17 Feb 2022|251 views
Polestar has confirmed that the forthcoming Polestar 5 electric performance four-door GT will feature a brand-new, bespoke, bonded aluminium platform.
The new bonded aluminium is described by Polestar as lightweight and rigid, offering superlative performance and environmental advantages. The firm additionally states that its U.K.-based engineers have developed a new manufacturing process that will develop both body and platform in unison, cutting down the time necessary to build the platform, which has traditionally been a labour-intensive process.
Polestar is expecting the platform to weigh less than that of cars in smaller segments, contributing to improved vehicle efficiency, real-world range and dynamic responsiveness, all while delivering leading safety levels.
Development of the Polestar 5 continues will continue to be led by its growing U.K.-based research and development unit, which is expected to grow to approximately 500 engineers in the coming months.
