Revealed to the world in March 2022 as Polestar O2, Polestar 6 will be an electric roadster hardtop. Built on Polestar’s bespoke bonded aluminum platform, developed by Polestar R&D UK, it will boast an output of up to 884 hp and 664 lb-ft torque from a dual-motor powertrain, a targeted 0-62 mph sprint time of 3.2 seconds, and a top speed of 155 mph, all made possible through the same high-performance, 800 V electric architecture already confirmed for Polestar 5.
“With the overwhelming consumer and press response, we made the decision to put this stunning roadster into production and I am so excited to make it a reality. Polestar 6 is a perfect combination of powerful electric performance and the thrill of fresh air with the top down.” – Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath
Roadsters have famously been associated with consumption, colossal engines, and noise. Polestar calls that paradigm outdated. What they want is a new definition of performance, as embodied by the electric roadster. Lowering the top shouldn’t lead to a lungful of pollution. It should be the removal of a barrier between the driver and the car, the environment and the experience.
Good design enables emotional connections. Those connections make one want to use a product, to spend more time with it. And it’s long been proven that people feel an emotional attachment to their cars. Especially so with roadsters. Which brings us to another reason to release a fully electric hardtop.
It will bring more people over to the side of clean, sustainable, electric performance.
Marking the release of Polestar 6 will be the production of 500 numbered units of the “Polestar 6 LA Concept edition.” They will be realized in the “Sky” blue exterior, light leather interior, and distinctive 21-inch wheels of the original Polestar O2 concept, the version that instantly won hearts and minds when it was unveiled in the Gores Group building in Beverly Hills.
Fittingly, the announcement that Polestar 6 will go into production was made in the same state in which Polestar O2 was revealed, though not in Los Angeles. The news was proclaimed in Monterey, on California’s picturesque Central Coast, during Polestar’s appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering events during Monterey Car Week.
You can order a Polestar 6 right now with a $25,000 deposit. Expected delivery date is sometime in 2026. The indicative price of Polestar 6 LA Concept edition is $200,000.
With Polestar 6, it’s time. Time to usher in a new form of performance. Time for a roadster to capture the heart without compromising the conscience.
