Polestar Precept, the concept car that Polestar revealed in 2020, is under full-scale development and on its journey to reality in the coming years. Created to showcase Polestar’s ambitions in terms of design, sustainability and technology
German steelworkers art group 'Giants of Steel have made their way into this year's Essen Motor Show with their latest one of a kind creation, a Porsche GT3 RS made out of scrap metal. The art installation has no engine in it and is instead intended as a tribute to the iconic German car. Around 20,000 scrap metal parts were used in its production. It reportedly weighs 1,300 kilogrammes and was built by a three-person team.
"Momentum in the development of the Polestar 1 has increased with the production of the first series of road-going verification prototype (VP) cars in Sweden. Produced for a number of purposes including crash tests, weather testing and on-road assessment, the VP cars form the very first fleet of Polestar 1 cars on the road. Construction of the cars, which takes place in a specialised prototype production facility in Gothenburg, is largely done by hand. It acts as the first testing phase for production of Polestar 1 customer cars which will be built at the new Polestar Production Centre in Chengdu, China. The carbon fibre-body of the Polestar 1 required the development of new specialised production equipment and construction techniques that will be transferred to the factory and used to build the production cars. Production of the Polestar 1 marks the first time that a brand in the Volvo Car Group has explored carbon fibre construction. The VP cars have allowed engineers to design, test and execute complicated construction processes with positive results."

The Polestar 1, while not a pure electric vehicle, is an electric performance hybrid GT capable of producing 600 horsepower. Capable of running 150 kilometres in electric mode, and has the longest electric-only driving range of any hybrid car in the world.
