Following the launch of the brand's first concept car, the Precept, at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, Polestar recently launched the second concept car, the O2, according to its design language, which is also the first convertible model of the Polestar brand.
---- good looking, but also more fun
Just as the Precept was launched with a stunning four-seater, the O2 is also a concept car full of futuristic design. While maintaining a distinct family design style, through the low body, short front overhang, long wheelbase, and 2+2 compact cockpit design, the O2 not only has the visual proportions of a sports car, but also injects a more futuristic electric vehicle style.
The Polestar O2 also optimizes the aerodynamic design of the body to maximize the endurance of the vehicle. Examples include the integration of in-flow air ducts on both sides of the wheels and body, and the use of taillights with air guides to reduce spoilage. As Maximilian Missoni, Design Director of PoleStar, puts it: "O2 is a fusion of technology and art, presenting a confident but not radical gesture. ”
The appearance of many convertibles in the impression is difficult to "have the best of both worlds", that is, only one of the open or closed tents is more beautiful. But what makes the O2 feel great is that the designer designed its front windshield to be harmonious with the front line and coherent and aesthetic, and at the same time, it can be connected with the towering hard-roof storage compartment at the rear of the cockpit into a natural tangent like a mountain, whether it is covered with a hard top or not, this natural and bright feeling maintains a consistent sense of coordination.
Also, when the hard top is covered, there is a large area of glass roof that can provide translucent lighting, wonderful!
Even better, polar star O2 can actually carry an automatic aerial drone behind the rear seat of the vehicle. The concept drone was developed by Polestar in collaboration with Hoco Flow, Aerofugia's consumer electronics brand, and can take off while the car is on the move.
what! When the car is running, the wind is so strong, how does the drone take off? Hey, Polar Star engineers really opened their brain holes, and developed a unique rear wing for O2, which can create a negative air pressure area suitable for drone take-off in the rear of the car, so that it can also take off when the vehicle is driving. The drone can run fully automatically and automatically follow the O2 with a maximum speed of 90km/h. Once the shoot is complete, the drone can automatically return to the vehicle and edit and share video footage from the vehicle's 15-inch center display.
--Crystallization of technology and technology
Polar star O2 is built with a new customized all-aluminum bonding platform developed by pole star UK team for pole star 5, which can not only bring obvious lightweight benefits to the vehicle, but also play a high rigidity effect, bringing tighter body control, more agile dynamic response, and the vernacular point is to provide drivers with a more enjoyable driving feeling.
In the interior section, Polaris O2 uses recycled polyester fiber materials as a single interior material, including foam, adhesives, 3D knitted fibers and non-woven laminated layers... Etc., not only to simplify the recycling process, but also to reduce the weight and waste problems, is an important step to improve the recyclability of materials.
The emergence of the O2 illustrates the future vision and conception of the Polar Star brand for new energy convertibles, and also proves its design and research and development strength. However, as far as the current Polar Star brand has only 2 commercially available models, it is a bit logistical but the front line is weak and regretful, I hope that PoleStar will launch more commercial products as soon as possible, after all, there are consumer word-of-mouth-based brands and products, there will be a more complete development combat force!
Come all come, don't you like it?
