Obscenely long name nothwithstanding, the Polestar Performance Volvo C30->ke451 Performance Concept Prototype is one tasty vehicle, not just because it's been tuned up to appease the inner race car driver in all of us, but because the finished product is actually better than any of us expected given that it is, after all, a Volvo->ke188.

To make sure that we get to know the prototype racer to a tee, the folks from Volvo, together with their counterparts from Polestar Performance, have released a walk-through video of the souped-up C30. This video describes every painstaking detail of the Volvo courtesy of Derek Crabb, Volvo's vice president of powertrain engineering and the executive director of motorsports engineering, and Christian Dahl, managing director of Polestar.

Needless to say, both men offer some pretty insightful takes on the car, most of which should give Volvo enthusiasts a taste of what it would feel like to sit behind the wheel of the tuned-up C30.
