The Polestar 1-hybrid GT has created a lot of car shows and even a bit of fun, thanks to its stunning looks, 619 horsepower and a respected 60-mile battery life. However, it was only meant as a halo vehicle to introduce the brand and pave the way for the Polestar 2 and other EVs. To that end, he now begins the final production period.
Polestar has always planned to make only 1,500 copies of the Polestar 1, and it sticks to that. Most of it has been allocated to Europe and other regions, and accordingly the US market will get only 125 more from the final group.
Polestar started as Volvo’s performance brand, and the Polestar 1 design is actually based on the 2013 Volvo Concept Coupe. With all the power and the smart carbon fiber body, it can hit 60 MPH from a standing start in just 4.2 seconds. At the same time, you can drive to work or grab groceries with the 34 kWh battery without using a drop of gas.
Polestar will henceforth manufacture EVs first, so the Polestar 1 will be a single model in the range. If you’re interested in buying one, you can stand in line at the company’s website, provided you are willing to pay a cool $ 156,500. Due to the rarity, the Polestar 1 probably holds the value as a collector car, and then some.
