Pretty low ask for a ten year old car; seems the S60 branch of the family doesn't get much love.

When I looked on their web-site all I could see was an option for the 2.5T motor in the XC90. Nothing on the V8.

Today that is. Looks like Volvo dropped the packages for some of the older model years.

Right, it's certainly possible that they used to offer it. They dropped most Polestar tuning options for the older cars. I'm honestly surprised they offer it for any P2 at this point.

This generation of s60 was not that good. Some will argue that statement but really the engines blew up, interior was lower quality. OMG even my 01 v70 base could beat the 2012 s60t5 to 45mph no problem.
