Polestar, the Swedish car company responsible for Electric Vehicles 1 and 2, has announced its vision for their next model, the O2 Sports Roadster. It is a concept at this stage, but as with most concepts, they make it to full production. Luxurious takes a Drone's eye view at Polestar's future vehicle.
Polestar O2 will be quite a significant departure from the family-based salons the company currently manufactures. It will be a hard-top convertible Sports Roadster designed to give the driver and passengers a dynamic experience and all from an electric motor. Other Companies such as Tesla and Fisker have talked about sporty, rapid Roadsters, but Polestar has put some serious design into the O2, which I believe will make it onto the road.
Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.“Polestar O2 is the hero car for our brand." He continues, "It opens the door to our secret chamber of future potential. This is a taste of what we can design and engineer with our in-house talent and technology. It looks incredible, and being able to lower the roof and not hear an engine promises a superb sensation."
Maximilian Missoni, Polestar's Head of Design, describes the design, "Polestar O2 is our vision of a new era for sports cars. Mixing the joy of open-top driving with the purity of electric mobility unlocks a new mix of emotions in a car. But as with all our cars, we are about more than just straight-line sprints. It's when you turn the steering wheel that the true fun begins."
Polestar's R&D team in the UK has developed the O2 giving it a low and wide body with an assertive presence. It has a compact 2+2 cabin design, minimal overhangs, and a long wheelbase that echo the classic sports car proportions but uses ultra-modern technology with the benefits of electric power.
