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.

Re: Volvo's Focus RS beater on video
The connection being that they're based on the same platform (the C30 is effectively just a rebodied 3dr Focus), and they're powered by what is basically the same 2.5 litre turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine.
Re: Volvo's Focus RS beater on video
why you make that point? my micra was extremely cheap, i had no money, which probably led me to the cheapest route to performance by making my micra the same power to weight as a lotus elise. was such good fun.
chavness is also about spending money on the wrong things. A £27k fwd 300bhp standard focus is a waste of money.
Re: Volvo's Focus RS beater on video
I'm with you on that one, I'll leave the little boys on here with a stripped out Micra and have myself an RS.
