Polestar

Polestar 6 convertible, is probably the best testament to the growing allure of EVs. Just a week after its unveiling, the batch of 500 units was swiftly claimed, prompting the automaker to consider expanding production beyond what it initially planned.

The Polestar 6, a two-door convertible sports car, clearly enjoys demand far higher than the maker anticipated. Polestar's CEO, Thomas Ingenlath, buoyed by the response, indicated a willingness to exceed the original production cap, stating, "We would not stop at 500 if people want it." This statement suggests a flexible approach to meeting market demand, albeit potentially at the expense of the model's exclusivity.


Scheduled for production and delivery in 2026, the Polestar 6 gives ample time for reservation holders to ponder their investments. Underneath its sleek exterior lies a true powerhouse: dual electric motors delivering a combined 872 horsepower (650 kW/884 PS) and 664 lb-ft of torque. This setup propels the convertible from 0 to 62 mph in a mere 3.2 seconds, with a top speed capped at 155 mph.

Polestar's head of design, Maximilian Missoni, described the car as a "daily driver but with high performance." The company toyed with the idea of a hardtop but ultimately settled on a convertible with a folding metal top.

Two interesting facts about the Polestar 6 are its impressive horsepower, which rivals that of traditional high-performance sports cars, and its convertible design, a rare feature at the moment in the EV market. These characteristics position the Polestar 6 as a unique offering in the EV space, appealing not only to environmentally conscious consumers but also to those seeking the thrill of a sports car experience.
