Acceleration of a Volvo S60 T6, from 0 to 100 Mph. It's completely stock and pretty fast.

Anybody else notice how the acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear going 0-60 is slower than in 3rd gear going from 60-100? The reason for this is because on the automatic volvos, especially the T5/T6, they torque limit 1st and 2nd gear to prevent damage to the transmission... If you were wondering that, now you know!

Thanks, I noticed that too. I was contemplating if the torque limiter is a bad thing or not, but in the end, for every day driving, gears 3 and up are used most anyway. I don't think that the torque limiter is necessary for driving the car by itself, however, if people are pulling a caravan, up hill in 1st and 2nd gear, 440Nm would probably kill the axels and the transmission. I wonder how Polestar's tune would influence the limiter. 330 Hp and 480 Nm is quite a bit.

thanks for the video. im thinking of getting a t6 s60 when my lease on my audi a4 expires. would you say the s60 is stable going over bumps at high speed and in the rain/snow like an audi quattro? - thats the only thing im worried about

@AlternativeUses

I don't know what you consider high speed, but bumps don't seem to be an issue from my point of view. The stiff suspension does not make it very comfortable, but does help stability in corners and on stretches of smooth highway. Went through a bumpy highway corner with 100 mph where advisory speed is 55 mph, and felt very good. The T6 has standard AWD where the new Haldex system and torq vectoring makes cornering in snow safe and easy. No complaints at all...

Hey! thank you so much for posting this, I am planning to buy a car right now, really undecided between this because of its performance and safety - versus the performance and brand name given from Audi / BMW. Since practically everybody owns a BMW out there though, I suppose it loses the premium status now.

I was wondering.. how is the S60 road presence? Do you get a lot of comments from friends / pedestrians?

[Sug4rD]

@derek400004 Everyone loves the car. Mine is red with sports appearance and that looks fantastic. People watch what type of car you have, and when overtaking someone, I am mostly followed by their eyes.... That's typically all that follows... Blazing fast in normal 300hp and cornering goes well, although I am often surprised when the ESP or vector cornering comes in, but I suppose you can minimize that with turning off DSC.

You'd get 5 stars if the video was HD. LOL

Is there a problem with the electronic speedometer?. because at the 2nd attempt, when u have reached the 70 MPH, the electronic speedo shows 99km\h.

@imzjustplayin

WTF are you talking about??? 0-60 in 6s, 60-100 8s just a normal acceleration.

Carefull with the auto brake...its proven faulty.....by volvo...

[khilside]

This car is amazing. I tested droved it at my local Volvo Dealer, and now I'm driving it everyday.

One day, I'll buy myself a Volvo. First I want to take my Rolla ts to 200,000 kms (125,000 miles), and than I will buy some fast Volvo, for sure. Still have to go some 122,000 kms before I get there. Whatever interesting Volvo will be on the market in 2014- 2015, that will be it! Enjoy this beautiful machine of yours, greetz.
