ROCKLEIGH, N.J. (Oct. 31, 2012) - Volvo Cars of North America (VCNA) announced today factory-authorized performance tuning software for several earlier Volvo models is now available at Volvo retailers across the country.

 

The Polestar performance tuning software is now available for the following models:

 

T6 Engines - 281 HP to 311 HP
