Cars get little more specialist. They also, to our eyes at least, barely get cooler. The V60 has a lot going for it quirky Swedish looks, a turbo- and supercharged engine, and some very geeky ten-way adjustable Ohlins dampers to ensure it rides and handles properly.There"s one snag: Volvo used to sell it with a sonorous six-cylinder engine, but has now fitted a downsized 2.0-litre four-cylinder. But thanks to that twin-charging, it produces 362bhp more than its predecessor which helps yield that 4.8-second sprint, 0.2secs quicker than before.And crucially, you can still buy it in Rebel Blue. It costs nearly 50,000, but with 120 making it to the UK, you can expect it to remain sought after.Honourable mention goes to both the Volkswagen Golf R estate, and Mercedes-AMG C43, both recording the same 0-62mph sprint time (4.8s). We"ve picked the Polestar for our top ten for obvious reasons.
