With that existence said, nada has gotten me more excited than the release of the utterly gorgeous Polestar ane past Volvo. The Scandinavian automaker unveiled the Polestar 1 on Tuesday at an outcome in Shanghai, announcing it will continue sale mid-2019 just are limited to 500 units per twelvemonth. After pledging to innovate solely electrical-infused cars from 2019, Polestar one looks ready to be the face of this new motion frontwards for the company. Polestar 1 boasts 600 horsepower with its hybrid engine – while in the rear, Polestar i adds a 218 horsepower dual-electrical motor.

Calculation to the overall flashy wait of the Polestar 1 is the rear windshield which wraps itself over the roof and down beyond the front of the car giving the sporty Polestar one an even sleeker look and feel. Cherry on the cake? The adoption of the increasingly popular "telephone-as-a-key" system which enables the user to enter/lock the car with the use of an app on their smartphone instead of a central.
