Now at Lehman Volvo: The Naughtiest Volvo Ever Built

2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design

Volvo has a history of making some special sporting machines, but none more powerful than the all-new 2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design. Featuring 325 horsepower and a sport-tuned chassis, the R-Design is a seriously fun machine.

At the heart of the S60 R-Design is a powerful turbocharged six-cylinder engine featuring 325 horsepower and 354 lb. ft. torque. That is a bump of 25 horsepower/29 lb. ft. torque over the standard S60 T6. The result is Volvo’s most powerful 6 cylinder engine ever produced.

The chassis team focused on further refining a number of details. Taking the S60 R-Design to the next level required a critical dissection of the already capable chassis and the addition of a number of performance enhancing sub-systems.

The chassis team fitted a strut brace under the hood that ties together the suspension strut towers. This is a classic method of stiffening up the body structure and to improve steering response. At the rear, the S60 R-Design features monotube dampers. Unlike the twin-tube dampers used in the S60 T6, the monotube system features compression and return damping via the same valve. This gives shorter, faster fluid flow, which in turn means the damper responds more quickly.

The front and rear springs have been shortened by 15 mm to give the car more visual attitude. What is more, spring stiffness is 15 percent higher compared to the dynamic chassis in the S60 T6.

Helping to set the S60 R-Design apart from the S60 are a number of visual design cues. On the outside the cars have an imposing redesigned lower front fascia with a grille painted in glossy piano black. The sporty stance is further enhanced with color-matched body components, details in matte finish and a hexagonal pattern that is repeated both front and rear. Incorporated within a sporty rear exhaust baffle are distinctive, 90mm twin exhaust tailpipes and unique R-Design exclusive five-spoke 18-inch diamond cut wheels emphasize the sporty overall appeal. The introductory, R-Design exclusive color is Passion Red but the Volvo S60 R-Design also will be available in four other colors. Additionally, the S60 R-Design features a rear trunk spoiler and standard Dual Xenons with Active Bending Lights.
