Don Beyer Volvo is the DC Metro Areas only Volvo dealer that supports the inner racer in all of us. We not only perform more Volvo Polestar performance upgrades than any other dealer, but we are the exclusive K-Pax Racing dealer in the Washington DC Area.

The idea of K-PAX Performance Cars was initially conceived in the fall of 2009 as a way to share what we were learning on the track with all Volvo drivers. As a race team we quickly learned that Volvo's design and construction philosophy, that results in some of the safest cars on the road, was the perfect foundation for creating a championship-winning racecar. It was this hidden DNA that we wanted to bring to the forefront of our limited edition cars and components. In essence, our goal is to do our best to showcase that Volvo's are in fact one of the best performance cars available on the market today. Safety and performance are not mutually exclusive, in fact, it's Volvo's safety philosophy that makes their vehicles such a great foundation for a genuine performance car. It is our job to add our touch to bring this hidden quality to the surface.

The Beginning
We decided on the C30 as the ideal project to introduce K-PAX Performance Cars to the world of Volvo enthusiasts and beyond. The development for both the upcoming C30 GT and our C30 Touring Car racer commenced around the same time and we quickly found that there were very few existing products available on the market that would withstand the rigors of a racing environment. Hence, we were forced to develop the majority of the components for both the C30 GT and the C30 TC racer from scratch. To ensure success we reached out to our existing racing partners, such as BBS, Brembo, Borla, Pirelli and of course, 3R Automotive to assist us in developing products for both our race and street car.
The Future
We will continue to put our understanding and experience of Volvo vehicles to relentlessly pursue our quest to produce exquisite and unique vehicles that showcase the true performance nature of all Volvo's.
Our Business Model
Racing is and always will be the core of our product and business model. Our operations are set up to be very lean, focusing our resources on product development and pushing the responsibilities of customer service out to the retailers. Working closely with the retailers is another reason we can with confidence offer our exceptional warranty, as we are assured that all of our products are installed by professionals with intimate knowledge of all Volvo's.
K-Pax Products
Purchasing products from K-PAX Performance Cars will directly contribute to our race team operations at K-PAX Racing. Any potential profits that are made by K-PAX Performance Cars will be directly funneled into our race operations making sure that our Volvo's will continue to be dominant on racetracks across North America.
Our product development philosophy at K-PAX Performance Cars is to create limited edition cars and components that enhance and bring out the true performance nature that is embedded in the Volvo design philosophy. Furthermore, we aim to create a product that is exquisitely unique and that brings out true pride in ownership. Although most of our products are developed by our race team and race partners, the objective of K-PAX Performance Cars is to develop products that the customer can live with on a daily basis, without any compromises. If you want a real racecar, we can do that too.

Polestar Performance increases the performance of your Volvo Â
Polestar Performance optimizes the power and torque in your Volvo. It makes the car more lively and fun to drive and increases safety in situations where you need extra performance, such as when passing. All this without increasing fuel consumption or affecting your Volvo's Original Warranty.
Power optimization is developed by Polestar's technicians, who have optimized Volvo cars for racing circuits since 1996. Our skills are well documented in the results lists. Our long collaboration with Volvo now makes it possible to offer power optimization for your Volvo, installed by your Volvo workshop, while retaining the Original Warranty. Now you no longer need to take risks with "chip tuning" to achieve an enhanced driving experience.
Fuel consumption and the environment
A Volvo with the Polestar Performance package has the same certified fuel consumption as the standard version. This is made possible by our efficient engine tuning, which only increases the power output when it is needed, i.e. for passing, long uphill gradients or driving with heavy trailers. This also means that the car's environmental impact remains unchanged and keeps within the limits for permitted certified emissions. In practice, it is fully possible to use Polestar's power optimization to reduce fuel consumption slightly, if you drive in an environmentally sound manner with rapid acceleration and maintain an even speed with low engine load.
Improved performance and higher safety in the hands of a driver with good judgment result in better engine performance and increased active safety in traffic. Better acceleration allows faster overtaking of slow-moving vehicles such as trucks, trailers and RVs. Quite simply, it reduces the time required to complete the pass. Volvo's original speed inhibitor is unchanged. We give your Volvo higher power output and better torque in the range the engine most often works in. Our racing drivers call this improving the car's driveability. They want the car to be optimized for racing. You want the car to be optimized for driving on streets and roads.
Fast and easy to install at Don Beyer Volvo
Polestar Performance can be installed by our professionals at Don Beyer Volvo. If you have ordered in advance, the work is carried out promptly and you can pick your upgraded Volvo the same day. Installation could easily be made in conjunction with a regular service, tire change, installation of Volvo accessories or reconditioning. As with other Volvo Original Accessories, Polestar Performance can increase the resale value of your Volvo. Â
