You get the same treatment on the inside too, where you’ll find color-matched gold stitching on the seats and presumably other surfaces as well, although we can’t tell exactly from these official images. All of them will feature the same bespoke matte gold exterior paint, with matching calipers, black wheels, and black accents (such as the grille and bumper surround). With a limited number of built slots still available for this final production year, Polestar will only build a maximum of 25 units with regards to this gold-themed Polestar 1. Polestar 1 set the tone for our brand and its genes are evident in Polestar 2 – as they will be in our future cars to come.” “We pushed boundaries with this car, not only in terms of engineering but also in its design and execution. “It’s hard to believe that our beautiful halo car comes to the end of its production life later this year,” said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath. Its combined output is 609 hp (619 PS) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque, to go with a fully electric driving range of 77 miles (124 km) as per the WLTP cycle, which is still the most range you can get in any hybrid model right now. It also boasts twin rear electric motors with torque vectoring, plus various high-performance components such as the Akebono brakes or the adjustable Ohlins dampers. Like any other ‘1’, this special edition variant comes with the same light-weight body construction, made from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer.
