The Guy in white is taking to much space in the passenger seat in my opinion and waving his arms around to much. Next to the permanent laughing to cover his fear.
There was a formula 1 team (ferrari or Williams maybe? A old school team) that used to send anyone with 4 limbs who physically fitted in the thing out in it for a few laps, just to sharpen the engineers and mechanics minds on just *what* they were working on...... That was back in the fun days when rich teams had plenty free engines and old chassis to throw around, not like that nowadays, but maybe it should be!
I met Joakim in Zandvoort a couple months ago, he is a former rally driver and sure scared the hell out of many people that day putting his baby through its paces! I am an engineer myself, and have very rarely met people so passionate about the project they're working on. Amazing to have him on the channel!
It's fun that it's usually the good drivers that can be more scared when in the passenger seat, it's like Takumi in Initial D when he's scared shitless when in the passenger seat and his friends make fun of it, and they don't yet realize how good he is actually
It seems like Joachim is a very likeable person. The oh no was hilarious hahaha. One of the things I lowkey enjoy about this footage as well is that the digital speedometer is smooth. In a lot of cars it's laggy (32 - 46 - 57 - 63 - 78 - 103 instead of 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 ... 98 99 100 101 102 etc) and it refreshes once or twice a second. This display is sooo much better
This video makes me so happy. To see a creator and his creation being driven to the limit is truly satisfying. It helps that both of you come across as super kind and interested in the car!
This is great. Joakim seems a really good guy and watching you two just chat was a great way to present the car. What a car too. People want cars which are good for the environment but most are boring. This looks like a genuine fun car and you can really see the effect of the torque vectoring on the long right after the jump. Understeer neutralised brilliantly there. Impressed.
8:03 literally me thinking at Adenauer Forst "is that Misha?" "Probably no because he don't have his polestar anymore" "but this guy looks like him, and who is the other guy right there?!" Now; Realization... 😳
What a lovely coöperation !! The engineer appreciating and loving it to see his creation work in reality. The driver pleased improvements are made and that what he feels and experiences is perfectly explainable Loved this session !
That car drives like a dream !!! I’ve seen many cars driven on the Nurburgring fast, even though you weren’t pushing it, this one seems like it can easily take the high speeds. Loving it !!!
Dude thats crazy. I saw my first Polestar 2 years ago in a gasoline station. I came out and THIS GUY came in. I asked him "if this is a real polestar" and he agreed and laughed. Funny that hes the Engeneer. Incredible car. It was in Brandenburg, Germany.
What a great video! So great to see you both having such a great time while making haste through traffic. Thank you so much for putting this together. I’m really enjoying your channel. Hale in Tucson, Arizona, USA.
I thought we were going to see the famous seat belt tightening again 😂 but the changes are very nice and the car seemed just as compliant through the challenges the nurburgring gave it 👍
It would be so much fun to test drive the Polestar 1. I currently have 2019 Volvo S90 T8 and I love that car. Polestar 1 would be nice upgrade, but sadly bit too expensive for me.
Joakim actually i know from work :)....He is a quiet good Rallye Driver as well but down to earth....i liked having Gasoline talk with him always when we met👻
Engineer: "the car thinks you're crazy" Driver: "Dude this car has 600HP, she's crying from being chained up" (Facial Expression)Engineer: "oh shit that's right its a sports car" lol
Polestar Engineers are incredible! They work and excel in whatever box Volvo puts them in. Regardless of engine displacement or chassis size or shape. I can't imagine what they could do without a leash. If they hadn't been restricted by RPM limit, the Australian supercars S60 would have been untouchable.
The car looks like is pushing nothing meaning the engine doesn’t sound heavy or to the limit is just cruising at high speed. Great car to feel secure at insane speed 👍
6:25 the sync'd "OH NO" is on my new all-time fav moments!
I wish i can see another lap with less yellow and let’s get nuts, slick tyres ;-) (next trackday Idea)
About the Polestar feature that got removed, wasn't there a lap with someone from Bugatti at some point? Or did that have to be taken down?
Yea, that was awesome! 😆
Yeah, it sounds like you two spent too much time together :-)
The best "OH NO" meme!
Oh man this should be a series. Whenever a new sports car comes out you take one of the engineers out in their own creation!
Genius

Honestly I think engineers of performance cars really should experience this.
gr8 idea.

@@henrik1743 Same with Jos riding with Max in the Renault RS01.
@@bass2762 great example that one as well
Yeah he doesn't seem scared at all. If anything he seems unfazed.
what a nice guy, he seems happy that the car is getting used this way 👍🏻👍🏻
So cool to see Misha drive his dad around the ring.
🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another awesome lap with a Polestar. Seeing how capable these cars are on the Nurburgring is thrilling. Keep them coming.
Very impressive! Both the lap and someone in the industry that cares about your inputs. Bravo Polestar!!
How’d you get those emojis in????

His face as you entered the karussell 🤣 think we need to check the passenger footwell where his foot had tried to brake 🤣
What a lovely coöperation !! The engineer appreciating and loving it to see his creation work in reality. The driver pleased improvements are made and that what he feels and experiences is perfectly explainable Loved this session !
Made me smile throughout the lap at both the pace you drove and banter within. Great fun indeed!
first edit: Great that the seatbelts are better now. Also I love the faces he made on Wippermann and Pflanzgarten.
Superb lap - what a difference a bit of fine tuning makes. Hats off to Polestar for getting involved! Loved it!
Love the remaining fuel range, start of the lap, 330km, end of the lap, 210km!
My sister`s neighbour is joakims parents and i have talked to joakim a few times. Very kind dude that is a really good rally driver
Joakim seems like a very cool guy! Definitely enjoyed this video. I like how he knew the track quite well.
That car drives like a dream !!! I’ve seen many cars driven on the Nurburgring fast, even though you weren’t pushing it, this one seems like it can easily take the high speeds. Loving it !!!
Super cool experience being able to take him for a lap! 🚀🏁
Really impressed with the Polestar, liked watching you play with it, Rj in Oz
Awesome thanks again, and to see polestar put driving effort in to electrified vehicles.
Great lap! So it is Joakim I should thank for the P2 Performance pack setup.. Such a joy to drive on every type of road.
Wonderful video! Nice car, fun to see you guys having a great time. The reactions is gold. Especially the synced "OH NO" with amazing laugh. @6:22
I would have never considered one of these until your videos Misha. Cool cars!

I miss this man a lot. Hope you can shoot another session with him.
Awesome video! I really enjoyed it. I agree you should do this more often with other car and their engineers.
Seems like it's torque vectoring the right way, so it's still a really fun car to drive.
I thought we were going to see the famous seat belt tightening again 😂 but the changes are very nice and the car seemed just as compliant through the challenges the nurburgring gave it 👍
"Misha Mode" needs to be a thing in the Polestar
It would be so much fun to test drive the Polestar 1. I currently have 2019 Volvo S90 T8 and I love that car. Polestar 1 would be nice upgrade, but sadly bit too expensive for me.
I can't wait to get to this track.
Joakim actually i know from work :)....He is a quiet good Rallye Driver as well but down to earth....i liked having Gasoline talk with him always when we met👻
Awesome video Misha! What a nice co-pilot :)
Really interesting!!
We could have more this type of interaction between buyers and engineers/developers
cant wait for the lift tech walk around with Joakim!!!
Yeeeeeeeeeessssssss. Polestar 1 Lap is back with a special guest!
Proper great vid as always Misha.
That speed limit notice on the dash gauges is really cool
I love "Die Nordschleife" such a scenic track. Also good for camping.
Impressed with the beautiful car AND driver
Great handy work
Very cool video and loved listening to your conversation with the car designer well testing there creations on the berg.
Fina grajjor!
Polestar 1 "Misha" Edition! That's how famous you are Misha, if the car is specially tuned to your wishes and input.
Please install a fastcharger at apex . Could be good for the business too .
they used to place engineers under their bridges when performing load test.... In this case they handed an engineer to a Boosted Boris! xD
Great lap! Thank you for sharing!
The pure enjoyment on his face is priceless
Dont know what it is but im very impressed, with it and Driver and relaxed passenger
It's a Chinese car, made by a Chinese company that's owned by the CCP, called Geely.
Keep this up Misha, and more manufactures might have you test and review their cars on the track as well. LOL
Thank you for cool video and interesting passenger :)
Good video
This is the first good digital Tachometer!
Engineer: "the car thinks you're crazy"
Driver: "Dude this car has 600HP, she's crying from being chained up"
(Facial Expression)Engineer: "oh shit that's right its a sports car"
lol
That car sounds great!
So have Volvo/Polestar got a Ferrari-esque ’Manatino’ mode selector? 1) Wet, 2) Bumpy road, 3) Sport, 4) Sport Plus, 5) Mischa.
The Polestar 1 is an electric car, that noise is fake and is coming from the speakers.
@@altspitfire if that's what you want to belive
@@ValentineC137 It's an electric car, how else is it going to make engine sounds...
@@altspitfire maybe it makes those sounds because it has a twincharged 4 cylinder engine in the front :P
@@ValentineC137 My apologies, let me rephrase that. How else is it going to make V8 noises?
Cool video 👍🏻
Impressive, scaring
I think its worth it. I mean you basically get everything in one car. Really impressed by the performance ot to mention its 2.3 tons omg
ok this is gonna be a fun one
That synchronized “Oh no!”
The analogy with the girlfriend... Almost pissed myself laughing when you're explaining it :DDD
Goodmorning comrade coming from your mouth sounds so inviting and I stayed for the whole video thank u
You deserve a big fat like for putting the thumb at the beginning of the video.
I wish all engineers were like this lol
Ohhh maaan i LOVE your vids!!
Pretty useless. If you know, you know :)
You know who's impressing? You Misha. :)
I love watching you drive because You normally never get passed. I wish the usa had a ring. It looks beautiful
just ripping and having a casual conversation
Rimac ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG
Richard Hammond approves the message!
this is like a story of a twisted hero trying to prove a point to a villain about his creation.

Subscribed cause you say comrade, comrade.
Hi Misha, Love your videos. Can you find out why the Polestar 2 wheels are staggered but not the tyres?
Fun stuff. If he has time between projects, maybe he could engineer a radical setup for the Silverado. 😉 ✌️
I'm only 28 seconds into the video, and I just thought.. why the FriCk are these guys not wearing helmets?! And then I remembered it was a volvo xD
I wish I could legally drive on the highway as you're taking corners in that car.
Solid video
GJ thx for upload
This setup will be available as an option ?
The "Misha Pack" with included PS4 😂
When will the Polestar 1 Misha Edition be available on the market?
That thing hauls ass for being so heavy. Holy crap
12:00 not bad miata !
buena vuelta al circuito
Good morning camarades ✌🏻
4:20 - that's a Bulgarian reg plate
Unusual to hear a passenger tell him to push the car harder
GGPI/Polestar Baby !!!!
The car looks like is pushing nothing meaning the engine doesn’t sound heavy or to the limit is just cruising at high speed. Great car to feel secure at insane speed 👍
So awesome
i must say i am not a fan of these big heavy cars. but interesting video with a cool co-driver.
Just magic
Hmm the Pirelli tyres were horrendous? Ruined it for me. The chassis dynamics could not be fully exploited. Misha you were a gentleman considering.
Eventually the trees of the green hell are going to think they have gone deaf.
Underrated comment 😂
Holy shit i got anxiety from just watching him drive! The talent is real
The Swedish Godzilla!!
