Polestar's experimental high-performance piece designed for the Goodwood speed festival in 2021, the electric car nicknamed "beast" will enter limited production** The Swedish electric car manufacturer announced that it plans to produce and sell 270 476 horsepower scooters, 47 of which are intended to be sold in the US market.
Polar 2 "BST version 270" is named after the number of vehicles it manufactures and will be exclusively available in Europe, China and North America. The modified polar 2 has a dual engine configuration, which can output 476 HP after adjustment, compared with 408 HP in the mass production version. The attitude of the car has also been widened by 10mm on both sides and the ride height has been reduced by 2mm to improve its track handling.
It even inherited some features of the first polestar car, namely, the discontinued plug-in hybrid polestar 1, including 9 x 21 inch wheels and 275/30r21 Pirelli pzero Rosso high-performance tires. However, although the Goodwood version uses the 6-piston Akebono front brake, this version will include the standard 4-piston Brembo brake. Other add-on devices include the specially developed unique "Ohlins" bi-directional adjustable shock absorber, with an auxiliary adjusting chamber installed under the hood to improve traction and responsiveness. There is also a front support rod to improve the rigidity and increase the hardness of the spring by 20%.
The polar 2 BST version 270 will begin production in mid-2022 and is scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of this year. Interested buyers can join the waiting list on the website of polar. The selected lucky few will go through a "personalized sales process". As a performance sub brand of Volvo, polar has become one of the more interesting electric vehicle companies in the market in recent years. The company, which is jointly owned by Volvo and Volvo's parent company Geely, recently announced plans to go public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The merger is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022, after which polestar will become a listed company.
So far, polestar has only released two models: the hybrid coupe polestar 1 and the polestar 2 coupe, which are worth $155000. With the launch of the 2022 polar 3 SUV, 2023 polar 4 compact SUV and 2024 polar 5 (n é e concept) sports sedan, this lineup will continue to grow. The company also released a stylish convertible sports car concept called polar O2.
