Bitauto's original Polestar 6 LA Concept edition will be released on September 15, 2022, with a global limited edition of 500 units. span> has officially opened reservations for the Chinese market. There are 10 quotas available in the Chinese market, and all have been sold out. We are currently applying for additional quotas for the Chinese market, and the global market will soon be sold out. The suggested retail price is 1.68 million yuan. From Polestar O2 to Polestar 6, from concept to production car, Polestar 6 not only witnesses the rapid development of the Polestar brand, but also embodies the Polestar brand It has a unique style of its own. In this article, let’s take a look at the style of the new car.
Appearance:
The extremely simple design concept has become the style throughout the entire vehicle. Everyone has long been accustomed to the closed air intake grille of electric models, and the new car is named "Polestar SmartZone" for the front. Integrated sensors provide a sharper front "smell" to achieve a series of driving assistance functions. Polestar SmartZone is designed as a transparent smart panel that integrates two radar sensors and a high-definition camera to prepare for the upgrade of active safety technology and autonomous driving assistance technology.
The split headlights on both sides are improved from the iconic "Thor's Hammer" design idea. The LED light groups are separated up and down, and the shape is very sharp.
The effect after lighting up is also unforgettable. Just imagine a convertible sports car with such sharp eyes flying past you silently in a silent night. This is definitely an extremely sci-fi scene.
In addition, the overall visual effect of the front is very wide, and combined with the low body height, the sports car style is still in place.
The two-door four-seater design seems to make people think that this will be a GT model, but this is not the case. The performance-oriented new car has 22-inch exclusive wheels, and they are center-locking wheels. It is ready to be launched. The racing style is very exciting, and the interior is also equipped with sizable multi-piston brakes and large brake discs.
In addition to being handsome and sci-fi, the new car has also put a lot of effort into aerodynamics. The new car integrates air-guiding ducts on both sides of the wheels and body, and uses taillights with air guide functions to reduce turbulence. Further improve battery life and dynamic performance.
Coming to the rear of the car, the through-type taillights go straight up and down from both sides. The very thin light strip makes the tail look sharper.The slightly square rear is much wider than the front, and the not-round but powerful "sexually frigid" buttocks are another characteristic of the Polestar model.
The processing of some details also retains some advanced concepts on the concept model, such as camera-type rearview mirrors, which can greatly reduce wind resistance and make the appearance of the vehicle more concise.
Appearance summary: Polestar 6 LA Concept edition is a special limited edition of Polestar 6. It is also a commemorative edition from concept car to production car. Generally speaking, the design style of the appearance is unique, whether it is technological or sporty. are reflected. What do you guys think of this look?
Interior:
Continuing the same design idea as the exterior, the interior style is also extremely simple. The design with almost no physical buttons and the iconic large vertically arranged central control screen fully interpret the "cold" style of Polestar. The allocation of storage space is also relatively reasonable, so that even the location of the mobile phone is not ignored like many supercar models.
The upper and lower sides of the steering wheel adopt a flat-bottomed design, which is not large in size and looks like a spaceship. The silver trim panel wrapped around the airbag also echoes the atmosphere inside the car.
Directly in front of the steering wheel, a small LCD instrument looks just right.
The gear switch is placed behind the steering wheel, which on the one hand saves space in the car and on the other hand maintains the simple design style of the car.
In addition, a new thermoplastic monomer material is widely used in the interior materials of new cars, that is, monomer basic materials are used to manufacture different interior accessories.
Recycled polyester fiber materials are widely used as a single interior material in soft parts in cars, including foam, adhesives, 3D knitted fibers and non-woven laminates, etc., which not only helps simplify recycling This step also reduces weight and waste issues, and is an important step in improving material recycling. Polestar's sustainability team believes that responsible use of raw materials should be complete recycling rather than downgrading. In the Polestar model, the team integrated a new approach to managing the use of recyclable materials in products and improved the recyclability of metal components.
However, in terms of space performance, although it is a four-seater model, it is still different from the large GT models we have in mind. The small rear space and the design without rear headrests make this car destined to be unaffordable. A trip for four people. It is worth mentioning that an automatic aerial photography drone is equipped behind the rear seat of the vehicle. This concept drone is a product of Hoco Flow, a consumer electronics brand developed by Polarstar and Aerofugia.Developed through collaboration, it can take off while the car is moving and capture perfect driving footage. Polestar engineers have developed a proprietary rear wing that can create a negative pressure area at the rear of the vehicle suitable for drone takeoff, allowing it to take off smoothly even while the vehicle is moving. The drone can operate fully automatically and automatically follow and photograph vehicles with a maximum speed of 90 km/h. Drivers can choose "high-altitude surround mode" (ideal for coastline cruising shots) or "sports tracking" mode to record more dynamic shots of driving. After the shooting is completed, the drone can automatically return to the car. When the vehicle is parked, drivers can edit and share video clips directly from the 15-inch central display.
Interior summary: minimalist, technological, practical, and environmentally friendly. When the concept of a concept car becomes a reality, perhaps this is what a new era car should look like.
Power:
The new car adopts a high-performance 800 volt electrical architecture and has higher charging efficiency. The front and rear are matched with dual motor drives, providing a combined maximum output power of 650 kilowatts (884 horsepower) and a peak torque of 900 N·m, 100 kilometers The acceleration is only 3.2 seconds, and the top speed is 250 per hour. km/ hours, such powerful performance is definitely among the best even among experts like Lin today.
In the chassis part, the new car is built based on the scalable all-aluminum platform developed by Polestar's British team. It has the advantages of lightweight, high stiffness, high performance, and environmental protection. At the same time, different grades of aluminum are used, which can also be used for Drivers are given an exciting driving experience. These different grades of aluminum have their own labels, which will make it easier and more accurate to classify them in the future recycling process, retaining the characteristics of the material itself while improving recycling efficiency. High-grade aluminum will continue to maintain its performance after recycling, and other grades will maintain different properties, thereby increasing the efficiency of material use and reducing the need for primary aluminum.
Summary: At present, more configuration information and vehicle parameters have not been announced, but judging from the core parameters and technologies of the models mentioned in this article, the new car is undoubtedly excellent. For the current new energy vehicle market, The arrival of the Polestar 6 LA Concept edition also marks that more market segments will gradually open up. Whether the reservation price of 1.68 million yuan is worth it remains to be determined until the new car actually comes to us.
