Report: Volvo to Produce C30 Polestar Concept


Volvo must be listening to the people!

First Volvo listened when we all begged to make the S60 R-Design more than just a cosmetic upgrade, then we learned that Polestar had a mighty big hand in making that happen and now a recent report is suggesting that Volvo is ready to build the amazing C30 Polestar Concept.

Dubbed as a “junior Nissan GT-R” the C30 Polestar has wowed auto journalists alike with the only caveat that it was never to be put into production. Well through its recent relationship in making the S60 and XC60 R-Designs, Volvo will now in fact build the C30 Polestar concept. It will reportedly be dubbed the C30 PCP, which apparently stands for Performance Concept Prototype (not the hallucinogenic drug -although the C30 Polestar’s intoxicating performance may very well deliver quite the high).

I suggested that if Volvo wanted to truly take on zee Germans, they needed an dedicated performance division and it’s looking like the PCP nomenclature may very well fill the gap much in the same way BMW has its M division, Mercedes-Benz has it’s AMG division and Audi has its RS division.

The C30 PCP will reportedly have a very limited run (much like the BMW 1-series M) of about 500 examples made and will reportedly cost around $80,000 Canadian. That price, plus 400 horses makes it more of a BMW M3 competitor than a 1-series M competitor.

Regardless, it’s nice to see a car company that actually listens to the public. Thanks for actually building the C30 PCP, Volvo! Can’t wait to write a review for it!
