Title: Polestar 1 coupe leads Volvo's electric charge, but you'll need to take out a subscription to drive
Post by: eye30 on October 21, 2017, 11:56:11

Volvo has revealed the first of its new stand-alone performance cars, which, it hopes, will trump Tesla in the electric revolution.

But if you want a Polestar, you can only order one online and will have to drive it using a 'hassle-free' subscription rather than owning it outright. The equivalent price of ownership would be around £115,000.

Volvo's owner, Geely of China, aims to turn Polestar into an all-electric, separate brand.

The first car in the range, launched globally in Shanghai, is the Polestar 1 grand tourer electric-hybrid and should be in production by mid-2019.
