The Volvo that can hit 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds

The Volvo C30 Polestar concept has Ford Focus RS-beating performance - and now you can watch it in action in our exclusive video.

The concept gets a mega-tweaked version of the 2.5-litre Volvo T5 engine that also powers the Ford, claimed to knock out 400bhp and – with drive delivered to all corners via a Haldex clutch and two clever diffs. The Polestar is also claimed to be capable of demolishing the 0-62mph benchmark in just 4.6 seconds.

I have seen a few RS's driving around with what some might call chavs in. But a lot are being driven by people in thier 40's and even 50's, people who drooled over fast Fords like the Cosworth's of the 80's and early 90's but were too young to buy one.
You're doing the classic thing of thinking that a chav is of a certain age. A chav can be any age. A chav is a certain mentality, an attitude, a philosophy. Just to confuse you even more, a person can have a 1.1 litre hatchback with nasty skirts and stupid exhausts and not be a chav.
