It was the first car produced by the company since becoming an independent car manufacturer in June .[4] Based on Volvo's Concept Coupé from , the Polestar 1 is built on the Volvo Scalable Product Architecture platform and is powered by a hybrid powertrain, using a front-mounted engine and two electric motors at the rear. A limited production run of 1,500 cars took place over three years, from to , for the left-hand drive market only.[5] Production took place in Chengdu, China, where the company's first production facility was built.[6]

Volvo Concept CoupéThe Polestar 1 started as Volvo's Concept Coupé from , styled by German car designer Thomas Ingenlath, who previously worked in lead design positions at Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda.[7] After the unveiling of the Concept Coupé, Ingenlath said that the model took inspiration from the Volvo P, stating that "it is a car designer&#;s duty to reflect and incorporate design signatures that are vital parts of the company&#;s heritage".[8]
The Polestar 1 was unveiled on October 17, , at the Shanghai Auto Show, making its world premiere and first public appearance. It came after several teasers were released from the company, including a video revealing the car's reveal date[9] while several detail photographs were posted by the company's Instagram account from October 2 to 16, .[10]
In June , Polestar announced that the Polestar 1 was entering its final stages of development as a prototype, before production would officially commence in the later-unveiled production site in Chengdu, China.[11]
Only 25 matte-gold Polestar 1 were made to commemorate the final run of production.In April , the final version of the Polestar 1 was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show. This matte-gold Polestar 1 was designed to commemorate the final run of production and featured no difference to the original car other than the paint. Only 25 were made, with a USD$5,000 price increase over the base MSRP.[12]
The production of the Polestar 1 officially ended later in and the Polestar 5 and 4 are intended to replace it, later in or .

The Polestar 1 is powered by a hybrid powertrain, using a twincharged 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine from the Volvo XC90 T8 to drive the front wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission, with an additional two electric motors powering the rear wheels.[15] Combined, the total output is 619 hp (462 kW; 628 PS) and 738 lb&#;ft (1,001 N&#;m);[15] at its announcement, the maximum power output was rated slightly less, at 600 hp (450 kW; 610 PS).[16][17]
The petrol engine is connected to an Integrated Starter Generator, acting as a starter motor and torque fill during gear changes.[18] It adds 68 hp (51 kW; 69 PS), for a total output of 326 hp (243 kW; 331 PS) and 321 lb&#;ft (435 N&#;m) to the front axle.[15]
Each electric motor produces 116 hp (87 kW; 118 PS), for a total of 232 hp (173 kW; 235 PS) and 354 lb&#;ft (480 N&#;m) to the rear axle.[15]

The Polestar 1 has a total capacity of 34 kWh[15] arranged in three battery stacks (two packs), fitted behind the rear seats and along the central tunnel.[20] This gives the Polestar 1 an all-electric range of 150 km (93 mi) on the NEDC. Polestar claimed that this was the largest electric range for any plug-in hybrid available at the time.[21]
Under the U.S. EPA driving cycle, the Polestar 1 has an all-electric range of 52 mi (84 km) and an equivalent fuel consumption of 58 mpg&#;e (58 kW&#;h/100 mi). On gasoline alone, the Polestar 1 is rated at 26 mpg&#;US (9.0 L/100 km; 31 mpg&#;imp) for combined city/highway driving, giving an estimated range of 417 mi (671 km).[22]

The Polestar 1 has a plug-in hybrid powertrain, the supercharged and turbocharged high-performance petrol in-line four-cylinder petrol engine drives the front wheels. Two electric motors drive the rear wheels. In addition to these electric motors the Polestar 1 is equipped with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG). Combined with the electric motors are planetary gear sets. These planetary gear sets enable torque vectoring, a technology used in racing to bring both acceleration and stability through curves.

The Polestar 1 is based on the Volvo Scalable Product Architecture platform (SPA). Compared to the S90, which shares the SPA platform with the Polestar 1, the wheelbase was shortened by 7.9 in (200 mm) and approximately 7 in (180 mm) were removed from the rear overhang.[20]
It has double wishbone front suspension, connecting each wheel with two transverse links. This design enables the front suspension to counteract torque steer. Most suspension parts are made of aluminium. The rear suspension is an integral link design, with a transverse composite leaf spring. Polestar 1 is the first car with Öhlins Continuously Controlled Electronic Suspension (CESi). The CESi can be set to adapt instantly to road conditions and in accordance with the driver&#;s chosen setting.
The front brakes, are specified by Polestar and manufactured by Akebono, six piston aluminium Mono block calipers on each front wheel are milled from one-piece. The calipers are coupled with 400x38mm ventilated and drilled discs.

A Polestar 1 at the Geneva Motor ShowPractically all exterior panels of the Polestar 1 upper body, including doors, bonnet and boot-lid, are made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) for maximum stiffness, torsional rigidity and lightness. Polestar claim that using steel panels would have increased the car's weight by 500 lb (230 kg).[20]
The Polestar 1 has a standard-fitted active rear spoiler delivering high-speed downforce on the rear axle. It automatically raises from its integrated flush position when the speed exceeds 100 km/h (62 mph) and is retracted when the speed is reduced below 70 km/h (43 mph).
Polestar 1 comes with a fixed panoramic glass roof, stretching all the way from the top of the windscreen to the upper edge of the rear window.
The tyre sizes are 275/30 R21 for the front and 295/30 R21 for the rear. The Polestar 1 is available in six colors: Space, Snow, Midnight, Osmium, Osmium Grey, and Magnesium, with two options for the interior: Charcoal with Zinc for the seats or full Charcoal. Three options are available for the rims: Diamond Cut, Glossy Black, and Matte Black.
The exterior styling of the Polestar 1 (and the Volvo Concept Coupé that preceded it) was later used in the design of the current-generation Volvo S60.

Gold style.
Our first (and last) electric performance hybrid is a meeting point of obsessive design and technological innovation. With a combined power output of 609 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque, and a purely electric driving range of 124 km (WLTP), which is still the longest of any hybrid car in the world, it is a performance car that can be driven as a full EV in daily use, doubling as a long-distance GT at any moment.
To mark Polestar 1&#;s end of production this year, we unveiled a special edition at Auto Shanghai. The new version features "Sun" matte gold exterior paint job, complemented by gold-finished brake calipers. Inside, colour-matched gold stitching and seatbelts give the interior an even more distinctive feel. The 21-inch glossy black Diamond Cut alloy wheels are also exclusive to this extremely limited-run Polestar 1.
A maximum of 25 units will be built.
&#;This car was not designed to fit into a box,&#; says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO. &#;We didn&#;t design it to compete with other cars, and neither did we design it to suit a specific target customer. Polestar 1 was about pushing our own boundaries, exploring a new era for Polestar and launching the brand with a strong statement&#;.
That being said, Polestar 1 has won several awards and broad acclaim, from titles as varied as Autocar Business, GQ Magazine, Forbes and most recently won Insider&#;s car of the year (sharing the top spot with Polestar 2). And when the golden halo was exposed to the objective scrutiny of the press, what they had to say was a resounding confirmation of our view.
&#;Of course, Volvo Cars' performance brand wants to make sure that the hybrid GT of your dreams gets a great sendoff.&#; &#; Hot Cars

&#;Polestar 1 is about to cross the great divide, but at least it does so in a fashionable manner.&#; &#; Teknikens Värld (article in Swedish)
Thomas Ingenlath comments: &#;We pushed boundaries with this car, not only in terms of engineering but also in its design and execution. 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.&#;
Gold, then, seems like the perfect colour for a unique vehicle to bid an equally unique farewell.
