This is one particular of people superior information, poor news stories : after teasing us with the 405 horsepower, all-wheel- drive Volvo C30 Polestar notion past year, the automaker finest regarded for developing risk-free grocery getters has decided to put a version of the car into minimal output.

If thats the great information, heres the lousy : the C30 Polestar that youll be in a position to get at your local Volvo dealer will occur packing 250 horsepower rather of 405, and only the front wheels will be driven. On the bright side, that helps make Volvos Smurf-blue (Rebel Blue, technically) incredibly hot hatch reasonably priced by a significantly broader assortment of prospective buyers.

In addition to the 250 horses, the turbocharged 2. 5 -liter in-line five will also make 273 pound- toes of torque. If youre maintaining rating at home, thats a acquire of 23 horsepower and 37 pound- toes of torque, thanks to Polestar-revised motor control software program.
