    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 :)

    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.

      @@vic06 if the car isn’t going to be connected to the internet, there’s no use gathering any sort of data from the user though (unless I’m missing something here). Voice commands aren’t that bad, they work great if they worked, the bad stigma here is when it doesn’t work but it can only get better, now it might not be as good as it can be but in the future, it can very well be. There is no justification for bad UI, bad UI is just bad UI, yes.

    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.

      100%. And it's so goofy that manufacturers do the same "trick" of adding more black to the bottom of the car to try to make the car look smaller. A really cheap and ineffective design strategy.

    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.

      As for Volvo Engineers working at Polestar, Polestar used to be Volvos skunkworks division and race team which you would likely know as Cyan Racing. Then In 2015 Volvo fully purchased the Road car division of Cyan/Polestar. So Polestar is still owned by Volvo so I imagine there is some overlap between engineers etc.
