Tuned plug-in speedsters are currently rather rare. Logical, on the one hand, still extremely rare and, on the other hand, somehow also pointless to tune a car that is extremely economical. Regardless, tuner Heico does it on the Volvo V60 plug-in anyway.

As is well known, a little more power has never hurt anyone. The tuner Heico specializes in Swedish cars and has decided to use the diesel engine installed in the Volvo V60 plug-in. The five-cylinder makes 215PS ex works and has been increased to 240PS by Heico.
Tuning for the built-in electric motor has not (yet) been possible for tuner Heico. Thus the power of the electric motor remains at 68PS. Together this results in a power of 226KW / 308PS and a maximum torque of 690NM. Certainly interesting for such an inconspicuous exotic as the Volvo V60 plug-in, because nobody would suspect this power.
The extra power from Heico comes into play especially from regions of 150km / h, because the electric motor switches off and only the diesel can say that. If you want, you can equip the V60 D6 plug-in hybrid with a sports suspension or a sports exhaust system and special 20 inch rims. The tuner Heico has not yet been able to give us any prices.
