Why Shouldn't You Mess with the Blue Badge Volvo?

[AlessandraFitz]

Although Volvo models with the "small blue badge" may look similar to regular Volvo models, those with the "small blue badge" are definitely not to be trifled with. While they may not have a price tag in the millions, these are Volvo's Polestar (performance edition) models, some of which are even limited-edition releases. Needless to say, these models are more expensive than standard Volvo versions and boast higher performance. This "small blue badge" is also a symbol of prestigious status within the Volvo family. Additional Information: 1. Currently, the Polestar series high-performance models are equipped with a 3.0T six-cylinder turbocharged engine tuned by the Polestar division, delivering a maximum output of 257 kW (350 PS) and a peak torque of 500 Nm, paired with a 6AT transmission. A Volvo representative revealed that the future 2.0T engine replacement will match the power output of the current 3.0T engine. 2. Additionally, the current Polestar series high-performance lineup includes the V60-Polestar and S60-Polestar models, with plans to introduce the V40-Polestar and XC60 Polestar editions for consumers in the future.
