It is a fabulous one, they used it later for the C30 Polestar (PCP) which unfortunately never made it into production, shame, it sounded magnificent over there with 400 horsepower and 500~ Nm of torque.
Correct, from Volvo. But it was called the ST225 as the standard ST had 225PS. But a simple remap brought the power to 270PS and 450Nm. This gives it pretty close to RS performance for (nowadays) less than half the price.
