The Volvo S60 was a silhouette touring car built to compete in the V8 Supercars championship. Based on the second-generation Volvo S60 road car, the vehicle – designed and assembled by Garry Rogers Motorsport in conjunction with Volvo Cars and Polestar Racing – was constructed to the "Car of the Future" V8 Supercars regulations introduced in 2013, with the car used across the 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons of Australian touring car racing.
