Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Engineered

The Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Engineered reaches 60 mph in 4.81 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.42 s, tripping the lights at 101.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.92 s and the eighth mile in 8.56 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.95 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the S60 T8 Polestar Engineered

The 2018 Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Engineered is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 2,010 kg with 400 bhp, which works out at 199 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.92 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,285th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 27 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 101.7 mph at the lights is only the 1,565th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Engineered is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
