Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor

The Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor reaches 60 mph in 6.64 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.16 s, tripping the lights at 93.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s and the eighth mile in 9.88 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 2 Long Range Single Motor

The 2021 Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor is a front-drive electric car of 2,018 kg with 228 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 93.7 mph. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,250th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 4 Polestars here. Its 93.7 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 1 of 1 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 2 Long Range Single Motor is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 1 of its 1 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
