Volvo C30 PCP driven
You saw it on the show - now remind yourself just how good this little Volvo is...

There are a number of Very Fast Hot Hatches around at the moment. The 350bhp Focus RS500 has just landed. We're getting our hands on the 395bhp Cosworth Impreza very, very soon. And don't forget about the Golf R.
But this might just be the fastest of the bunch...Words: Sam Philip

The Polestar C30 uses the 2.5-litre turbo five-pot already found in the T5 (and the Focus ST and RS), but heavily revised and fitted with a larger turbocharger to achieve that 400bhp output. There's less turbo lag than in, say, the Evo FQ-400, and once the engine gets spinning past 4,000rpm, things get all warpy and ballistic. Oh, and it sounds like half an old F1 engine. Deafening. Brilliant.
