The Polestar 3 will go on sale later this year and will be the first car to benefit from the SPA2 platform. The original SPA platform was launched in 2014 after a three-year development period. While all vehicles based on the SPA platform use 4-cylinder engines (diesel and petrol), the SPA2 platform is reserved for electric vehicles only. The crossover Volvo EX90 it will be closely related to the Polestar 3 and is also expected to go on sale this year.

While the Polestar 3 is set to be the brand’s flagship product, the Turin-based designer was able to look to the future and envision the Polestar 8, a completely design model for now, following the brand’s style language. The Polestar 8 concept renders show a low-level design, but light years away from the famous one. Cybertruck. In this case, Salvatore Ville has chosen to replace the metallic surfaces with black trim, paying attention to details such as reversing cameras, and has also managed to create a generally aggressive character. The taillights are attractively shaped, with right angles that create a light box that’s hard to miss, but fits well with the curves of the overall design.
