he third-generation Volvo S60 is a thrilling and desirable alternative to the typical German sport sedans – and the Recharge T8 model offers muscular performance, thanks to its impressive 455-hp plug-in hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive. This particular S60 is especially exciting, as it boasts the Polestar Optimization software upgrade, which further improves the car's performance and driving dynamics. Power comes from a gasoline-electric plug-in hybrid powertrain, which consists of a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, an electric motor, and an 18.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. The system is rated at a combined 455 horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque. Output from the combustion engine is sent to the front wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the electric motor powers the rear wheels.
