VOLVO IS SET TO enter the Belgian Touring Car Series, entering a race-ready version of its upcoming S60 sedan into the popular European racing code this year. The S60 Silhouette S1 - named for the BTCS regulations it must adhere to - features a racing body kit, a tubular frame chassis, revised suspension with independent three-way adjustable shock absorbers and high performance brakes. *I have to say a really sexy looking Volvo*
While the most powerful engine available with the roadgoing S60 will be the 3.0 litre T6 petrol engine, Volvo's track car will develop a goodly 306kW and 412Nm of torque through a standardised mid-mounted 3.5 litre V6 engine.
