The '''Volvo S60''' is a [[compact executive car]] manufactured and marketed by [[Volvo Cars]] from 2000 to 2024.

The first generation (2000–2009)<ref name = history00-08/> was launched in autumn of 2000<ref>{{cite web |language=fr, en |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/fr/fr-fr/media/pressreleases/11932 |title=Volvo S60 - model year 2008 |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |website=www.media.volvocars.com |date=17 July 2007 |access-date=2018-01-03 }}</ref> in order to replace the [[Volvo S70|S70]] and was based on the [[Volvo P2 platform|P2 platform]], and the similarly designed [[station wagon|estate]] version, the [[Volvo V70]].

The S60 was built on Volvo's [[Volvo P2 platform|P2 platform]],<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.autointell.com/european_companies/volvo_cars/volvo-mfg/volvo-manufacturing.htm |title=Volvo Cars makes major investments in Ghent and Torslanda |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308133651/http://www.autointell.com/european_companies/volvo_cars/volvo-mfg/volvo-manufacturing.htm |archive-date=2016-03-08 |access-date=2010-06-08 |url-status=live}}</ref> which was shared with other Volvo models like the [[Volvo S80|S80]], [[Volvo V70|V70]], [[Volvo V70/XC70|XC70]] and finally the [[Volvo XC90|XC90]].

The Volvo S60 was released in 2000 (2001 model year) being the company's new generation sports sedan. The S60 is aimed to mainly compete in Europe with the [[BMW 3 Series (E46)]], the [[Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W203)]] and the [[Alfa Romeo 156]]. Unlike its rivals, the Volvo S60 continued production for 9 years with multiple facelifts. When it was introduced the appearance was unlike the squared vehicles offered in previous years, and continued the new design tradition introduced by the larger [[Volvo S80|S80]], utilizing a [[cab forward#Automobiles|cab forward]] approach and was more organic appearing with a pronounced shelf along the [[Beltline (automotive)|beltline]] that ran the length of the vehicle, achieving a {{Cd|0.28|link=car}} [[drag coefficient]].<ref name="2004 S60">{{cite web |title=Volvo S60 Sales Brochure |url=https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/current/2004_S60_Brochure.pdf |website=volvoclub.org.uk |publisher=Volvo Cars of North America, LLC |access-date=6 November 2022}}</ref> Volvo continued its safety tradition, offering front and rear integrated [[crumple zone]]s, driver and front passenger dual threshold airbags with a collapsible three-stage steering column, [[Side Impact Protection System]] (SIPS) supplemented with air bags for driver and front passenger, along with a side curtain airbag for front and rear passengers, [[anti-submarine seat]]s, five padded head restraints with Whiplash Protection System ([[WHIPS]]), and automatic seat belt [[pretensioner]]s while front belts also have height adjustment.<ref name="2004 S60"/>

In 2004 PremAir™ was introduced as a standard feature to the exterior radiator surface which converts up to 75 percent of ground level ozone in the radiator cooling air into oxygen, while the Interior Air Quality System cleans the air inside, detects for pollutants and automatically recirculates in comparison to the air outside.<ref name="2004 S60"/> The upholstery was available in [[taupe]], light sand or graphite with indigo inserts and the leathers were tanned using natural plant materials. The S60 sheet metal content can be recycled, along with other metals that achieved an 85 overall percentage.<ref name="2004 S60"/> Dual zone climate control and heated front seats along with a three position drivers memory setting were optional, and anti-smash and grab laminated side windows were available.<ref name="2004 S60"/> Two {{cvt|17|in|1}}, three {{cvt|16|in|1}} and one {{cvt|15|in|1}} aluminum alloy wheel choices were available.<ref name="2004 S60"/>

The S60 came standard with Volvo's own radio unit, the HU-613, the HU-803 and was later upgraded to the HU-650 and an optional extra HU-850 unit. The HU-850 unit features a 225 or 335-watt power output (depending on optional external amplifier) with three presets: 2CH, 3CH and [[Dolby Pro Logic#Dolby Pro Logic II|Dolby Digital Pro Logic II]] Surround Sound. The [[Four-C]] chassis from the S60 R became an option on some S60s.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2005-volvo-s60.htm |title=2005 Volvo S60 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100501055350/http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2005-volvo-s60.htm |archive-date=2010-05-01 |access-date=2010-06-08 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2004 the T5 engine was reengineered from 2.3 to 2.4 liters, installing [[continuously variable valve timing]] and achieving an increase of {{cvt|10|hp-metric|kW|0}}, while the 2.5 liter engine was given a [[Ultra-low-emission vehicle]] (ULEV) certification, and a modified turbo in the D5 model also increased the maximum claimed power from 163&nbsp;PS to 185&nbsp;PS, while [[electronic brakeforce distribution]] was installed for emergency braking situations.<ref name="2004 S60"/> The [[Haldex (company)|Haldex]]-sourced computer controlled AWD system, which was standard equipment in the S60R, was optionally available mated to the 2.5 liter engine.<ref name="2004 S60"/> Three transmissions were offered, the [[Geartronic]] automatic which offered five speeds that adapts to driving style or the "Auto-Stick" offers a manual mode that offered the ability to select gears by moving the gearstick forward or back. The second automatic five speed transmission was available without the manual mode feature. A more traditional manual five speed transmission was the third selection offered.<ref name="2004 S60"/>

The S60 was [[Facelift (automobile)|refreshed]] in 2005. The exterior was updated with body-colored side moldings and bumpers with chrome linings, as well as new headlamps replacing the original with black housing, with optional [[HID headlight]]s. The interior received some updates as well, with new seats, trim, and an updated center console. The S60 went through a final facelift in 2008 with full body-colored bumper and door inserts and larger emblem in the front and larger spaced out "V-O-L-V-O" letters in the rear. The interior featured a new pattern upholstery which differs from its original pattern.

===First-generation models===
====S60 Police specification (UK & EU)====
Police specification models came about through Volvo's extensive work alongside the users of the vehicles and Police Fleet Management departments. As a result, the Police specification vehicles have a striking difference from original showroom model that sometimes the Volvo S60 is used as [[police car]]s.
Firstly the [[suspension (vehicle)|suspension]] was up-rated to deal with the demands of Police work; this included fitting the front suspension of the [[Volvo D5 engine|D5]] model variant (as the suspension was designed to deal with the heavier diesel engine). Nivomat self-levelling suspension was also fitted to the rear to ensure correct geometry of the vehicle, regardless of the weight carried. On early models, the clutch was also replaced with the stronger D5 unit.

A larger specification battery and 110A [[alternator]] was also fitted to run all the extra equipment, along with a dedicated Police fuse box in the boot. Extra wiring looms are also fitted specially for the Police radios and other equipment, including [[Closed-circuit television|CCTV]] cameras. Additional electrical noise suppression has been added so as not to interfere with the sensitive electronics the police use.

The [[speedometer]]s in the vehicles are calibrated from the factory and do not require recalibration unless the wheel and overall rolling diameters are changed.

{{cvt|305|mm|in|1}} vented front [[disc brake]]s were also fitted alongside special [[brake pad]]s (and wear indicators) specially designed to cope with high-speed pursuits.

During 2001–2004 the 2.3 litre T5 engine was used and in 2005–2009 the 2.4 litre T5 engine was used. Also beyond common speculation and myths, the engines are not chipped or modified specially for police use: they are complete factory spec but in 'exceptional cases' the speed limiter ({{cvt|215|km/h|mph|disp=sqbr}}) may have been removed.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}}

====S60 R====
First introduced in 2004, Volvo's S60 R used a [[Haldex Traction|Haldex]] computer controlled all-wheel-drive system mated to a {{cvt|300|PS|kW hp|0}} / {{cvt|400|Nm}} [[Straight-five engine|inline-5]] which sends 95 percent of the torque to the front wheels under normal driving conditions and can send up to 30 percent to the rear wheels as necessary.<ref name="2004 Volvo S60R & V70R"/> The 2004–2005 models came with a 6-speed [[manual transmission]], or an available 5-speed automatic which allowed only {{cvt|258|lbft|Nm|0}} torque in 1st and 2nd gears. The 2006–2007 models came with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed [[automatic transmission]] (which was no longer torque-restricted).

Other aspects which set the R apart from standard S60s were the large [[Brembo]] front and rear four-piston brakes, 18-inch 5-spoke "Pegasus" wheels (available as an upgrade to the standard 17-inch wheels of the same design), blue faced "R" gauges, standard [[HID headlight]]s, as well as the Four-C suspension system.<ref name="2004 Volvo S60R & V70R">{{cite web |title=2004 Volvo S60R & V70R Living Brochure |url=https://autocatalogarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Volvo-S60-R-V70-R-2004-CA.pdf |website=autocatalogarchive |publisher=Volvo Cars of Canada Ltd. |access-date=12 November 2022}}</ref>

Semi-active suspension with [[Four-C]] (a short name for "[[Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept]]") allows the user to select from three modes: Comfort, Sport, and Advanced. "Comfort" attempts to soften the car over bumps, while "Advanced" firms the suspension considerably and gives more aggressive throttle response - a setting Volvo implies is for use on the race track. This is accomplished through a [[drive by wire]] throttle, allowing the same pedal travel to result in different performance when the appropriate mode is selected,<ref>{{cite journal |language=en |url=http://www.modified.com/features/0304scc_volvo/index.html |title=Volvo S60R, Volvo V70R: A unique blend of components; singular performance and luxury |journal=Modified Mag |first=Greg N. |last = Brown |year=2009 |issue=April |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100701154636/http://www.modified.com/features/0304scc_volvo/index.html |archive-date=2010-07-01 |url-status=dead}}</ref> electronically controlled shock absorbers that can adjust themselves 500 times a second, and a complex series of sensors throughout the body of the vehicle. Volvo collaborated with high-tech system developer [[ohlins|Ohlins Racing AB]] and shock absorber manufacturer Monroe for the self-adjusting shock absorbers.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2003/06/22/163566.html |title=2004 Volvo S60 R Review |first=John | last = Heilig |publisher=The Auto Channel |year=2003 }}</ref>

The R had three themed interior color options with upholstery in soft leather supplied by [[Bridge of Weir#Leather|Bridge of Weir]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Bridge of Weir customers |url=https://www.bridgeofweirleather.com/our-customers |website=bridgeofweirleather |date=6 May 2021 |publisher=Scottish Leather Group |access-date=20 November 2022}}</ref> and they were [[North Cape (Norway)|Nordkapp]] (dark blue) or [[Gobi]] (light tan). A third choice was offered as a natural leather option, [[Atacama]] (dark orange), available for an additional charge. The natural leather choice was said to have the thickness and feel of a baseball glove.<ref name="2004 Volvo S60R & V70R"/>

The small trunk lid spoiler that was standard on the S60 R created a 20% increased downforce at the rear wheels at high speeds compared to the standard S60s. The S60 Rs have a 0.29 [[Drag coefficient]], compared to the standard S60's 0.28, due to the larger lower front bumper spoiler to support the secondary intercooler.<ref name="2004 Volvo S60R & V70R"/>

Another Volvo factory option for only the S60 R was a body kit which included front bumper splitters, side skirts and a rear valance, color matched to the body. The body kit was only available with certain body colors and in certain markets.<ref name="2004 Volvo S60R & V70R"/>

The S60 R continued the tradition of "R" cars for Volvo beginning in 1995 with the introduction of the 850 T-5 R.

The second generation S60 began production in Ghent, Belgium on May 17, 2010, with an expected annual production of 90,000 vehicles.<ref name = "autoweek">{{cite journal |last=Hart |first=Roger |title=A New Mantra |journal=[[AutoWeek]] |date=7 June 2010 |volume=60 |issue=11 |page=29}}</ref> Official photos were released in November 2009, and the car was publicly unveiled at the [[Geneva Motor Show#2010|Geneva Motor Show]] in March 2010.<ref>{{cite press release |language=en |url=http://www.volvocars.com/intl/top/about/news-events/Pages/default.aspx?itemid=102 |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |title=Sculpted to move you - first pictures of the all-new Volvo S60 |date=10 November 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225100938/http://www.volvocars.com/intl/top/about/news-events/Pages/default.aspx?itemid=102 |archive-date=2012-02-25 |access-date=2017-10-27 |url-status=dead}}</ref> It debuted as a 2011 model in North America. The second generation S60 also arrived with the 5th generation [[Haldex Traction|Haldex]] AWD system. More differences in the second generation S60 include the new large Volvo iron symbol, parallel to the grille LED day running lamps and larger spaced letters in the brand name on rear.

The engine range of the S60 and V60 comprises four [[petrol engines]] and three [[diesel engine|diesels]]. The engines available are the T3, T4, T5 and T6 petrol engines and D3, D5 and 1.6D DRIVe diesel engines, the latter of which has [[Stop Start Technology]] to increase the efficiency of the engine. The 2.4-litre D5 [[plug-in hybrid]] version, fitted with a five-cylinder diesel engine and a 50&nbsp;kW electric motor, was scheduled for sale in Europe by November 2012.<ref name=TG1111>{{cite news |language=en |url=http://www.topgear.com/uk/volvo/v60/road-test/plug-in-hybrid-driven |title=Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid driven |first=Piers |last=Ward |work=[[Top Gear (magazine)|Top Gear]] |date=November 2011 |access-date=2012-09-30 |archive-date=2015-04-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150408213443/http://www.topgear.com/uk/volvo/v60/road-test/plug-in-hybrid-driven |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The Volvo S60 and V60 come with Volvo's [[City Safety]] system as standard, which is the same system fitted to its sister the XC60. This system stops the car in the event of impending collision in 'City Traffic' below {{cvt|19|mi/h|km/h}}. Also, a new safety feature named "[[Pedestrian Detection]]" (available on both the V60 and S60) detects people in front of the car and automatically applies the brakes if the driver does not react in time. The new sedan shows off Volvo's completely new [[design language]] already seen in the [[Volvo XC60]] concept. It rides on the same platform as the XC60. The goal of this new design was to target younger demographics.

===2013 T5 engine update===
In 2013, the T5 engine was revamped before the launch of the Drive-E arrival. Among the tweaks to the T5 power plant is a boost in engine compression to 9.5:1 from 9.0, engine torque peaks at 4200&nbsp;rpm and engine management changes provide faster gear changes and upshifts when the 6-speed automatic gearbox is in the sport mode. Output remains the same over 2012 at {{cvt|250|bhp|kW PS|0}} and {{cvt|266|lbft}} of torque, although there is a provision for overboost from the turbo which bumps the torque number to {{cvt|295|lbft}}. The changes in compression ratio helps the S60 T5 deliver {{cvt|1|mpgus|km/L}} extra in the city and combined cycle. Front-drive versions are rated at {{cvt|21|mpgus|km/L}} city/{{cvt|30|mpgus|km/L}} highway for a combined of {{cvt|24|mpgus|km/L}}, while the AWD model is {{cvt|1|mpgus|km/L}} less across the board. Volvo also says the T5 AWD is good for a {{cvt|0|-|60|mph|km/h}} sprint of 6.6 seconds, while the front-drive version is 0.2 seconds quicker.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-reviews/first-drives/2013-volvo-s60-t5-awd|title=2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD|first=Matt|last=DeLorenzo|date=July 26, 2012|website=Road & Track}}</ref>

===2014 model year update===
Changes include all-new exterior panels from the A-pillars forward including a new hood, front fenders and fascia; a wider grille with a larger Ironmark is flanked by new headlights while a larger, wider lower front intake gains bright accents and horizontally mounted [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] [[daytime running light]]s; new integrated exhaust pipes at rear, a new Adaptive Digital TFT Display instrument cluster for select models ([[Volvo R|R-Design]] versions include unique blue instrument dials), new paddle shifters on T6 AWD and R-Design models (optional on T5), Advanced Quick Shift (AQS) option on all T6 engines and activated when the transmission is set to sport mode or when using paddle shifters, [[IntelliSafe]] with [[Pedestrian Detection]] and [[Cyclist detection|Cyclist Detection]] with full auto brake and [[Cross-Traffic Assist|Cross Traffic Alert]] became part of the Technology Package, a new radar-based [[Blind Spot Information System]] (BLIS) to monitor and alert the driver to rapidly approaching vehicles behind the car while still informing the driver about vehicles in the blind spots on both sides of the car, Cross Traffic Alert with [[radar]] sensors at the rear end of the car to alert the driver to crossing traffic from the sides when reversing out of a parking space.

North America models went on sale as 2014 model year vehicles in late 2013. Early models include S60 T5 (base, Premier, Premier Plus, Platinum), T6 (AWD, Premier Plus, Platinum, R-Design AWD, RD Platinum).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/01/2014-volvo-range-pricing/ |title=Volvo prices revamped 2014 lineup |first=Steven J. | last = Ewing |work=Autoblog |access-date=2015-06-19}}</ref>

====S60L PHEV====
The Volvo S60L PPHEV (Petrol Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) [[concept car]] was unveiled at the 2014 [[Beijing International Automotive Exhibition]].<ref name = PPHEV/> [[Volvo Cars]] announced that the S60L PPHEV will be manufactured at the [[Chengdu]] plant and is scheduled to be launched in China in the first half of 2015.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.ecns.cn/business/2014/10-27/140118.shtml |title=Volvo unveils new S60L hybrid vehicle |first=Qin |last = Dexing |publisher=China Daily |date=27 October 2014 |access-date=2014-10-31 }}</ref>

The S60L PPHEV shares the same electric-drive technology as the [[Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid]], but instead of the diesel engine of the V60, the S60L PPHEV has a 2-liter, four-cylinder gasoline turbocharged engine from Volvo Cars’ new Drive-E engine family. The {{cvt|50|kW}} electric motor is powered by an 11.2 [[kWh]] [[lithium-ion battery]] pack that delivers an [[all-electric range]] of up to {{cvt|50|km}}. The petrol-powered engine produces {{cvt|177|kW}} and 350 N·m (258&nbsp;lb-ft) of torque. The driver can select via three buttons among three driving modes: Pure, Hybrid or Power. In the default hybrid mode, the {{CO2}} emissions are about 50 g/km, corresponding to a fuel consumption of {{cvt|2.0|L/100km}}. By selecting Pure mode, the car runs in [[all-electric mode]], and the Power mode combines the capabilities of the engine and motor to deliver {{cvt|225|kW}}, 550 N·m (405&nbsp;lb-ft) of torque and 0–100&nbsp;km/h (62&nbsp;mph) acceleration in 5.5 seconds.<ref name = PPHEV>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2014/04/20140416-volvo.html |title=Volvo Cars introducing S60 plug-in hybrid concept at Beijing show; production version in early 2015 |first=Mike | last = Millikin |publisher=Green Car Congress |date=16 April 2014 |access-date=2014-04-17}}</ref>

====S60 Cross Country====
A new limited production model known as the S60 Cross Country saw a limited American release in the autumn of 2015 (as it was for the 2015 model year in Europe), with each dealership only getting one car. This variant is similar to the [[Volvo V60 Cross Country]], as it is a raised sedan variant of the S60. Limited to about 500 units from 2016 to 2017.<ref>{{cite web |title=2017 Volvo S60 Cross Country Buyer's Guide: Reviews, Specs, Comparisons |url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/volvo/s60-cross-country/ |website=MotorTrend |access-date=13 June 2020 |language=en}}</ref>

===2015===
The 2015 S60 Polestar's 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder produces {{cvt|350|PS|kW hp|0}} and {{cvt|370|lbft|Nm|0|order=flip}} of torque, an additional {{cvt|20|hp|kW PS}} and {{cvt|15|lbft|order=flip}} more torque compared to the same engine in the S60 [[Volvo R|R-Design]]. This is developed by way of massaged engine management software, a stainless exhaust with {{convert|2.5|in|mm|adj=mid|order=flip}} pipes, new twin-scroll [[BorgWarner]] turbochargers and new intercooler. Polestar also did work to the transmission with new calibration for quicker gearshifts and launch control capabilities. The [[Haldex Traction|Haldex]] four-wheel-drive system also has Polestar tuning for more rear torque distribution, and the stability control system has been massaged. The chassis is firmer with a suspension that features [[Öhlins]] shock absorbers with 80 percent stiffer springs sitting on 20-inch wheels that would normally come wrapped with [[Michelin]] Pilot Super Sport tires from the factory. Brakes get a nice upgrade with {{convert|14.6|in|mm|adj=mid|order=flip}} front discs (replacing {{convert|13.2|in|mm|adj=mid|order=flip|disp=sqbr}} ones on the R-Design) with six-piston [[Brembo]] calipers and {{convert|11.8|in|mm|adj=mid|order=flip}}-inch rear discs. Visual changes include new front and rear splitters, rear spoiler and diffuser. Inside there's a thick-rimmed steering wheel and upgraded seats with suede inserts, suede door inserts and blue accent stitching throughout. According to Volvo, it has a {{0to60mph}} time of 4.7 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of {{cvt|250|km/h|mph|0}}, up from {{cvt|210|km/h|mph|0}}.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://autoweek.com/article/car-reviews/2015-volvo-s60-polestar-review-notes |title=2015 Volvo S60 Polestar review notes |work = AutoWeek |date=28 January 2015 | access-date=2018-01-03 }}</ref>

==British land speed record==
On 14 and 15 October 2000, the first-generation S60 T5 broke 18 [[British land speed record]]s (including the highest average speed over a 24-hour period) for a Production Car class D (2000–3000cc) at {{convert|135.10|mph|kph}} at the [[Millbrook Proving Ground]], in [[Bedfordshire]], UK. A joint project by Volvo and [[Prodrive]] and covered by [[Channel 4]]'s ''Driven'' and ''[[Car magazine]]''.

The car was standard except for safety modifications such as a roll cage, exterior cut out switch, a modified fuel tank and additional head support to allow the drivers ([[BTCC]] drivers [[Anthony Reid]], [[Rickard Rydell]], [[John Cleland (racing driver)|John Cleland]] and [[Alain Menu]] as well as various ''Car'' journalists and [[Channel 4]]'s [[Mike Brewer]]) to rest their neck during the 2-hour gaps between pit stops. Each pitstop included a driver change, refuel and tyre changes due to the extreme stresses being placed on the front outside tyre.

The following records were broken:

The S60 has been raced in a range of championships across Europe, North America and Australia.

===Europe===
Volvo regularly entered the S60 in the [[Swedish Touring Car Championship]], where it finished 2nd in the drivers' championship twice and won [[2003 Swedish Touring Car Championship season|the manufacturers' title]] once. The S60 continued to be raced after the formation of the [[Scandinavian Touring Car Championship]], a merger of the Swedish and [[Danish Touring Car Championship|Danish]] touring car championships. [[Thed Björk]] won three consecutive titles from 2013 to 2015, and [[Rikard Göransson]] won the championship in 2016, driving an S60 prepared by [[Polestar Racing]].

From 2002 to 2007 there was an S60 one-make racing series as a support series to the Swedish Touring Car Championship known as the S60 Challenge Cup, using 26 factory-modified S60s.

An S60 was driven by [[Robert Dahlgren]] in the Swedish round of the [[2007 World Touring Car Championship season|2007 World Touring Car Championship]].

In 2016 the S60 made its return to the [[World Touring Car Championship|WTCC]] with [[Fredrik Ekblom]] and [[Thed Björk]] driving for [[Polestar Cyan Racing]].<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.cyanracing.com/racing/wtcc/cars/ |title=Cars |publisher=Cyan Racing |date=n.d. |access-date=2017-06-20 |archive-date=2017-06-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170606150750/http://www.cyanracing.com/racing/wtcc/cars/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Their [[2017 World Touring Car Championship|2017]] lineup consists of [[Thed Björk]], [[Nestor Girolami]] and [[Nick Catsburg]].

===North America===
The first generation S60 made its competitive debut in 2006, racing in the [[2006 Speed World Challenge season|Speed World Challenge]] GT class. The second-generation model was introduced for the [[2009 Speed World Challenge season|2009 season]]. In 2010, its programme was expanded to include the [[2010 SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge season|SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge]], where it won both the drivers' championship, for factory driver Randy Pobst, his fourth, and manufacturers' championships in the GT class. The programme was expanded again in 2011 to include the [[2011 Pirelli World Challenge season|Pirelli World Challenge]].<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.world-challenge.com/news/story.php?story=1948 |title=SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge |website=www.world-challenge.com |date=14 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110301002728/http://world-challenge.com/news/story.php?story=1948 |archive-date=2011-03-01 |access-date=2011-04-02 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Product placement===
In Stephenie Meyer's popular ''[[Twilight (novel series)|Twilight]]'' novel series, it is suggested that Edward drives a "shiny" and "silver" first generation Volvo S60-R, a fast [[Sleeper (car)|sleeper car]] that doesn't call attention to the Cullen family's wealth. The film series partnered with Volvo to [[Product placement|place]] a [[Volvo C30]] in the 2008 ''[[Twilight (2008 film)|Twilight]]'' film, feeling that the C30 better suited the persona of a 108 year old vampire pretending to be a 17-year-old high school student. Volvo reported an increase in the sale of the C30 in the US market following the film's release, and helped change the perception of Volvo as a "cool" car in a younger generation of buyers. Volvo continued the partnership through the series, placing the second generation '''S60''' in the 2011 film, ''[[The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1|Twilight:Breaking Dawn]]''.<ref name="Twilight Drive">{{cite news |last1=Lee |first1=Kristen |title=The Biggest Crime the Twilight Movies Committed Had to Do With a Volvo |url=https://www.thedrive.com/news/42938/the-biggest-crime-the-twilight-movies-committed-had-to-do-with-a-volvo |publisher=The Drive |date=29 October 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author1=Volvo Cars Media Relations |title=Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Features the Volvo XC60 |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/pressreleases/32948 |website=Volvo Cars |date=21 June 2010}}</ref>
