UPDATED Polestar 2 Upsets Supercars... on the Nürburgring!
Рет қаралды 1,079,864
Күн бұрынEarlier this year I was able to exprience Polestar 2. A great all-round EV and impressive performance DNA. There were two issues back then: the car was on winter tyres, which is not the best scenario for a race track. And the car was overheating halfway through the lap, which was not an ejoyable exprience. Polestar team worked hard with the feedback I gave them and created something special... something that I want.

The main advantage of an full-ev is that it could learn the track and save -it on it's memory, next time after few setups can be pushed harder & faster so it will do a faster time with each lap.. i saw that watching the 2019 -WTCR touring racing series with 'Lync CO 03 TCR -Cyan' .. Polestar learned a lot from that..

Such a fan of the Polestar brand! They are effectively the logical followup on the crazy 850r, s60r, v70r, s60 Polestar and such Volvos in a time where big turbocharged 5 (6) cylinders are no longer allowed. Might not have the noise of a 5 cylinder but a slightly more social city car. Polestar 2 or Polestar precept is probably going to be my next car. So why they make them? Because idiots like me love them!

I am still very social in my S60R... 270k miles and maintained! Which is more socially responsible: driving a car until it dies completely and can no longer be used, or throwing one away every 5 or 7 years and replacing it with another new one that is using up even more resources? I get the move to EV and I get the thought process of "more efficient" but we also really should consider how much less resources are used once a car is produced to keep it running. Besides, that B5254T4 at full throttle is still one of the sexiest sounds on the planet!
