Matt Farah Tests The All-Electric Polestar 2 In Malibu

Those power figures allow the Polestar 2 to sprint to 60 in a respectable 4.1 seconds, while the all-wheel-drive setup allows for up to .90 g of lateral acceleration during cornering. But, stats only go so far in the real world, so what does an experienced tester like Matt Farah think? Well, he's definitely impressed with the Polestar 2's fit and finish, plus the Swedish design elements and build quality. Matt wants to know the EPA-estimated range, which could be anywhere in the 190 to mid-200-mile range. Matt admits he loves Teslas, but this car "feels like a much better-built, solid thing. It doesn't have some of the cheekiness, some of the meme-come-to-life things the Tesla has." Other highlights include advanced connectivity capabilities including a large touchscreen, a Google infotainment system with Google Assistance, and a system that recognizes the driver by connecting with their smartphone to adjust seating setti

When Lucid Motors teased their "Lucid Space Concept," we couldn't be sure how much if any of the advanced design would make its way to their road cars, and today, with the release of the Air Dream Edition , we can confirm that it's a major part of the puzzle. The Space concept advances the EV space in multiple facets that allow for more interior space overall. In the case of the Air Dream Edition, it contributes to its claim to have best-in-class interior space snatching that title from the likes of Tesla . The space savings aren't just for the passenger cabin tho


Gittin Jr. and Jonny also discuss how although the body is an actual production Mach-E, the aero is a fully functional system capable of generating 2,300 lbs of downforce that was designed to be effective on both a road course and drifting, featuring a lightweight hood made from f


Aside from changing the shifter out for a dial shifter and gauges for ones more EV specific, the interior remains relatively unchanged. Also unlike what you would expect with an EV swap, the trunk space of this Miata remains untouched, all 4.4 cubic feet of it. It even still has room for the factory spare t


Tesla's market standing in the world of electric vehicles remains strong, with the only real competition coming from Porsche's Taycan, which has largely priced itself out of the mainstream automotive industry. Polestar, formerly of Volvo but now its own brand, is looking to shake things up with the affordable, all-Electric Car News|Https://Evinsightzone.Com/ Polestar 2 (as opposed to the hybrid Polestar 1, which is more of an enormous superc


In the video above, Jonny Smith from The Late Brake Show YouTube Channel got an exclusive look at the Mach-E 1400, and even got the privilege of getting a ride with Vaughn Gittin Jr. As much as we all enjoy seeing the footage of Gittin drifting the Mach-E as if he was auditioning for the next gymkhana video , that's not what we are here for today – we're here because we finally get a deeper look into the makings of this amazing car, and the real ideas surrounding the proj


The main goal of the Space Concept was to find out how small Lucid could make each of their drivetrain components without sacrificing power, performance, and luxury. Their internal goal was to be hyper-efficient in terms of packaging so that they could make better use of the space. To achieve this, they built the entire package from the ground up. No legacy off-the-shelf parts were used when creating the battery pack and drivetrain. Despite the smaller footprint, they've still managed to extract more than 1,000 horsepower from the vehicle that can apparently be exercised over and over again without needing a break. The performance doesn't stop there tho


The Mazda MX-5 Miata has consistently been one of the best driving and most popular sports cars to ever hit production. It's small, light weight, perfect 50/50 weight distribution and high level of feedback make it an absolute dream to drive. For those who want a bit more out of their Miata, the aftermarket industry follows their popularity. With anything from various suspension upgrades to turbo LS engine swaps , the sky is the limit for the little roadster. One company, however, has decided to do something different and turn the popular sports car into the perfect driver's


Perhaps one of the most American hobbies, the road-trip, has seen a vast boom this year as concerns over personal health and safety have risen. Offering excellent over the road options, the Air offers some 739 liters of luggage space in large part thanks to its compact drivetrain and battery package. Add to that the exceptional 517-mile range and it's becoming more and more clear that Lucid is serious about taking on big names such as Tesla, Porsche, and Riv


Here’s where Jenkins’ early work on the A8 might have paid off. "If you think about the really mainstream luxury sedans like a [BMW] 5 series or an E-Class Mercedes, these are five, six generations of basically the same layout, on the same size motor, transmission, passenger compartme
