Polestar presents electric arctic rallye showcars
The Polestar 2,3 and 4 vehicles are then fitted with accessories in various designs, including skis, roof racks, storage solutions and recovery equipment. Arctic Circle versions of the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 have now also been built to complement the Polestar 2 Arctic Circle, which was launched in 2022.
“The Arctic Circle collection illustrates our unique performance DNA, rooted in motorsport and combined with Scandinavian design,” explained Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO, adding: “We develop our cars under challenging conditions within the Arctic Circle in Sweden, and at the FAT Ice Race we will showcase that on ice there is nothing better than a Polestar. We are really excited to be part of this special event with our full model line-up, where it’s all about car culture and the performance experience.”
Polestar’s Head of Driving Dynamics, Joakim Rydholm further stated: “We created something truly special when we worked on the Polestar 2 Arctic Circle, and to now apply that formula to our two new SUVs has been a fun and challenging task. We have worked closely with our leading technology partners to bring bespoke engineering solutions to these cars that emphasise our performance DNA – and make them incredibly fun to drive.”
Polestar’s rallye-inspired cars are built at one of its R&D facilities in northern Sweden, and feature “raised ride height with custom 3-way adjustable Öhlins dampers, specialised Pirelli studded tyres, OZ Racing wheels (world premiere of the new ‘Rally Legend’), new Quad Evo front spotlights from Stedi, and bucket seats from Recaro, give the cars a rally flavour.” All models use a long-range dual motor setup, although the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 models are utilizing the 2024 model year, while the Polestar 2 is still running on a model year 2021 setup, albeit with a software upgrade.
The three cars made their public debut at the 2025 FAT Ice Race in Zell am See, Austria, on 1 February.
