| "2026" Polestar 6 |
POLESTAR - Polestar (Nasdaq: PSNY), the Swedish electric performance car company, confirms plans to put the Polestar electric roadster concept into production. The production car is expected to launch in 2026 as the Polestar 6 electric performance roadster. Interested customers in all active Polestar markets are able to reserve a build slot online starting August 16, 2022.
“With the
overwhelming consumer and press response, we took the decision to put this
stunning roadster into production and I am so excited to make it a reality,”
says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO. “Polestar 6 is a perfect combination of
powerful electric performance and the thrill of fresh air with the top down.”
Revealed in
Los Angeles in March as the Polestar O₂, the electric roadster concept builds on the design, technology and
sustainability ambitions laid out by the Polestar Precept and showcases the
brand’s vision for future sports cars.
The
hard-top convertible will be built on Polestar’s bespoke bonded aluminum
platform. Developed in-house, it will feature the high-performance, 800-Volt
electric architecture already confirmed for Polestar 5. This includes output of
up to 884 hp (650 kW) and 663 lb-ft (900 Nm) from a dual motor powertrain, a
targeted 0-100 km/h sprint time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.
To
celebrate the launch, 500 numbered units of a special ‘LA Concept’ version, the
‘Polestar 6 LA Concept edition’, are planned to be produced. They will
exclusively feature the unique ‘Sky’ blue exterior, light leather interior and
unique 21-inch wheels of the original Polestar O₂ concept.
The
production confirmation headlines the brand’s attendance with the electric
roadster concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and ‘The Quail, A
Motorsports Gathering’ events during Monterey Car Week in California, August
18-21, 2022.
Further
technical details and specification confirmations will be released as the
production car becomes reality, leading up to the expected launch in 2026.
