Polestar O2: It's the most electrified sport in the range

The Polestar brand, owned by Volvo, continues to develop a family of electric vehicles of its own.

“The Polestar O2 is our vision for a new era of sports cars. Combining driving pleasure, an open top and the purity of e-mobility opens up a new mix of driving emotions," said Polestar head of design Maximilian Missoni.

According to reports, the Polestar O2(image above)) is built on the same aluminum platform used in the Polestar 5 concept, which indicates a high level of versatility and adaptability to different needs. While the Polestar 5 will be a powerful 4-door Grand Touring car, the Polestar O2 will be a more compact 2-door sports car.

At this stage, the company has not provided specific specifications for the Polestar O2.

The interior uses modern, sustainable materials, including recycled polyester.

A notable feature of the car is a built-in drone that can take off behind the electric car to record videos with the driver.

When exactly the mass production-ready Polestar O2 version might appear remains to be seen.
