Speaking of sports cars, it can be said that it is a "dream" in the hearts of many young men. After all, compared to other models, sports cars seem to be more dynamic in design style, and they can get a lot of return rates on the road, so for young friends who pursue personality, sports cars are definitely one of the best car buying choices.
Although the presence of Polar Star in domestic electric vehicle brands is not high, it will always give people a lot of surprises in terms of the design characteristics of its products. Recently, Polestar (Polestar) launched a new concept car - Polestar O2, the name of the new car is to remove the carbon (C) in carbon dioxide (CO2), leaving only oxygen (O2), representing the meaning of environmental protection, the official said that this concept car highlights all the advantages of electric travel.
It is understood that the Polar Star O2 will use the new customized all-aluminum bonding platform developed by the Pole Star UK R&D team for the Pole Star 5, thanks to the new materials and technologies, which has the inherent advantages of tighter body control and extremely high rigidity and agile dynamic response. In simple terms, the high rigidity and high quality of the all-aluminum bonding platform help to improve the dynamic response of the vehicle. Smaller roll angles and higher roll resistance also improve the vehicle's handling performance, allowing for more precise and linear steering and more realistic hand feedback from the steering wheel.
In terms of appearance, the design language of Polar Star O2 complements Polar Star Precision, but it has not lost its own style, which fully proves that this new design language of Pole Star can be widely used in different body forms, but it has always maintained a strong family recognition. The low, wide body, 2+2 compact cockpit design, short front suspension and long wheelbase not only have the golden ratio of a sports car, but also inject a more simple and modern electric style, and the blue paint looks great.
The roof is the most interesting part of the Polar Star O2 design, which uses a folding hard roof that can be stored under the rear deck when stowed away. As a hard-top roadster, the Polar Star O2 has a smooth waistline on the side of the body, especially from the rear of the windshield to the rear, showing a smooth line that is nearly straight, giving people a design similar to a rear-drive sports car. The through-style taillights are also extremely simple, narrow in size but highly recognizable.
In addition, the vehicle also improves the aerodynamics of the vehicle and improves the endurance by improving the airflow channel between the wheels and the side of the body and using them as air blades to reduce the turbulence behind the car.
However, it has to be admitted that the Polestar O2 is an electric vehicle that completely distinguishes Polestar from Volvo, and it conveys to people that "this is a serious electric vehicle brand". Although the official does not intend to include the convertible into the future production car plan, at least the PoleStar lets us see the design concept of the future model.
The interior is also a continuation of the polar star minimalist design, the three-spoke steering wheel does not even have extra buttons, the vertical 15-inch central control large screen size is really not small, the full LCD instrument is designed to be extremely chic, the interior material, polar star O2 uses a new thermoplastic single material, even if the use of single basic materials to make different interior accessories, recycled polyester fiber material can be a single interior material widely used in soft parts in the interior, including adhesives, foam, Non-woven fabric lamination and 3D knitted fibers not only help simplify the recycling process but also reduce weight, and are an important step to improve the recyclability of materials.
In addition, different grades of aluminium are used throughout the chassis, maintaining different characteristics, ensuring that they can be recycled more efficiently in the future, and the lightweight construction can also bring an exciting driving experience.
The information on the power and endurance of the car that people are most concerned about has not been officially disclosed, but this car is equipped with a very interesting configuration, and in the released advertising film, we can see that behind the rear seats is equipped with a small drone with automatic aerial photography, which is a concept drone jointly developed by Polestar and Hoco Flow, a consumer electronics brand of Aerofugia.
Thanks to a raised design behind the rear seats, which forms a gentle negative pressure area, so that the drone can take off smoothly in the driving state of the vehicle, automatically following the vehicle at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour for shooting, the driver can not only view it in the central control screen in the car, but also edit and share these videos, obviously, this is indeed a good idea.
Che Yun summary
As for the possibility of whether polar star O2 will be mass-produced, it is not yet guaranteed. Polestar undoubtedly left a gap in the performance car category after the discontinuation of Polestar 1, and the release of Polarstar O2 filled it well.
Equipped with drones is the first breakthrough and innovation of the Polar Star brand, according to the brand's planning, Pole Star plans to launch three new cars in the next three years. Starting this year, every new car launch has the potential to gradually realize some of the ideas that these concept cars put forward. Therefore, the new cars on the market in the future may have more functions beyond driving, so let's wait and see.
