Polestar 1

The Polestar 1 reaches 60 mph in 3.88 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.30 s, tripping the lights at 113.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.90 s and the eighth mile in 7.92 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.47 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 1

The 2020 Polestar 1 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 2,351 kg with 620 bhp, which works out at 264 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.90 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 719th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 2nd quickest of the 4 Polestars here. Its 113.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Polestar 1 0-60 time?
The Polestar 1 reaches 60 mph in 3.88 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 719th quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.
What is the Polestar 1 quarter mile time?
12.30 s at 113.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.92 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.90 s.
How much power does the Polestar 1 have?
620 bhp and 2,351 kg, which is 264 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Polestar 1?
Closest here on pace: Lister Le Mans V12 (3.87 s), Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (3.92 s), BMW M3 G80 (3.96 s). Each one can be raced against the Polestar 1 in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Polestar 1 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
