The 2012 Volvo S60 R-Design sport sedan will get significant horsepower and torque increases when it goes on sale late this summer, the company announced. The S60 R-Design will be powered by Volvo's T6 engine, a turbocharged, inline six-cylinder that will now produce 325 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque.
The 2012 S60 R-Design will have a starting price of $42,275.
After developing the all-new S60, which is Volvo's most dynamic model ever, the chassis team focused on further refining a number of details. "The challenge was to boost the dynamics without making the chassis feel raw," says Stefan Sallqvist, manager of vehicle dynamics. Taking the Volvo S60 R-Design to the next level required a critical dissection of the already capable chassis and the addition of a number of performance enhancing sub-systems.
