^^^ The Swedish hot hatch
Polestar Performance, the team behind Volvo's entry into the Swedish Touring Car Championship (STCC), has released the first image of the C30 Performance Concept.
Set to debut at the Gothenburg Motor Show, the concept aims to "...build further on the strong driving characteristics of the standard C30 and at the same time illustrate the link between the racing cars and the Polestar Performance products."
To do this, Polestar added a larger intercooler and a KKK 26 turbocharger to the 2.5-liter T5 engine. Thanks to these modifications, power climbs from 227 hp (169 kW / 230 PS) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) to 405 hp (302 kW / 411 PS) and 510 Nm (376 lb-ft) of torque.
Other goodies include an aerodynamic body kit, a Haldex AWD system, Öhlins shock absorbers and springs, Brembo brakes, and 19-inch BBS wheels outfitted with Pirelli P Zero tires.

It's technically priceless since there's only 1 in the world and it's not in production.

It's a shame that not many people would consider buying a c30 though especially in Vancouver. It has an unique look to the car with power to back it up.

love the c30, its also a blast to drive!
i work at a volvo dealership (no, not as a sales guy)
yes for a BRAND NEW c30, the price is quite high, but pre-owned models are very low.
We get lots of ex rentals cars back that are still almost new - like a 2011 c30 with 15-20,000kms.
They are usually around the mid to late 20's. You're still saving almost 40% compared to a new unit.
too bad its hard to find a manual nowadays.

I would purchase it from the states. They have more pre-owned selection in terms of colour and trim. It's rare to find manual and r design up here used I don't know why.

The price for a brand new C30 T5 is just too high. I would have gotten one if it weren't so expensive.

You can't buy the c30 Polestar, but you can build the equivalent.
