Recently, Polar star has created a Pole Star 2 "Arctic Circle Special Edition" model, and the new car is only a display vehicle and will not be put into mass production.
Inspired by the Winter Rally, the model is based on an upgraded long-endurance version of the Polestar 2 dual-motor long-endurance with an optional high-performance kit. The body is 30 mm higher, capable of producing 350 kW maximum power and 680 Nm peak torque, and is equipped with custom 19-inch tires with 4 mm snow spikes (490 snow spikes per tire).
Joakim Rydholm, Chief Chassis Engineer and Chief Test driver at Polestar, said: "Tuning the chassis in ice and snow tests is like developing in 'slow motion', which helps to improve the accuracy of the adjustment. In conditions with lower grip, we can feel and analyze vehicle dynamics at a much slower speed than on tarmac, adjusting vehicle performance from subtleties. That's why I like to develop cars in this extremely cold condition. ”
Designed and developed in conjunction with Ohlins, the world's top shock absorbing brand, polaris 2 "Arctic Circle Special Edition" is equipped with Ohlins three-flow valve shock absorbers, the spring is 30% softer, the front and rear shocks are adjusted to 9th gear, and equipped with auxiliary adjustment lining. The original 4-piston Brembo front brake calipers were retained. To increase torsional stiffness and steering responsiveness, the vehicle is equipped with front and rear strut brackets. The prototype of the newly designed catapult control system was also integrated into the paddles on the steering wheel. In addition, the rear of the car is equipped with a carbon fiber snow shovel and recycling belt.
Exterior, the 19-inch OZ Racing wheels, four Stedi Quad Pro LED headlamps, a unique matte off-white exterior livery, and a custom charcoal-colored Recaro barrel racing seat, with the blessing of swedish gold's gilding process, bring the immed-look of rally racing to the Polar Star 2 "Arctic Circle Special Edition". At the same time, the front bumper is equipped with carbon fiber skid plates, which provide additional bottom protection for the vehicle.
Joakim Rydholm added: "I wanted to have more fun in this car than usual – a car that can really experience the performance and handling of the vehicle on a frozen lake and in extremely cold environments." When the vehicle is completely sideways into the corners, we improve the predictability of the vehicle's balance and trajectory by increasing the driving height and replacing the special tires, leaving the driver with a smile on his face because the vehicle is in full control. ”
