Here is the first picture with the new Volvo S60 TTA racing car which will compete in the Swedish Racing Elite League.
The S60 TTA measures 470 mm in length, 1970 mm in width, 1205 mm in height and has a 2750 mm long wheelbase, and its power is provided by a V6 engine backed by a hybrid system which sends 420 bhp to the rear wheels via a 6-speed sequential gearbox with steering wheel mounted paddles.
The Volvo S60 TT features a carbon fiber body, a double wishbone suspension with three way dumpers, and rolls on 18 inch wheels wrapped in tires size 260/660-18 at the front and 80/660-18 at the rear. The brakes housed behind those wheels measure 370 mm/380mm (front and rear), are ventilated and have 4-piston callipers.
Volvo will race with four S60 TTA cars this year and with two different teams : Volvo Polestar Racing and Volvo Polestar Performance. Out of the four drivers three have already been confirmed, and they are Robert Dahlgren, Fredrik Ekblom and Thed Bjork.
