Volvo will release its heavily revised S60 this July, and claims the car will better to drive than ever. The manufacturer says virtually the entire suspension system of the car has been upgraded in a bid to stop the steering being tugged to and fro under hard acceleration. Revised settings for Sport models also mean a more nimble driving experience, Volvo says. – What Car?
New front and rear shock absorbers, springs, anti-roll bars and bushes all aim to provide a sportier drive, something that has alluded even the S60 R until now.Those shock absorbers are 24 per cent stiffer and are said by Volvo to increase the S60’s torsional rigidity {I believe they mean roll stiffness?] by 25 per cent. Solid steering bushes are to reduce torque steer and improve steering feel.Volvo claims that the S60’s ride quality has been maintained. – Autocar
