Polestar has revealed a special version of the Polestar 1 electric performance hybrid that will reach end of production later this year.

A technical tour de force, the electric performance hybrid has a lightweight body made from carbon fibre reinforced polymer, twin rear electric motors with genuine torque vectoring and high-performance components like Akebono brakes and adjustable Ohlins dampers.

With a combined power output of 601bhp and 1,000Nm of torque, and a purely electric driving range of 124km - still the longest of any hybrid car in the world - the Polestar 1 is a performance car that can be driven as a full EV in daily use, doubling as a great long-distance GT at any moment.

A limited number of build slots remain for final 2021 production. The new special edition features a bespoke matte gold exterior paint job with matching callipers and black wheels. Inside, colour-matched gold stitching gives the interior an even more unique feel. A maximum of 25 will be built.
