I hope they do that better than their last s60 polestar.
When they showed that concept to the press it was this crazy 500hp+ car that was beating all merc's c63amg, m4's etc in a dragrace without any efford, but when it finally came to market in 2016 it was this tuned down 350hp version, being more of a competitor to a 335i. (wel a 335i with coilovers and a bbk anyway)
And judging on the 0-200kph benchmarks I even doubt that they have 350hp, having seen them take a good 20sec to reach 200kph, which is slow for a (relatively small) 4wd 350hp car.
So to me that s60/v60 polestar was a bit of a fail especially due to that PR nono.
