Polestar unveiled its idea of ​​an electric roadster through the new concept car < strong> Polestar O & # 8322; . The automaker describes it as “ a hardtop convertible that shows how they envision a convertible car capable of delivering high performance and a breathtaking driving experience, with all the benefits of mobility; electric & quot ;. Let's find out its main details.

WILL WE SEE IT ON THE STREET?

The design of the new they were inspired by that of Polestar Precept.

The bodywork with low and wide lines and a gritty character, the compact design of the 2 + 2-seater passenger compartment, the minimal overhangs and the long wheelbase take up the classic proportions of sports cars, revisiting them for & ograve; in a decidedly modern and electric key.

A lot of attention & egrave; was given to the development of aerodynamics . Through a series of measures such as integrated air intakes that improve the flow of air over the wheels and to the sides of the body, and rear lights that divert the flow of air to reduce turbulence in the rear of the vehicle, it is ; it was possible to improve the efficiency of the aerodynamics and thus increase the autonomy.

The brand designed the concept car Polestar O & # 8322; to offer a fun and aggressive driving dynamics. A result possible thanks to the use of the platform in glued aluminum made to measure, created from the one developed for the Polestar 5 by Polestar's research and development team in the UK.

The high quality; and rigidity; of the glued aluminum platform aim to guarantee an even more response; dynamic. The maneuvering dynamics & egrave; stiff, thanks also to reduced roll angles and high roll damping, while the steering, agile and direct, is; linear, with a significant increase in steering torque.

With this concept car, Polestar wanted to reaffirm once again its commitment to sustainability . For example, the soft parts in the passenger compartment – foams, adhesives, fibers for 3D knitting and laminated non-woven fabric – are made exclusively from recycled polyester . In addition, the interior is largely made of a new thermoplastic monomaterial. This means that to make different components you & egrave; starting from a single base material.

The frame is; made using different classes of aluminum. Each is appropriately labeled, in order to guarantee more recycling; effective and preserve its characteristics. Inside the car, Polestar also introduced a lot of innovation. For example, the manufacturer has equipped it with an autonomous cinematic drone behind the rear seats that can & ograve; be taken off while the car is being taken off on the go to record driving sequences to share on social networks.

The drone can automatically follow the car up to a speed; 90 km/h and the driver can & ograve; choose between a suggestive sequence, perfect along the coastal roads, and a sequence that focuses more on the action with a more; sporty. Videos can be edited and shared directly from the 15-inch central display when the car is stop.

It will arrive & agrave; ever a stock version? Nothing & egrave; has been said about it but we know well that in 2024 it will debut & agrave; the Polestar 5 which derives from the Precept concept car. Therefore, it is not; except that, in the future, from the Polestar O & # 8322; may derive some series model. Finally, no information on the engine, batteries, autonomy and performance.
