Polestar launches a new generation of performance upgrade packs for the new Volvo S90 and V90 models. Also known as Polestar Performance Optimization, the pack enhances the whole drivetrain system and greatly improves driving dynamics and vehicle’s agility.
As we have told you, the S90 and V90 models are the latest Volvo cars to incorporate the SPA technology, brand’s new modular vehicle architecture that is expected to enhance Volvo’s whole 90 and 60 model lineup. And after Polestar brought some neat upgrades for the XC90 sweeties, the tuning team decided it is about time they did the same with Volvo’s flagship 90 range.
The interesting thing is that Polestar Performance Optimization is not focused only on delivering more horsepower. The idea is to improve throttle and off-throttle response, gearshift speed and smoothness and to deliver overall smoother and more pleasurable ride.

Also, the changes of the Polestar performance upgrades are made with certified emissions, fuel consumption, service intervals and of course, Volvo warranties.
The first S90 and V90 lucky vehicles with the upgrade will be available for order in October 2016.
