    Look at Uncle with a wide grin skimming the apex, right on the edge, on the outside, on the inside of other cars, on driving lines testament to the beast that is the Volvo S60 - just brilliant.

    As a 2020 Volvo S60 owner I can't get enough of this video! You can drive a car man. Mine is still equipped with paddle shifters. it looks like Volvo no longer offers them. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Belgium👍

    Some misconceptions about the extended range T8.
    1) The combined power output for the Malaysian market (engine code H2 B4204T53) is 462ps and 709nm, not 607nm.
    2) The engine block is not the T5 block with more power even though it is only turbocharged now. It is still the same T6 block with the same B03G turbo minus the supercharger, and double water jacket; where else the T5 block is a K03.3 and single water jacket design. The new B4204T53 also has reduced friction compared to the previous B4204T35 on the earlier T8s.
    3) Contrary to what the passenger said, the Polestar tune for the extended range T8s does not produce more peak power. The peak is still 462ps. Polestar shifted the torque and power curves in different rpm ranges without increasing the peak output. It is not “more than 462ps”.
    Hope this helps clarify.
