Volvo S60 TTA spec

Second post of the week, and I saw this image below in Autosport magazine this week Volvo S60 that will race in this seasons TTA Racing Elite League, a breakaway series from the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship (STCC).



The split between the TTA teams which includes Polestar and STCC ,because the STCC are bring in the British NGTC regulations this season. Therefore TTA teams confirmed not long after that they are going to form their own series this year called TTA Racing Elite League. So, basically the TTA Racing League concept will be cars that are over 400bhp V6's with a KERS system in a space-frame touring car. So basically a heavy based 1990's super touring cars/Mini DTM cars what I am seeing.

Polestar Racing who have build a racing Volvo C30 for Swedish Touring Car Championship, Scandinavian Touring Cars and World Touring Cars Championship for the past few years. They also, have build a one off 450-brake horsepower, five cylinder four-wheel-drive street based C30 prototype. Will create a Volvo S60 under TTA rules.

Under the S60 body will have a 420-bhp, V6 driving to the rear wheels through a six-speed gearbox and boosted by a similar KERS regenerative braking system as in Formula One. Other cars we will see in the series more than likely are Audi A4, BMW 3 series, Alfa Romeo 159 and Citroen C5s.



Speaking of Volvo Polestar C30, the 450 bhp Polestar C30 prototype around the Nordschleife in a little two and a half minute video below on YouTube. Enjoy.
