00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.320 align:middle
Back in 2020, we revealed
Polestar Precept to the world.

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:07.640 align:middle
Our take on an electric performance GT

3
00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:11.680 align:middle
and a preview of our intentions
for a near future.

4
00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:14.920 align:middle
That kind of transparency resonated

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.920 align:middle
and the response was overwhelming.

6
00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:21.360 align:middle
People didn't just want Precept
in the near future,

7
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.440 align:middle
they wanted it in the present.

8
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:27.280 align:middle
We responded by putting
Precept into production.

9
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.800 align:middle
It would become Polestar 5.

10
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.760 align:middle
To succeed, we needed people
who understood performance

11
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.960 align:middle
and were used to solving
complex engineering challenges,

12
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.200 align:middle
fast and under pressure.

13
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.920 align:middle
A way of working that mirrored
Polestar when it was a racing team.

14
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:46.840 align:middle
Again, we found ourselves
in the world of motorsport.

15
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.320 align:middle
The best engineers
were hand-picked to join our own,

16
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.360 align:middle
with backgrounds
in competitive motor racing

17
00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:53.920 align:middle
and high-end performance car development.

18
00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:56.840 align:middle
And they quickly faced complex challenges.

19
00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:01.800 align:middle
All the technology, power, performance
and sustainable materials needed

20
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.000 align:middle
would have to fit within the design
already defined by Precept.

21
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.680 align:middle
Only one material would do:

22
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:08.960 align:middle
aluminium.

23
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:13.480 align:middle
It will keep the car's dimensions
small, strong and compact.

24
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.000 align:middle
The extremely low roofline would remain

25
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:21.160 align:middle
and still have space for five tall adults
and a fully electric powertrain beneath

26
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.520 align:middle
which would have been impossible
with conventional materials.

27
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:28.560 align:middle
To keep the car's aerodynamic nose
would mean designing the front suspension

28
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.080 align:middle
and steering components
into a very small space.

29
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.000 align:middle
Everything would need
to be designed from scratch.

30
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.240 align:middle
The development phase
was operated like a race team:

31
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.920 align:middle
extreme weather testing, tight deadlines,

32
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.400 align:middle
and innovative use
of materials and components.

33
00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:48.120 align:middle
And so it carried on,
all the way to the finish line.

34
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.440 align:middle
And now... time's up.

35
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.800 align:middle
So we can finally ask,

36
00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:57.400 align:middle
is Polestar 5 one of the world's
best performance GT cars?

37
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:00.680 align:middle
We'll let you decide.

38
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.240 align:middle
We create the performance cars of tomorrow

39
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:10.640 align:middle
and tomorrow just arrived.
