Polestar 1 Special Edition Goes For Gold

It’s a beautiful color for the coupe.

A limited-run edition of the Polestar 1 is available that features a lot of Chinese gold. Production will begin later in the year, with only 25 being made.

These cars have a matte-gold body with the badges. It also appears on the brake discs. The grille and parts of the lower fascia are covered in gloss black. The fenders are stuffed with big black wheels.

The cabin is finished with gold stitching. The same color is used for the seatbelts.

After selling the model for four years, Polestar announced in February 2021 that it would discontinue the 1. The company will continue to produce the 2 sedan, but more vehicles are in the pipeline, including a production version of the Precept concept.

The Polestar 1 features a turbocharged, supercharged 2.0-liter four cylinder and two electric motors. The configuration produces 619 horsepower and 738 pounds-feet . This setup allows the coupe to travel 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. The car can travel 52 miles on its own electric power.

The Polestar 2 is not a PHEV performance coupe. It is a fully-electric premium sedan that has vehicles such as the Tesla Model 3 in its sights. The launch version features two electric motors that produce 408 horsepower and 487 pounds-feet. The 78-kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery gives 233 miles range. Prices start at $59,900

The company is working on a single-motor, less-expensive Polestar 2. The company is also working on a two-motor version that has less luxury content, for those who want to spend less. These variants are not yet priced.
