Volvo’s performance electric car division Polestar has released its first model.
The appropriately named Polestar 1 is available for order now for a deposit of £2,200.
Set to arrive in mid-2019, the Polestar 1 features an electric drivetrain supported by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 592bhp. It’s capable of travelling up to 90 miles on battery power alone.
Polestar will only produce 500 versions of the 1 each year.
Final pricing hasn’t been revealed for the Swedish performance machine, but Polestar has confirmed that the car will only be available on subscription, requiring monthly payments.
As well as the cost of the car, the payments will also cover servicing and give customers the option to rent Volvo vehicles plus other future Polestar models.
