the same time he is serious. It does not translate well if you're not a native Swede...
You also have to understand that the Swedish people (especially the motor-community) needs something to be proud of. Since volvo used to have a more performace line-up during the 90's.
Since then, volvo have got chineese owner, saab has gone bust (screwed and abandond by GM). Simply put. We need this!
I have volvo xc90 with 300k miles and still going!
Except the fact that it's a fast car, Volvo is the car with the first ever seatbelts and airbags. Which all GERMAN cars use now. Call it a family car, call it ugly, call it slow. But that's a car in which no person will die from a car crash.
Stormcloak Shreds Huge Volvo fan and owner here but i just wanted to fact check you on a few things. Volvos were the first cars with seatbelts but actually it was Oldsmobile that first equipped airbags. Also, plenty of people will die from car crashes in modern Volvos, they are very good at avoiding collisions and protecting people in the event of a collision but there is still a limit to their protection.
Brn Wnthl nothing's perfect in on this would my friend but death from a car crash. Volvo will be the last car.
Ho made the seatbelts mercedes benz airbags by ford ... What made volvo ? ABS made and created by bosh germany turbo made and created by BMW jet engines same shit first turbo diesel car VW GTD golf first turbo europe productie car BMW 2002 turbo first n/a diesel car benz first ever made car on petrol benz !
Germans have the best engineers of the world like it or not
+Stormcloak Shreds "But that's a car in which no person will die from a car crash. " Utter nonsense. No car is death proof. Try driving one into a wall at 100km/h. Even with a seatbelt and airbag you're dead. Without a seatbelt you can sit in the safest car in the world, you'll still hit the dashboard at the speed the car travels in when it crashes. Seriously, how old are you??
Mercedes had airbags on their luxury cars in the early 80's, long before Volvo equipped them. Some American manufacturers already tested them in the late 70's but eventually removed them because they went off unexpectedly.
As for seat belts. Volvo did invent the *three point seat belt* but the regular waist seatbelt appeared in German and American cars in the 1940's already. Get that right.
And the safey. Listen. Go check out EuroNCAP crash tests. Back in 2002-2006 Volvo was leapfrogged by French, Italian and German cars who all did better in the crash tests for their respective car sizes. Today Volvo does well but they're not THE BEST - that's a commercial slogan they have gullible and easily swayed people eat up. Pretty much ALL modern cars are very safe today.
EuroNCAP tests don't lie.
German power no thanks lol .. Swedish power is the best power - Fact !
T5 + T6 for life :D

Volvos are only produced in China for the market over there, there's also Malaysia and Thailand. But most of the ones anyone would get in the western hemisphere are made in Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands and Canada.
S-60, it's the best automobile I've owned, love this car, Volvo for life.
so, where we can see a video from that side camera on volvo??
I am a VOLVO S60 T5 proud owner and a very happy one too, I must say I have nothing to complain about only good things to say...GOOD GOOD STUNNING, and so pleased to see the POLESTAR and want one so badly...well done VOLVO, well done SWEDEN
Checked. Hey I did not say that any of the above cars are bad, all are in fact awesome, and I would be happy to own them, including the fastest production volvo as well. But I just love the RS4, I just love it... :)
As a Volvo salesman I'm a bit Biased. The S60 T6 AWD Polestar I just sold yesterday is an absolute beast. I think the whole point people are missing is that Volvo was never even in this conversation and now all the sudden they are kicking on Audi,BMW and Lexus's door. Look at the market data for sales and you'll see. Numbers are numbers.
How do you compare a modified Volvo S60 with an old Mustang?
I cant see the resemblance...
I like the Volvo, but i cant take the laptimes for serious 😊
Yes, that is the point of the test. Check if it can compete, and so it can.
it's no longer a prototype. if you check the volvo webpage it says coming soon. at least that's what it says for puerto rico (pronto disponible en puerto rico)
"Den här bilen går... Som bara fa-an" -> "Is pretty fast". Understatement of the century.
I have a 12' BMW E92 M3 Coupe and I am a huge fan of this Volvo S60 Polestarr, although I hope Volvlo makes a 2-Door Coupe if this does ever go in to production. The M3 has always been a car with a chassis looking for a more powerful engine. Glad to see Volvo join the club.
Yeah i agree but check the link.
tnx for english subtitle!
Good to see a BMW guy actually giving other cars credit for a change. Instead of bashing all other cars and praising BMW like an ignorant child. Kudos.
i wish we actually got this car
can u tell me the price of a M3 prototype or the RS4 prototype?
remember the BMW and Audi is already in production while the Volvo is not, if thy decided to mass produce the car the price would have fell don't u think?
I could not agree more!
There is something special about Volvo, and I hope more than anything that they accomplish what they strive to do with the new Volvo s60 Polestar.
And who knows, maybe one day Volvo will be competing against more powerful cars, like M3, RS4 and maybe SL.
Would be awesome!
What a car! I want one.
Glourious 6-cylinder turbo engine sound and a fucking manual gearbox! I'm so in love with this beast...
This smells like patriotism :p
OK when it's an off the shelf production car that i can walk into a dealer and buy i'll get excited. Until then...this is nonsense!!
The translation of the swedish journalist is accurate.
volvo just got some more respect from me. and im a german car nut. their last few cars just look awesome, and if they start making these kinda versions you can add them to the european greatest list
@Omega08082 The prototype costed that much. If they are going to make it will obviosly not cost that much... -.-'
اروع سيارات في العالم هي فولقو انا من محبين سيارات الفولفو
I understand your reasoning, but thisVolvo is not a joke..getting from just a 3.0 inline 6 engine these amazing figures is really impressive (508hp,0-100 3.9 secs). It has a power of 374kW! Compare this with 309kW of BMW V8 M3 and 331kW of 4.2 V8 Audi RS5. Dont forget this is not a small car, its well above 1500 kgr and still provides for exceptional handling. Its not me telling these, there are tens of references on the internet, its reviewed by top gear and many well known motor specialists..
It is the driver who determines fast or not. The car only a vessel, but the brain and skills are under the steering wheel. For sure I choose Volvo ! Volvo for Life...
Polestar just knows how to setup a car. And this S60 is just crazy fast. I would love to see an indepent test to support this fact.
This wasn't a test of value for money or power or comparability. This was a test of ideals. They took Audi and BMW performance cars and put them up against a Volvo performance car, just to show what Volvo can do if you let them loose. Price and equality is another matter entirely. If Volvo were to enter the performance car market, they'll obviously have to do some changes if the S60 Polestar is to be competitive in the market.
Great car, but lots of work to be done if its going to become a reality. We live in hope.
Finally I can love something other than my '89 740 GLE 16-Valve. This is the sexiest car ever, thank you Polestar and Volvo; but most of all, thank you Sweden xx
Thank god for subtitle.
It is going to be in production.
nice place, nice game, nice car's, nice black/white to color picture, for 2mil. or what ever...
try to complaint German & Japan race cars :-),
but this test say nothing...(oftp: which tires was used on this cars?) > ;-)
I drive Volvo V60 D5 (R-Design) & I think this is a new china car (with very nice look & I love it)
this S60 looks like Europe's Sedan version of GT-R :
- impressive Engine
- impresive Handling
- far less Attractive
And what exactly do you mean with M5/RS5 specs?
I completely agree with you about the personal experience and feel.. Believe me, I'd rather have a fun and involving car than something that is 10 times as fast but completely alienates the driver from the driving. Since this video doesn't show anything unknown about the car, the least they could do is give us some lousy lap times. Guess I should be patient, and wait for someone to say, how good this car really is to drive...
I would love to see a V70 Polestar, I hope they make it one day!
What a comparison!!! Swedes rock!
As long as Volovo does not introduce an after market opponent to AMG, M or RS models, it is no fair show. When it comes to comparing prototypes, you could also use the VW Design Vision GTI. 3.0l TSI, 509 PS, 500 nm at 2000 rpm and 560 nm max.
I'm an M fanboy and this car looks amazing. If it were ever developed and was priced similarly to the M3, I'd have to do some serious reconsidering.
Soooo... Vulva needs a one-off prototype with roughly 100hp power advantage, and with double prize to compete and win against BMW and Audi with mass produced cars? Woohoo, I'm so thrilled!
"Listen to the exhaust!!" SHUTUP SO I CAN. I want to soo bad!
Where is the Problem. Polestar is Volvo's Racing Partner for years. They tested what is possible.
I thought this was in german at first but the words sound swedish/norwegian. Swedish right?
Yeah, I'd like to see this Volvo race against the RS6 or the M5. I don't think it would stand a chance
thats class of m3 but not m5. Why do you think it wouldnt compete! on the track it was 5 sec faster, and usually m3 faster on the track than m5
Well, it depends on what m5 it is, it can surely win vs e60 but a race vs f10, naah don't think so
The M5 would be second , the RS6 would be third . The track is 1.54 km long .
Volvo s60 1640 kg 508 pk .BMW m5 1845 kg 561 pk Audi rs6 1910 kg 560 pk .
Power to weight :
Volvo 0.1405 BMW 0.1377 Audi 0.1332 .
But the video states clearly D-segment cars . 5 series and A6 series are E-segment cars .
For conclusion on the race between the cars shown .
Volvo S60 1640 kg 507 pk 0.1405
BMW M3 1555 kg 420 pk 0.1225
Audi RS4 1770 kg 450 pk 0.1153
Sehran Aliti bruh m3 is faster than m5 u Dumb or what
He said that it's a prototype that costs 2 mi. A _Prototype_.
OFT it wont cost 2 mil when put into production
03:00 : MAXIMUM ATAKK! :-)
Nice car!
It would be better if the volvo looks like the m3 , but it's amazing how volvo improved their car :)
A sharp warning for M, quattro and AMG...Volvo 4 life
the racing guy was like the stig
The Volvo S60 and BMW 5 series are two different "classes" of cars. So they wouldn't be comparable for this type of test.
I will be impressed if the production version of this car is AS FAST as this limited edition now is. The problem with it now is that with the money you could almost by both, the M3 and a RS4. So basically this should be racing against a Lamborghini..
Put the Polestar upgrade in our T6 - the extra HP is really nice. Makes sport shift throw up back in your seat.
They are still in the same class.
I see people don't like change by looking at the comments below. Maybe the price of the Volvo is a bit high but whats the price of a R8 or the new M6 those are in their 100s (£). So why can't Volvo do it? I actually really like the volvo because it's the underdog and I would love to see a Polestar V60 in the future, that would be awesome!
7,20 nurburgring ?
The guy who raced the cars... WAS REALLY WANNABE THE STIG !
I was very impressed as I'm a fan of the S and RS line and ///M, until the very end.. Prototype not in production... hmm potential for sure
Oh my god, the sound of that Audi..
That car is a beast!
As always, I am more biased towards German cars, but this car is not bad either.... Nice attempt Volvo, put it into production...
AWESOME I NEED ONE :)
Bullshit! They tested polestar against S4 and it lost, so how the fuck it's faster than M3 or RS4??
It's a fucking 508 BHP OF COURSE ITS FASTER
The 3 cars compared are in de same segment, because of that they are compared in this video,which is not about the best car in each brand
LOOK FOR THE "Bring The Polestar S60 Into Production" page on Facebook to petition Volvo to get this car made!
They really should make this and have it be the 2nd gen S60R
Why the took an RS4 Avant ? It's more heavier thus less successful...
What is the song at 0:55 ?
Why would you put it against an M5 and RS6. This is a different class of car, it's a 3 series A4 rival!!! A damn fine one at that.
I agree, but than, remember an old audi quattro from the 80s...? :)
It was automotorsport who did the test, not volvo...
i want this car soooo bad!!
denna har man längtat efter :D
Or you think that we should compare an S40 with M3? I believe the 40 is an analogue of the 1 series of BMW in our days, and I would not compare the 7 series of BMW with an S80.
The 7 BMW and A8 are out of the range of the other manufacturers!
people would still get the beamer just cuz they wanna be seen in a beamer or audi. volvo is for station wagons and such :)
I love volvo l have s80 for 10 years no problem
