2022 Polestar O₂ concept

A stylish mix of design & future-forward tech—all on an EV skateboard chassis. Polestar reminds automakers that the best marketing is: make cool cars.

Finally. As a longtime fan of electric vehicles, a well-executed concept from a real brand like Polestar that builds on an EV’s inherent strengths—and isn’t painted some sort of frog green—well, it’s nice to see.

In addition, the Polestar O₂ concept uses a modified chassis from its upcoming Polestar 5 sedan, demonstrating this isn’t a completely pie-in-the-sky design.

It’s the drone-in-the-sky design, actually, that has people—including tech experts like Marques Brownlee—talking:

You know what this is? This is the TV show Viper coming to life, minus the rockets and mom jeans. (I had to ask for permission to stay up past my bedtime to watch the series premiere…I was 10.)
