You'd think the wheel style wouldn't work, but they totally do. How interesting.

Volvo's always been great at making surprisingly classy wheels. I agree with Henry's sentiment to size them down a couple of inches (at least) but they're snazzy.

I would buy it in a heartbeat. Best designed and best looking sports car (electric or ice) I've seen in a looooong time.

Absolutely. However impressive Teslas would be, I couldn't countenance the idea of putting money in the guy's pocket!

This Polestar concept looks amazing :D. It's great to see the company go it's own way and make more models which use a different design language compared with the Volvo-inspired design of the 1 grand tourer :)

Way, way,waaaaaaaayyyy cooler with the roof closed ! Absolutely Zagato inspired! Love it !!

Thanks for the walkaround video. BTW - it's was your video that inspired me to order a Polestar 2 in September 2020 and I've loved it ever since !

Saw a couple of those rolling around my neighbourhood, how is the mileage? whereabouts do you live (roughly, no need to be specific because... internet...)? Have you had your first service yet? If so, how was it?

The crisp, sharp lines have a very modern architectural feel, and the side and three-quarter profiles are very Zagato. An interesting blend of Audi/Volvo/Nissan styling cues. I like it, and could definitely something like it coming to the market... Although perhaps sans drone.

I absolutely love how it looks - its cliche but I do feel this design ethos is a “car reimagined” or a “car evolved” in a way other cars dont capture!

Another great design from Polestar 🔥

I saw this at the FOS and it was drawing universal prise. One of the best new designs on display at the FOS and confirmation that Polestar are currently producing some of the best looking cars in the market.

I've never wanted a car this bad before!!! This is a beauty!

Yes!!! The sooner they make this the sooner I can have one!! Fab design

Stunning design. As Cathcpole says it‘s EV 2.0. Definitely the first „dream car“ among EVs. Go ahead, Polestar!!!

When I'm sat in traffic, I quite often imagine sending a drone up to see what the issue ahead is! So, although a bit gimmicky, there could be practical applications

Simply Gorgeous. Now i know what my next car will be.

Finally a nice front end on an electric as well👏

I think it looks great, I just wish vehicles these days didn’t have such tall waistlines. I’m sure safety has a lot to do with it, but even as a concept it seems like it has a slightly off aspect ratio. It looks quite large because of it in my humble opinion.

One of the best looking cars for years :-) Looks great with roof up or down

Looks amazing

Love it! Hope they can produce this.

It looks phenomenal.

GORGEOUS

it looks so good

That design is incredible 👍

Nice and smooth.

gorgeous car

Don't care about the drone, but I think the car looks brilliant.

love the colour

I can't wait to see the cinematic drone footage from Hull or Runcorn!

Love love love it

Dayyyammm... I really like that!

Looks amazing! I retire in three years I’ll buy it!

God bless Geely for helping Volvo achieve what they’ve become today… at the head of the pack towards electrification, beautiful designs, all while maintaining traditional Volvo values and design principles. On a side note, I’ve often thought about flying a drone out my sunroof; not to film myself but to see what’s causing a backup, fly ahead to see which route is clear, or even just to scope out the scene before arriving at my destination… I think having one integrated with the car is a great idea!

THIS CAR IS STUNNING..............POLLESTAR TAKES ANOTHER LEVEL MAN.....I WONDER IF TESLA CAN RESISTE THE ULTIMATE ELECTRIC CONCEPTS AS //LUCID AIR// . GREAT REVIEW BRO.

Love it👍

Like it. Reminds me something of 2006 Saab Aero X Concept when closed.

Feelin it

It’s perfect

Drones being launched from cars? Never thought Volvo would be responsible for creating Skynet.

Just wow... !

Those seatbelt latches tho... Incredible.

What an amazing design!

Sort of reminds me of a VW XL1, especially from behind. Can't say I'm a massive fan, but there are certainly design features I like. Looks amazing with the roof closed though.

I was thinking about an electric conversion for an MX-5 ... but I'll wait for this to come out.

Best looking concept ev imo

My next one!

How would the drone avoid obstacles, especially oncoming vehicles?

It looks fantastic if I had the money and they put them into production I’d love one

It’s a pretty car - I hope they produce it.

Sweet

They have decided to built it, but the wait will be long...great car and video! Lets hope the concept will work in production...

God that is one good looking car

looks incredible. best design since BMW i8

I know what I'm saving up for lol. Didn't need that Elantra N.

ouuuhhhh it looks good

Sensational.....Polestar just keep on delivering.

This is probably the only ev i actually like. because i am a big fan of roof down driving experience.

Lovely, just plain damn lovely….

Hold onto your Boxsters!

Want one

This is one of the rare convertibles that looks good with the top up or down. Very sleek and futuristic.

Straight eye candy

When is the Emira review coming?

I want one.

The design is absolute ace 👌🏻

In a way that character from the first Robocop film said... "IIIIIIIIIIIILIKE IT!!!" 👌 😎🇬🇧

This car is so tall!

Looks like the type of car I would draw in elementary school -- blocky shape with large simple wheels that fill the wheel well.

Forgetting the gimmicky drone thing this car is a stunning peice of kit. Roof up or down looks fab which is a hard trick to pull off. Polestar is quietly becoming a really cool brand.

Wow - object of desire. They can keep the drone.

Build it and they shall buy it! 👍🏾

Hopefully Polestar will put this into production. This car is gorgeous! The rear end looks incredible with those sharp lines. That reference to the new Z car is spot on. With the roof up, it truly does have almost the exact profile from the side as a 370Z or the new Z. I have a 370Z and it looks very similar from the side view. Finally, electric cars that are more affordable than the super and hyper cars and starting to look fantastic and may be attainable by us normal folks (well, with a lot of overtime maybe!). Nice job Polestar.

Change the alloys and offer the user a button to rotate the central display to horizontal orientation-most cars should have this option. Some Chinese cars offer this feature and it's a very good idea.

Great looking car, you can still see the “Volvo” within though.
