What"s Swedish for cahones? Whatever it is, Polestar"s got em. The new hybrid-only start-up offshoot from Volvo chose to launch itself into the fray this week not with an outlandish SUV concept car, or a me-too crossover design study, but an extremely elegant two-door coupe.A coupe design which had, back in the mists of time, been slated for Volvo production, before Polestar was bequeathed the shape to create its new 592bhp hybrid-drive debut. Could Polestar be even braver and offer a soft-top convertible version of the 1"? Naming might be a problem, as Polestars 2 and 3 are already set to be a small saloon and SUV respectively. Perhaps a drop-top could be the 1.5. Or the Minus 1 (Roof). We digress.
