Öhlins suspension bracket, the strengthened stabilizers of cross-section stability and 19-inch light-alloy wheels do the car suitable as for participation in competitions with similar, and for daily trips. By Polestar estimates, unique S60 will take from a place one hundred approximately in 3,9 seconds. The maximum speed of the car - 300 km/h.
