Spotted in Hällered: Polestar 2

There's no shortage of sightings out in Hällered. Moose, deer, wolverines, hawks, and more have all been spotted out in the wooded areas of western Sweden. Even 5-door all-electric fastbacks.

The Polestar 2 is out of the production facilities and into the world. The verification prototype cars (an early build of the car for testing purposes) are now being driven on the variegated roads of the Hällered Proving Ground and its surroundings.

At this stage, everything is being tested. This is the first real-world experience the Polestar 2 is getting, and therefore, all the input is valid. Acceleration, handling, aerodynamics, braking, charging, responsiveness, and many more aspects are being exhaustively tested, all amongst the towering pines and lashing rain of Sweden.

Now there’s something new to see in the forested groves of Hällered. And it has 660 Nm of torque.

Performance meets performance

What defines the perfect shot? Absolute precision. In tennis, the greatest victories often come down to razor-thin margins. A shot that’s too long sails out of bounds. A shot that’s too short leaves an opening for your opponent. It is in the smallest gap between the two, where power meets precision, that great careers are made and inspiring stories begin. For Félix Auger-Aliassime, the quest for precision drives every match he plays. He spends thousands of hours repeating the same motion, fine-tuning every detail so that power, finesse, and control all come into play.
