Polestar Concept BST: How Polestar Wants To Take On Porsche

This close-to-production study breathes life into the Polestar O2 concept and gives it a racing makeover hinting at a more aggressive series variant.

In an attempt to break away from its Volvo origins, Polestar's CEO has been adamant that the brand is a performance-focused one, aiming at stealing customers from Porsche. Besides being an audacious plan to take on the biggest guy in the yard, it can be tough to believe considering Polestar mostly launched with quick but practical electric hatchbacks and crossovers. But Polestar does have confirmed plans to build a bespoke electric sports car.

This car is built around a new bespoke electric sports car platform called PPA , which will make it “the pinnacle of the current Polestar lineup.” It will also be used to underpin the Polestar 5 sedan, which will go head-to-head with the recently revamped Porsche Taycan when it debuts in 2025. What makes the PPA platform special is the fact that it is made out of bonded aluminum elements, like the original Lotus Elise.
