Polestar: Production Based on Demand
Exciting news has been released about the Polestar 6 electric convertible – production won’t be as limited as previously thought! CEO Thomas Ingenlath has stated that “production would not stop at 500 if people want it” and it appears that people certainly do. The 500-unit LA Concept edition launch model was quickly snapped up when the car’s production was announced last year, proving the high demand for the Polestar 6.
No doubt the exclusive nature of the car hastened the reservations, but it wasn’t made for a museum. Maximilian Missoni, head of design at Polestar, told Autocar that the car was made to be “an everyday sports car for the electric age,” one that can be used as a “daily driver but with high performance.”
It was widely suggested that the Polestar 6 could deliver far more than just the initial 500 offered with the LA Concept edition. Traditionally, Polestar have been renowned for creating a restricted range of prestigious vehicles. Their Polestar 1, for example, had its limits to counting 1,500 in production over three years.

Given that our understanding of the influence of demand on production has grown, we have cause for optimism that these items may not be so scarce after all.
The car to roll off production will feature the retractable hard top present in the Polestar 02 notion, which was the foundation of the 6. It will take advantage of the same robust aluminum platform that facilitates the Polestar 5. On this, a 800-volt two motor setup is capable of delivering 872 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque – a power that should more than suffice if the vehicle is lighter, as that would be the desired outcome.
Straight-line performance may not be where only the Polestar 6 is expected to shine. In order to achieve something that can match topnotch rivals, like the Porsche 911, the firm aims to utilize trick suspensions coupled with a lightweight and rigid structure.

The Polestar 6 is projected to be released in 2026 for the purpose of taking on Maserati’s GranCabrio Folgore. Unexpectedly, it won’t be available before that due to the complexity relating to the assembly and structure of a convertble electric vehicle, not to mention extra protection elements. In any case, greater production quantities should be advantageous for balancing out the cost of concocting such an exclusive motorcar.
For those who crave a vehicle which is exclusive and unprecedented, there is an excellent likelihood that the Polestar Synergy supercar concept could be manufactured in the forthcoming future. Notwithstanding, do not submit an advance payments until you verify its limited-manufacture status.
