This early year, Polestar reveals something about a fancy flight by removing the shells from an all-electric roadster with a convertible hardtop that looks a bit sportier.
This concept, known as O2 when it launched in March, it makes perfect sense, given that it comes from Volvo’s sister brand that has quickly built a reputation for delivering quality EVs. Its built-in “cinematic drones“Deploying from the back to automatically record your ranged warrior skills, however, doesn’t make much more sense.
At the time, I said that if Polestar ever built this drone, I would eat my driving gloves. Well, there’s good and bad news. The good news is that the company has announced that they will put the letter O2 put into production under the name Polestar 6. The bad news is that, in doubt, the drone will remain firmly on the drawing board. It also means that, fortunately, my driving gloves are still wearable another day.
The Polestar 6 is expected to be delivered in 2026. When it arrives, it will be the company’s fourth new car in five years. Next year will see the arrival of the all-electric Polestar 4 and GT Polestar 5 SUV coupes due in 2024.

It will feature the confirmed high-performance 800-volt electric architecture for the Polestar 5, putting it on par with existing Hyundai and Kia fast charging. EV Platform.
As an off-road driver, you’d really expect the 6 to be quick and Polestar is claiming up to 650 kW (884 hp) and 900 newtons of torque from the powertrain. dual engine, as well as a 0 to 62 mph sprint targeted for a time of 3.2 seconds, followed by a top speed of 155 mph. This is short on Tesla’s consistently delayed Roadster, with its claimed specs of 0 to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds and a top speed of 255 mph, but then you’ll Get the Polestar-Volvo build quality and the car’s sporty chance of actually appearing on the delivery date forecast.
