“This is not a dream of a distant future, Polestar Precept previews future vehicles and shows how we will apply innovation to minimise our environmental impact.”
The model created to encapsulate all these visions has been designed with aerodynamic efficiency and technological performance in mind; the 3.1m wheelbase is low and supports a sizeable battery pack. Behind the area where the front grille would normally be located is a collection of safety sensor and driver assistance technologies which are supported and complemented by a LIDAR pod located on the vehicle's glass roof.
Both side mirrors have been replaced by camera apparatuses and the rear-view mirror has been replaced with a digital screen that displays feed from a camera mounted on the car's rear. The digitised cabin features a 15-inch centre touchscreen, a 12.5-inch driver display and a series of smart sensors that do everything from track a driver's alertness to increasing the usability of the infotainment system while on the move.
On the inside, various components like the seat backs, side panels and headrests are made from flax-based composites, recycled cork or reclaimed fishing nets to “balance modern hi-tech luxury with reduced environmental impact.”
