Here are some of the pictures from the various trips that the Black Beauty has undertaken since the last update.
Enjoy







































Meanwhile the car has crossed 65k kms.



You can see the result of my attempt at Hyper-miling in the MID.

The only issue I have faced was the Volvo logo name itself breaking off from the front grill emblem.



Apparently a batch of the emblems are known to have this issue and hopefully will be replaced free of cost during the next routine service, which will be at 70k kms.
Will update later on that.

Hey, jfxavier. I guess I haven’t yet commented here anytime back. Everytime I see a black S60 around Kollam or Trivandrum, the first thing I’d look out for is the Team BHP sticker or at least the TN reg. It’s the sheer excitement of spotting an enthusiastic carguy on the street. .Happend to see your car at Kollam today, which made me check back this thread, to dribble on the new updates on this black beauty.

The S60 has three 12V outlets one between the cup holders in the central arm rest and one between the front seats for the rear passengers and another one on the boot. But since a lot of the charging/ power requirements tend to be for the front passengers in my case & hence I decided to go for a multiple 12 V outlet connected to the front 12V outlet.

Hi I'v got a Volvo S80 V8, was looking for the exact same 12V outlet neatly tucked away behind the center console, do you mind if you share the link with me ? Beautiful car by the way, do give us an update about it

Thanks again for the compliments.

I got those from the net through browsing.
I am sure now you have much better ones available.

Here are some more pics of the car.

Time to start a new thread.

I am sorry I did not manage to jump through all the hoops that T-BHP admins wanted me to so I can get the thread on the S60-T8 posted.
I had a thread made in the "assembly line" that never got the final blessings.

I wanted to post some pics and give another update (overdue by more two years almost).
I drive another car from Volvo family now, a Polestar 1.

They say the car one drives say a lot about the nature of the person.
If you are someone who looks for class and doesn't try to be loud, this is the right fit for saying it.

Enjoy the pics.

Some pics from the showroom.




The driver's cockpit is the same except for subtle changes (crystal gear knob)

Golden yellow seat belts.


One of the best sound systems in the business (has an additional boom to it due to glass house).



The famous glass window to the business end from the boot.


One of the best "minimalist" and "sharp" front ends.


One of, if not "the" best side profiles.



Elegant back end.



Stands out in a parking lot.

A design that give you a feeling that it will age well over years if not decades.

Look how it stands out compared to other cars.


You would think Mustang is a "wide" and "low" car, not when seen side by side with the Polestar 1.


Some sightings from the wild.



I have already driven almost 50,000 km on this one.
So definitely not parked in a garage.
Here's the car in front of Kurt Cobain's house/ memorial in Aberdeen, WA.

Congratulations on the beauty

Specs, pics & videos from makers.
To me 1000 Nm torque is the highlight.

Just how long is it compared to the Mustang?

Wishing you many happy miles and smiles!

Hot damn, the polestar 1 is definitely one of the best looking cars out there and adding matte paint to it just made it even better.

Polestar 1 is shorter than mustang, wider and lower in height.

Matt paint is the only option that the car comes with. One trim level, different paints.
