Polestar's chassis team is tuning the Polestar 1 handling balance in extreme winter conditions. Polestar's chassis engineer and test driver Joakim Rydholm is leading the handling evaluation process.

Polestar 1 winter test

Watch how the Öhlins shock absorbers combined with different rear anti-roll bar settings are tested and evaluated at high speeds. Each setting step is half a millimeter in difference, from a 20 to a 25-millimeter diameter. Top speed in the test drive is 200 km/h (124 mph). The Polestar 1 prototype car used in the test is stripped of all driver support systems so that the test driver can feel the exact base chassis settings. These tests are performed on a closed test track located in Sweden, just inside the Arctic Circle. The temperature is -25°C (-13 °F).

Looking back at the future: Goodwood Festival of Speed

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is where the old meets the new. Where the classic and the modern coexist. It showcases the past, present, and future of car culture, like no other event. So, we thought it best to bring something new, and something (g)old. Something rare, and, of course, a story to be told.

Details make a difference: Polestar 2 design and performance upgrades

Sometimes, the smallest things can have the greatest impact. A fitting sentiment from a company made up of the detail-obsessed. Since Polestar's inception, the details have been in focus. As has our ambition to constantly improve.
