TESTED 11.6.19, GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN ON SALE NOVEMBER PRICE ￡139,000: POLESTAR 1

摘要

Swedish brand's first stand-alone model is a technically bewildering 600bhp petrol-electric 2+2 that's unlike anything else on sale. Do you worry that electrification will make all cars the same? Then here's a thing: a 600bhp plug-in hybrid with a 2.0-litre supercharged turbocharged petrol engine with starter/generator, two other electric motors, a part-steel part-carbonfibre monocoque, a carbonfibre bonnet the size of a modest mainsail, and a single transverse rear leaf spring. To top it all, it's a ￡139,000 luxury coupe.
