Misha's making another video with the choking seatbelt. Some might begin to think that he's starting to develop a kink.

Misha : the car is shoking me Polestar : but he didn't say stop

You know Misha, on the polestar you have you can adjust the damper stiffness, like on coilovers, it would be fun seeing if it would make the car handle better, I think there is a guide in the instruction book ;)

Now you're just showing off that Jahreskarte :D

haven't been laughing so hard for a long time when at the carousel the seatbelt attempted to chop off your head. My girlfriend asked me, what was about and we replayed it. Awesome!

We cannot wait to see what you can do with summer tyres and better track conditions 😍

I could notice that passion and joy in your eyes, on every curb LOL. You & EV's :)

6:22 Of course you have lots of confidence Misha, with a seatbelt like that you're obviously really safe.

I was hoping for this video, the first lap was so funny xD

Thankyou Misha - I like how these styles of video give a hint at the potential high quality experience of coaching and instruction through Apex. Your experience with the seatbelt is a bit like those breathing exercises for fighter pilots - quite funny!

This is a interesting format. I would like to see more car test on the Nurburgring from this channel please.

Sitting here in Australia 🇦🇺 I think I had almost as much fun watching as you did driving. That Polster seems sensational to drive.

I was in tears laughing at that seatbelt tensioner. Thanks Misha. I needed a good laugh today.

Thanks for the information. Learn something everyday. Not sure about the choking feature on this thing. There will be someone who likes it for sure. A simple on/off button or setting might be enough to sort the issue out.

This Video showed me a lot of the possible lighting conditions you can have on the track. Thanks for the Video

Great video - that 2door white bimmer almost lost it initially when he pulled over Right to let you by. I think the Yaris should be set up to take all the curbs - rally style

Great to see your open mindset to EVs Misha. In the first video you asked what we want to see: 1. What is your opinion about the "Sport mode, ESC off". It is supposed to put more torque to rear, and allow for some more slip. (It definitely loosen up the rear on Norwegian winter roads), but do you get the impression of overall more or less power in total, or just a shift towards the rear? 2. Play around with the adjustable suspension please, and let us know which settings you prefer for the Nordschleife. 3. If someone could please let us know about a extension cable kit that can be mounted to rear Öhlins dampers, that would be really helpful. These are kind of cumbersome to adjust, and preferably an extension that could be routed to trunk would be ideal. Great channel overall, cheers.

Wipperman is awesome. I always take both just because it feels so good when you get them right!

Stay off most, if not all, kerb stones (especially if you don't want your car choking you out). Awesome guide 👍

Misha , I am watching your Chanel for a bit long , I really enjoy it. You could probably put a gopro in the speedometer so we can see the speed in the corners .

Good video

Great vid Misha.👌🏻🤟🏻

that seatbelt :D , its very funny to see your face when the polstar Seatbelt kicks in hahaha :D

Um...looks like fun in the Polestar...the kind that’ll take your breathe away. Damnit now I have that song stuck in my head; thanks a lot Misha 😏

Might want to put a "S" lock on the seat belt close to the top "pulley" to avoid choking. Will not be the safest thing to do in case of a crash but it won't be worse than any car without this system

Matt Farah did a review and had some of the same gripes and praises on the Polestar, would be cool to see a GT or LM Polestar!!

I Like this Surprise-Car ❤️🏁

Good video 👌 love the chokestar 2🙂

You got sidetracked fast :D I feel like ending summary should've been at the beginning. (Racecar vs road car curb philosophy) Also doing it on a second lap so you're not fighting against the car would end up being much more professional looking. But nonetheless that spirit of a live lap with all the unexpectedness that comes with racing is something special. Cheers!

The seat belt mid while in sport mode is a great idea. Polestar could make the mod and send it to the car for testing. Bet they are getting great data out of your laps.

Thanks Misha for your explanations and polestar lap! Enjoyed watching! But one more important question here: please check out that you can adjust the “Zugstufe” on this car having the performance package on it. Why don’t you adjust to a more hard setup and show us another lap with a sporty setup! Would be a good complementary message how good the suspension of the Polestar 2 is designed! And perhaps do it with summer tyres again 😂😉👍🍀

It depends basically, because many of these curbs are very OLD SCHOOL They’re totally not comfortable for the car because they’re tall and definitely not smooth compared to the curbs on the F1 GP circuit.

Breathtaking indeed, Keanu would be proud

The car just really loves you and wants to hold you tight!

Good Video Misha 👌 The seat belt 😂👍🙌 ✌☺🍺

The Polestar 2 is the most environmentally friendly vehicle. If the systems detect that the driver is driving in a very harmful manner to the environment, the seat belt is tightened until the driver fails to do so. Important: This can possibly lead to the death of the driver. Volvo and her daughter do not accept any responsibility in this case.

You could after a few laps try to fine tune those ollhins to the circuit that will be even better. If it wasn't that seatbelt you could go much faster, it's a shame because the package is there and you still are with winter tyres. This reviews show how fast the battery is drained fully and that is being pioneer in this matter. Thanks for showing the full potential 👍

Awesome topic, Thanx...please do part 2 with Boris in a car with belts not trying to strangle you ;)

Misha, what is the fastest* EV you have driven or been a passenger in? Which EV's are you looking forward to being available?

Mischa i Hope you’re fine and no blue ones on your chest? Great instructions on the curbstone !! Outside the safety belt issues of the polestar. It drives like-a tank?/ tractor 🚜?! Let us know

Polestar to Misha while taking curbstones: "Tap out Misha, tap out!"

Misha, Can you maybe find a Cupra formentor to review and drive on the ring? It's such a popular car and a lot of people are curious about it's performance 😃

I drove an XC40 T5 for a while and one day drove over a set of train tracks a little too quick tossing the body up a little and got the seatbelt choke 😅

Hallo Misha, nice lap this polestar 2 is fun

Polestar with optional auto asphyxiation mode 🤣

Curious to get your feedback on the Kia EV6 GT.

I would only use (I mean really use) the curbs at exit Foxhole, Wipperman, Wipperman and Eiskurve. A few others (for example exit Ex-Mühle) I may touch with the outside wheels just to keep the car from sliding too much. DISCLAIMER: I only have about 50 laps experience, follow my advice on your own risk!

The one with Misha and his choking belt

Misha i have a question! Are the brakes witch come with the yaris good enough for a track day? If not witch do you recomend?

He needs to go to Driving->Assistance and adjust the collision mitigation and stuff. There are a few options there that will let him have more power into and out of curves etc and also not beep so much..

Misha added the choke cam to this video. Free chest compression with some cornering actions.

Car throttle would definitely approve this video

in Brazil because of the horrible roads, undulations and potholes, all Volvo do this, often to the point of hanging you, it is very scary if you are not used to it

You maybe should have included that each curb you take also stresses the car, especially good to know for beginners with maybe used project cars or trying out daily drivers. Also, you upset the balance sometimes and even lose time, for example if you have a FWD car it can get wheelspin.

Wow! That seatbelt is choking really hard.

Did you try deactivating the "harder daddy" setting on the infotainment screen?

Volvo/Polestar trying to achieve 0 fatality. Although, would that seatbelt might crack some ribs.

Misha, i'm pretty sure you can turn the seatbrelt setting off....

Why does this video remind me of the radar trap scene from the movie Super Troopers...?

"Using all the track as you paid for it..."....priceless!

The steering column doesn’t come toward you enough to get a seat position where the belt crosses on the shoulder?! I guess a bright yellow bear hug is not your thing ... I guess the safe word is in development for track use!!! LOL! Fun viewing at your expense... The Volvo seatbelt is tame compared to my pickup belts ... especially when off road !!! Drivers position is key! Ask Robert!

You can drive my 850 R wagon on the Nurburgring! ;)

Misha one personal question: are you in some kind SM story? 😁😁😁

Yeah, homework can wait...

5:27 did you just say " G A S " in an electric car? HOW DARE YOU! oh and: the polestar is holding you hostage.

I recall a few years ago you mentioned an idiot turning up at Apex to rent car and he was flashing a Racing Licence. Whilst he was out on track, he smashed up the rims on his rental car, where do you reckon he curbed it to destroy the wheels?

Good morning Carmrades

... literally!

I’m dying laughing watching this video and reading the comments 😂

features for safety and economy should be working without bothering you. same deal with start-stop. when it came out, it was horrible in most cars with a huge rattle and delay starting the car. Now with 48V systems, its fast and almost unnoticable.

Volvo: Strain the seat belt. - Misha: Harder you sexy beast! Volvo: What? - Misha: What?

Just refer to Kubica's run to see those curbs taken at speed. Very entertaining.

The polestar Daddy

Did you ever consider adjusting the seatbelt properly before filming this video?

The bondage is strong in this video. I suspect on summer tires it will be worse.

It looked like you were being strangled by the seat belts when you went over some of the kerbs. Shame really and you're right about a 'Track Option' to stop it.

should he mentioned that he did two laps with a full battery?

"it tried to kill me once" was a comment of Jeremy Clarkson about an Alfa GTV6, jaming its propshaft.... so make sure, you're not going to say that about a tightening seatbelt of that PoleStar2.

Holy shit the belt got super tight in carousel. U can actually see it on the video how fast it tightens

Polestar 2, the car you need a safeword to drive xD

RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG

gg

I wonder how much battery power is wasted by the seatbelt motor. SMH

Don't be gentle, it's rentle :D

Thanks for the video, hit me up with the 2,5% kickback 😜

"I want to live.... kinda" -Misha denying his inner depression, 2k21

A simple rule for using curbstones: own car, stay away from it. Someone else's car, full over it, you don't have to pay for the parts ;-)

Kinkyyyyyy

I think they should calibrate the seat belt issue a bit hahaha

ROFL, plus great advice for free. :)

So 2 laps and it needs charging?? 😃🤔

Misha's enjoying that seatbelt a little *too* much 😒😳

Hi Misha..👋🖐 just a quick update: michelles dad is recovering in hospital ICU. Thank you Lord..🙏🙏 We been busy visiting her dad & arranging her mums cremation & funeral service. (My work boss given me compassionate leave & payed time off, for which I'm truly thankful !!) Godbless bro & hava good day 🙂

Hahaha....that’s hilarious.

I was only hoping you could catch up with that 1M....

You should ask Polestar for the safe-word...

You look uncomfortable being strangled by your seatbelt. Is everything okay? ;)

Driving and high power heavy SUV on track is like using a swab with shit on it against enemies with real katanas you might not win the true battle, but they will certainly avoid any combat

Why dont u test it somewhere real????...like the speed humps at the local mall.
