The Volvo S60 V8 Supercar was a silhouette touring car built to race in the Australian V8 Supercars championship. It was based on the second generation Volvo S60 road car and was designed and assembled by Garry Rogers Motorsport in conjunction with Volvo Cars and Polestar Racing to the Car of the Future rules introduced in 2013. Volvo announced the three year program in June 2013, and the car raced in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons. The planned engine was a Yamaha designed B8444S whose bore and stroke were increased from 4.4 to 5.0 litres to meet the series rules, but it was substituted with a Chevrolet unit derived from the Holden Commodore VF during homologation. Scott McLaughlin won races in it and finished third in the 2016 drivers championship. Volvo quit the category after 2016, and two of the three chassis were sent to Sweden.
