Are you heading out to the Goodwood FoS this weekend? If you are, you might spot this: the 761bhp Polestar 5, an incoming Swedish rival to a Porsche Taycan Turbo S –
– not to mention a few of the F1 teams dotted around the countryside. Polestar’s British R&D team started out small, with just 81 staff in 2018, but will grow extremely quickly with the expansion of its UK facility, eventually supporting a staff count of 800 by the end of this year.The reason behind Polestar’s decision to set up a satellite engineering hub outside of its Gothenburg and Chengdu HQ and manufacturing centres was for a very simple and enticing reason.
The bonded aluminium chassis itself will give engineers the chance to streamline its structure to reduce weight, and deliver specific proportions unique from any Volvo model. The construction method itself isn’t dissimilar to the system employed by Aston Martin, and should also yield excellent torsional rigidity.
For those not already familiar with the Polestar brand, it started life as a high performance wing ofIt initially launched the plug-in hybrid Polestar 1 as a halo model for the brand, with the 2 now in full production, and further 3 and 4 SUVs still to come in the next two years, but a year after that, in 2024, this Polestar 5 will be introduced, which is where things get really exciting.
Other elements have also been directly brought over from the Precept, including the compact split headlights which are driven by a new interpretation of the Thor’s Hammer headlight graphic, while the grille has been replaced entirely, now forming both a home for the concept’s safety sensors and driving assistance functions.
