Volvo. Perhaps not the first brand to come to mind when discussing performance. Which is why this Volvo C30 concept by Polestar Performance looks so interesting.
Developing 400PS and transferring the power to the road via an all-wheel-drive system, the C30 Performance Concept Prototype was designed to evaluate what happens when a Championship-winning team of race engineers and designers get free-rein to design and engineer a car rather than developing it to fit very specific race regulations.
“We love the Volvo C30 – it’s a great car with huge potential for development with its low weight and low centre of gravity. It’s also a fantastic road car. But now we go much further by combining the road car with cutting edge racing technology,” says Robert Dahlgren, race and development driver at Polestar.
The concept includes a 400 PS-engine, all-wheel-drive, and aerodynamics based on Polestar’s race car data. Further updates on the project, including the announcement of technical specifications, will be posted on the company’s web site www.polestar.se. The first public appearance of the C30 Performance Concept Prototype will be at Gothenburg Motor Show between 22-25 April.
