Volvo S60

Fahrenheit disse:
Na prática, e mesmo a nivel de marketing é assim, até porque os preços fazem essa "escala".

Sobre o carro, sou o unico que não gosta de ver os botões das luzes e afins da mesma cor que o material fofinho usado na zona dos joelhos do condutor? Parece que queriam camuflar aquelas teclas? :confused:

Realmente também não gosto muito.

Mas no geral acho o carro bastante bonito quer por dentro quer por fora.

O novo sistema de injeção chama-se i-ART e regula de forma independente a pressão do injetor em cada um dos cilindros (o que não acontece com o sistema de injeção direta common rail convencional) garantindo assim uma maior eficiência ao nível de consumos e emissões de gases nocivos ao meio ambiente. O sistema adapta e controla a alimentação de forma mais eficiente em cada ciclo de combustão, existindo um microprocessador para cada cilindro do motor. Novidade é também o facto de permitir injetar até 2500 bar de pressão

2014 Volvo S60 T6 Geartronic first drive review Review | Autocar

volvo-s60-t6-026.jpg


What is it?

The petrol half of Volvo’s masterplan is likely to be a more difficult sell than its diesel half-brother. The previous Volvo S60 T6 was powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six designed in Sweden, built in Wales and adored practically nowhere. But at least it had the prerequisite half-dozen cylinders. Volvo won't be able to convince everyone – especially beyond Europe’s frugalness – that its four-cylinder replacement is cleaner and clearly better.

Nevertheless, the firm's engineers are adament. Outright capacity is dismissed as a side issue; it’s how much air you can force through what you’ve got that currently captivates the Swedes. To that end, a supercharger and a turbocharger (yup, a ‘superturbo’) bulge from the new compact block and duly suck‘n’blow the new 2.0-litre T6 all the way up to 302bhp from 5700rpm.

Around the near-constant turbulence, Volvo has installed all the familiar mod-cons. Variable valve timing and direct fuel injection are both present and correct, and its engineers insist that better thermal management and friction reduction were high on their list of priorities from day one. The ungainly six-speed auto has also been retired, replaced by a new Aisin-supplied eight-speed torque converter.

Rather than sending its power to all four wheels as before, the initial T6s will be front-wheel drive only. There’s no LSD to help it on its way either. Instead, Volvo has pioneered what it claims is a different breed of traction control, using a unique arrangement of sensors (plumbed directly into the direct injection system) to harness the engine’s torque delivery in a far more nuanced way than has previously been achieved.

What is it like?

Low alcohol lager. A nice idea and not a little worthy, but not as much fun as the real thing. The idea behind the ‘superturbo’ (as it has been known when previously applied by other manufacturers) is that the supercharger works from idle to supply all the low-down, big engine-emulating twist, and then the turbo takes over (via a bypass valve) once sufficient inertia has been summoned up to spin the turbines.

In practice this works seamlessly, and well enough to make the S60 feel purposefully quick. Even with the whiny supercharger, peak torque – all 295lb ft of it – doesn’t appear until 2100rpm, but any delay between throttle and go is usually the fault of the torque converter automatic, which lacks the unflappable, swift-shifting capabilities of its rivals' dual-clutch autos.

The engine, though, doesn’t break stride, and the vocal whimper turns into an almost imperceptible whoosh as the boost swaps from one charger to the other. The thrust is linear and good for 62mph in 5.9sec. It is also remarkably clean. Unofficially, the S60’s emissions are rated at 149g/km CO2; that’s less than a Focus ST, let alone similarly powered opposition.

Unfortunately, that figure, like the highly credible 44.1mpg combined, is intangible, and the T6 could do with a little more. For all its technical cleverness, the engine still lacks the panache and effortless presence of its German rivals. It spends too much time being humdrum at a stroll, and naggingly stressed in a sprint.

Where the turbocharged six-cylinder motors in Audi and BMW’s stall have a fluid, insatiable stride, the S60 never lets you forget that it’s working hard to keep up the pace. The extra power installed in the T6 is also a reminder that Volvo has still not managed to drag the oft-promised driver’s car from the S60. Too often it labours and lurches, even if the new traction control system does an exemplary job of unobtrusively dealing with the inevitable understeer.

Should I buy one?

Not unless your primary concern is running costs. Which they won’t be, because high powered petrol engine cars aren’t usually bought to indulge fossil fuel parsimony. Volvo is probably betting on a business user's eye for a bargain, but the T6 doesn’t bristle with the superior appeal inherent in a 335i or an S4.

The manufacturer has already assured us that the new engine is not at the outer edge of its potential, and more muscular versions – as well as those connected to its AWD system – will eventually appear. We await something a bit more special, and so should you.

302 cv nas rodas da frente, não lembra nem ao diabo mais velho...

Esse T6 tem o potencial de ser vendido muito mais barato, por causa dos impostos. No entanto, a Volvo parece que anda um bocado enganada nos preços. Ainda hoje, ao deixar o XC60 no estaleiro, vi um S60 D2 momentum exposto por... 39000€ e uns trocados. Quem é que no seu juízo perfeito vai dar quase 40000€ por um 1.6D com 115 cv??
 
Última edição:
Paga-se mas a Volvo anda a querer fazer-se pagar demais... se acham que se safam a vender S60 1.6D com um nível de equipamento intermédio ao preço de A4 2.0 TDI...

A Volvo para ter sucesso tem que apostar em preços mais agressivos. Por exemplo o X60 quando foi lançado: um preço excelente, comparado com a concorrência, ainda por cima com um motor 2.4D de 5 cilindros... vendeu como pãezinhos quentes. É por isso que não percebo este posicionamento de preços, ainda por cima com motores que pagam pouco de IA...
 
Volvo nos enseña sus nuevos S60 y V60 Polestar



Canadá, Holanda, Japón, Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Suiza y Suecia recibirán con los brazos abiertos los nuevos V60 y S60 Polestar que Volvo acaba de anunciar. El resto de mercados tendremos que esperar a conocerlos a principios de año, aunque viendo la demanda de este tipo de producto dentro de nuestras fronteras, algo me dice que no llegaremos a saborearlos.

Los nuevos productos de Polestar tienen por corazón el mismo motor T6 de serie, pero convenientemente optimizado, para entregar 350 caballos, repartidos entre las cuatro ruedas motrices junto con sus 500 Nm de par máximo. Lo hacen pasando entremedias por una caja de cambios automática que cuenta con levas tras el volante para su manejo manual.


Las prestaciones gracias a este nuevo motor son de un 0 a 100 en 4,9 segundos y una velocidad punta de 250 km/h, limitada por la ECU del vehículo.



Pero para sujetar este caballaje extra, el chasis también necesitaba adaptarse a las nuevas circunstancias. Lo hace con muelles con un tarado un 80% más rígido, amortiguadores Öhlins, y llantas forjadas de 20 pulgadas de la propia Polestar.

Los frenos son unos enormes discos de 371 mm de diámtro delante, mordidos por pinzas monobloque en aluminio firmadas por Brembo.



En el plano estético, interior y exterior reciben tratamientos específicos con mucho azul para que nos enteremos de que "estos pitufos de cuatro ruedas" son realmente máquinas serias. El kit aerodinámico de la carrocería refuerza esa sensación.

Con 1.822 kilos para la versión V60 Polestar, no esperamos prestaciones dignas de doblegar a un RS4 Avant, pero un S4 "normal" podría ver al inesperado sueco meterle en apuros. Con ganas de probar uno de estos nuevos Volvo nos quedamos.

- 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds
- Limited Edition

The countries set for the S60 and V60 Polestar include Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the USA, with further markets and final production numbers to be revealed next year.

"Our motorsport co-operation with Polestar has been going on for almost two decades and it is rewarding to see how Polestar can use their experiences from motorsport to engineer such an exciting and competent car," said Derek Crabb, Motorsport Director of Volvo Cars.

"It is very satisfying to see how Polestar have been able to combine this level of driving performance in their interpretation of the S60 and V60 with maintained original service program, class leading safety features and certified fuel- and emission ratings. Customers buying this car will get the best from both Polestar and Volvo," said Alain Visser, Senior Vice President Marketing, Sales & Customer Service of Volvo Cars Group.

All-year performance

The car is based on the latest generation Volvo S/V60 and marks the start of an extended Polestar production model range.

Development of the car has been ongoing over the past years, picking up from the C30 and S60 Concept cars and the Australian S60 Polestar. Thousands of development kilometres have been driven on twisty mountain roads, on the Autobahn and test tracks from the south of Europe to the frozen north of Sweden.

"We have continued our work to create a true driver's car which is not limited only to a few specific driving conditions, but enjoyable on everything from your favourite winding roads to taking the family for a long journey, no matter summer or winter. And in my view, we have gotten very close to our goals, something that of course is best experienced first-hand behind the wheel," said Robert Dahlgren, Polestar racing and test driver.

Polestar performance engineering

Chassis
Upgrades include modifications made to increase rigidity of the chassis to cater for the 80% stiffer springs relative to the standard S60 R-Design. These changes combined with the tailored high performance Öhlins shock absorbers and 20" Polestar wheels results in a precise, yet comfortable, driving experience.

Brakes
The brake system has undergone substantial modifications. Most visible are the 371 millimetre ventilated front discs and six-piston Brembo calipers, guaranteeing a high level of braking performance.

Aerodynamics
To reflect the increased performance of the S/V60 Polestar, positive aerodynamic effects have been achieved through subtle, yet efficient, modifications based on data from tests in the Volvo Cars wind tunnel. The changes are visible with the front splitters, optimising the airflow underneath the car, as well as a new rear spoiler and diffusor, increasing downforce.

Engine
The six-cylinder turbo-charged T6 engine has undergone extensive development with a new twin-scroll turbo and intercooler to produce 350 HP/257 kW at 5700 rpm and 500 Nm/369 lb-ft already at 2800 rpm. The engine breathes through a 2.5" stainless steel exhaust system, making for a throaty engine note.

Transmission
The six-speed automatic gearbox features a new paddle shift system that together with the Polestar developed Haldex four-wheel drive system takes the car from 0-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds and to a limited top speed of 250 km/h. The gearbox as well as the four-wheel drive system and traction control system has been recalibrated in order to provide an active driving experience and maximum grip in all situations.

Interior
The interior has been reworked with new details, materials and Polestar colours, such as the steering wheel, seats and more, with the sole purpose of increasing driver support and control.

"All in all we have taken a major step forward in all areas, from chassis and engine to interior and exterior details. Development work has been focused on the overall package in order to create a car that you want to use every day, both from a practical and emotional perspective," said Henrik Fries, S/V60 Polestar Technical Project Manager.

Sales and delivery

Polestar will begin delivery of the new S60 and V60 Polestar in June 2014 to the local markets.

"We are all very excited and proud over our launch of two new cars as yet another step towards a range of Polestar Engineered Volvo cars available for people like us around the world. To do it together with Volvo, one of the world's leading car manufacturers, is greatly satisfying and we look forward to an exciting future," said Christian Dahl, CEO of Polestar.
