This might not be the forum for this, but I have read of an upgrade on this forum. A friend of mine that works at the dealership told me he was told by a Volvo tech there that the new T6 has a HP upgrade to 407 with a Polestar tune. It costs $1600 but each dealership can give one away as a way to introduce it to the public. 407 hp - anyone hear of this?

The tune upgrade is for 325hp, at least the one that they are currently selling. There is some talk of a future super wild Polestar R with 400+ hp but currently its still a pipe-dream.
Why? It doesn't seem unrealistic. Maybe a *little* high but an increase of 80 horse is really not that big of an increase. You guys have to keep in mind an in-line 6 can make power much easier than an in-line 5. Tuning does wonders....

That maybe true but I haven't seen nor heard of Polestar offering such a tune.

So, to answer the OP, no, none of us have heard about that upgrade for the NORMAL S60 or S60 R-DESIGN. That is, none of us care since it's not for a REAL R.
Go find out if it's true, and if it is, enjoy one hell of a fast car. Also, 80HP from a tune isn't at all unrealistic based on how ridiculously conservative the T6 engine is.
For example, a bone stock 1.8T Jetta can get 64hp from a tune with no supporting mods
