Hot off the press, DRIVE’s latest offering sees Chris Harris behind the wheel of Volvo’s small-volume concept car, the S60 Polestar. The feisty Swede had been sent over to the UK to avoid the snowy weather – only for it to meet the exact same conditions.
Nevertheless, that didn’t stop Monkey from stretching its legs on the slippery stuff, and also bringing in a Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG for comparison. Powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six developing 379 kW (508 hp) and 575 Nm of torque, the Volvo flies to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 300 km/h, while its German rival pumps out 336 kW (457 hp) and 600 Nm from that 6.2-litre V8 AMG unit, allowing 100 km/h to appear in 4.5s and a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h.
