Why the Corvette Stingray should pace the Indy 500

Will the new Corvette Stingray be at the head of the field on May 26 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the start of the Indianapolis 500? I say -- how could it not be! With its new body and frame and 450-hp V8 engine the Stingray could do the job with just minor modifications.

Volvo XC coupe concept (2014) gives first glimpse of new XC90 styling

By Damion Smy and Ollie Kew First Official Pictures 11 December 2013 12:00 A teaser picture and two design sketches give the latest official clues to how the 2014 Volvo XC90 will look.

Volvo S60 Polestar goes in to production

It sounded like a plan to put it in to production – even if it would probably need twin turbos to make it nicely wieldy on the road – and that’s exactly what Volvo and Polestar have done. The Volvo S60 Polestar has gone in to limited production, initially for the Australian market, but instead of the mighty 508bhp of the concept it has to make do with a more pedestrian 350bhp, little more than the V60 we reviewed last year with the Polestar upgrade. But the extra power is enough to get the production S60 Polestar to 62mph in 4.9 seconds and, thanks to tweaks to the suspension, brakes and aerodynamics, the S60 Polestar looks like it will be able to handle the power quite well.
