Living in rather damp Scotland a C63 would just pee me off I think... slip and slide and traction cutting power down any way :(

In May I sold my B7 RS4 and got a Volvo V60 Polestar. The Volvo is 3ltr straight 6 turbo, 350bhp and 369 lbft. Only 700 of the 3ltrs worldwide so they hold their value . A TDI tuning box takes them to about 400bhp and 440 lbft (apparently). Initially I wasn't sure about the swap, but as time has gone on I think it was the right thing to do!
CURRENT: Montecarlo Blue Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifolglio, 2.9ltr bi-turbo, 510bhp
PREVIOUS: Volvo V60 Polestar, build number 149/700 worldwide - 3ltr straight 6 turbo. 350bhp remapped to 400bhp. Only one of 120 in the UK
PREVIOUS: Misano red B7 saloon, stage 2 map to 425bhp, manifold flap delete, KW V3 coilovers.

You said yourself it was deceptively quick! I love how understated and Q it is!
