The curvaceous carbon fiber skin hides Volvo’s modular SPA platform, which also underpins the V90 Cross Country and the XC60. Using off-the-shelf components helps keep development costs in check; developing a coupe from scratch is immensely expensive, and it’s difficult to justify because the segment isn’t exactly booming right now. We speculate the gasoline engine also comes from the Volvo parts bin. It’s the same formula rivals like Mercedes-AMG and Audi Sport have used successfully for decades.
This time around, the coupe isn’t merely a concept car or a wild design study built to turn heads on the auto show circuit. The Polestar 1 is scheduled to enter production in 2019 in a brand-new facility currently under construction in Chengdu, China. Interested buyers can sign up to receive more information starting on October 17, and pricing information will be released in the coming months. The Polestar 1 will be sold online and — much like a phone — offered on a two- or three-year subscription basis. Order books open in early 2018.
