OREANDA-NEWS. The all-new Volvo S90 and V90 are now available for the new generation Polestar Performance Optimisation, adding even more driving pleasure and dynamism to the high base level of the new platform.

”We continue our work to enhance the performance of the new and class-leading platform of Volvo Cars. The S90 and V90 are cars that take the next step forward for premium performance and we are delighted to take that even further with the Polestar Performance Optimisation,” said Niels M?ller, COO of Polestar, the Volvo Cars Performance Brand.

The new generation Polestar optimisation moves away from only including increased engine performance to now include the entire drivetrain.

By optimising throttle response, gearshift speed, off-throttle response, gearshift precision, alongside engine performance, a new level of active drivability is achieved.

The philosophy behind the new optimisation comes from the engineers and racing drivers of Polestar Cyan Racing.

”I am genuinely excited to work with the same technology for our race cars and the performance optimisation for road cars. We are able to work with the same philosophy to create a completely balanced package with usable performance in all conditions, no matter if it is about winning a race or driving actively on your favourite roads,” said Thed Bj?rk, who drives a Volvo S60 Polestar TC1 with Drive-E technology in the FIA World Touring Car Championship.

The first S90 and V90 model available for optimisation is the D5, with the T6 to become available in October 2016*.

All changes of the Polestar optimisations are made with certified emissions, fuel consumption, service intervals and Volvo warranties unchanged. Learn more about the new generation Polestar optimisation here.
