Meet a Volvo with a difference! This is a limited edition performance version of the new S60, which has been beefed up by tuning firm Heico Sportiv – who have been bringing out hot versions of the Swedish firm’s production vehicles for almost 20 years.

Only 100 examples of the S60 T6 Design will be produced, all completed in menacing Black Sapphire metallic paint, and all lefthand drive. Under the bonnet, a remapped engine management system means that the V6 turbo’s power has been upped to 328bhp – a 26bhp increase – while torque has also been lifted, now a healthy 460Nm.    

That translates to a 0-62mph sprint time of just 5.8 seconds, charging on to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. However despite the impressive stats the T6 will still manage 27.4mpg.

The suspension has been upgraded to cope, with tougher new springs lowering the whole automobile by 30mm, and the T6 comes with permanent four-wheel drive. To add some visual aggression, a new front spoiler and rear diffuser combo made from a mixture of superlight plastic and carbon fibre have been added. A set of quad-exhausts have sprouted from the rear, and the specially designed set of 19-inch diamond-cut black alloys are wrapped in Pirelli PZERO tyres.  

Unfortunately this hardcore edition of the T6 won’t be available in the UK, but interested buyers will have to pay the equivalent of £53,000 (€63,968) for the privilege of owning one of the hottest Volvos in years.
