Polestar 1

If there’s one car that I’m really, really excited to drive in the next year or so, it’s the Polestar 1. The first car headed to production from the offspring of Volvo’s performance division inherits some of that company’s exceptional design aesthetics, but it’s an entirely new creation otherwise.

There’s been a whole lot of buzz on the street about Polestar’s plans to release high performance vehicles that benefit from electric power. Well now we have seen the first fruits of their efforts – a luxury sports coupe that cranks out 600 hp, thanks to a hybrid electric drivetrain.
