Surprised in its first tests in some secret place, the Swedish sports brand has confirmed the presence of prototypes of the new Polestar 5 at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The sports saloon that will put the icing on the Polestar electric range will demonstrate its arguments at the great British event.
Ready for maximum action, Polestar have confirmed their presence in this new edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2022the British event that will open its doors in just under two weeks, and where the Swedes will be present with two important novelties, the latest sportier special edition of the Polestar 2 and one of the prototypes of the exclusive Polestar 5.
The same Gran Turismo cut saloon which has recently been leaked in some patents that were entrusted to the American patent office, revealing the production design of what is already the most luxurious and exclusive icing on the new range of Polestar electric cars. a true GT that has been dressed in a special camouflage and will arrive at the British fair but without revealing a single detail or feature of its minimalist exterior design anticipated in the Polestar Precept concept car. What we do know, and that is very timidly appreciated, is that it follows the line of other manufacturers with the headlights divided into two levels.
Polestar 5 prototype will win over British customers
A more advanced style that inherits from the new Polestar 3, and that means putting an end to the aesthetic line maintained until now and inherited from Volvo. Of course, despite the camouflage, the official preview makes it clear that sportsmanship is one of the key qualities, along with an undisclosed aerodynamic coefficient that aspires to break a comparative record with that of the rivals who will have to duel before the middle of this decade, when it has already been confirmed that it will be launched on the market.
The official prototype shows the location of the battery charging port, placed on the left front fender, a detail that we could not see in recent spy photos since it was only caught on the right side. But what both do show is a higher tailgate compared to the patents, in addition to the existence of a very fine spoiler that can be retracted electrically on the sill of this fifth door.
The exclusive, and future, Polestar 5 is based on a special architecture for this model, whose development is taking place in the United Kingdom, equipped with the most advanced technology. From a battery between both axes of great capacity and powerful electric motors with more than 600 hpto all-wheel drive, a charging system from the 800v battery, wireless updates. Everything you need to stand up to your German rivals, along with advanced autonomous driving functions with new LiDAR sensors. The great jewel in the crown of the Gothenburg brand on the hunt for new customers.
