Project Description
The project entails the construction of a state-of-the-art production centre for Polestar’s first model, the Polestar 1.
Polestar 1 is a grand touring coupé, with a 600 hp electric performance hybrid powertrain that also offers 150 km of pure electric range – the longest of any hybrid car in the world.
