Big news if you want an electrified Polestar 1. It"s been given a price, and that"s big too. It"ll cost 155,000 dollars in the US or 155,000 euros in, um, Europe. Given the former works out at about 110k and the latter around 135k, the lesson here is be American", it would seem. Expect the UK price to be more in line with the euro conversion. Polestar says the pricing "gives customers a clear understanding of where the Polestar 1 sits in the marketplace," but we might have to rock the boat a bit by being a bit perplexed. Yes, it"s a 600bhp hybrid sports car that looks chuffing fantastic, but it"s also a relative of Volvo that"s the same price as a Porsche 911 Turbo, Audi R8 or McLaren 540C. It"s a car for tech-loving early adopters who want something completely different, then. It"s worth remembering just 500 will be built and that you"ll also be able to own" one via a subscription model, too, wrapping all maintenance and insurance into one monthly bill, like it"s a particularly attractive and powerful smartphone. That cost is yet to be announced.
