@ picture number 7 of the interior at the back looks like they just folded the seats down (which just reminded me of that lad who said his car was quicker with the seats down )

repost

People said that Ford didn't use Volvo's 4wd system on the RS because it was too heavy, expensive, couldn't handle the power, blah blah blah

Polestar managed to do it

I like that.

And as Seth says, at least they put a decent set of brakes on it. I'll never understand Fords idea of putting single pots on a 300bhp car. Same with the MPS.

In fairness they stop pretty well, but you'd think all that money and power they'd have a set of brakes that look decent and wear the pads evenly

Yeah they do work alright, I'm just surprised considering the cars in it's league all mostly have 4 pot Brembos etc, that it still runs single pot calipers.
