Polestar in pole position at Goodwood

July 14, 2023

Polestar was back at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with some of its forthcoming models making their dynamic debut at the iconic event – including Polestar 3 and Polestar 5.

Polestar 5 Prototype

In the First Glance Paddock, the 380kW/517hp Polestar 3 and 650kW/884hp Polestar 5 prototypes were joined by the 350kW/476hp Polestar 2 BST edition 230 with both cars taking on the famous hill climb.

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, said: “We love showing our latest prototypes to the public at Goodwood. With production now starting in the first quarter of 2024, it’s time for Polestar 3 to take its first-ever run up the famous Hill.

“The SUV for the electric age looks fantastic and will be an exceptional car to own. The latest Polestar 5 verification prototype was on show, too. Developed in the UK, Goodwood is like home turf for our electric 4-door GT.”

On the main Polestar stand, Polestar 3, the updated Polestar 2 with rear-wheel drive and the Polestar electric roadster concept were on display while Electric Avenue hosted Polestar 3 this year.

The updated Polestar 2 and the limited-production BST edition 230 are available to buy online today. Polestar 3 can be ordered online and will soon appear in Polestar Spaces in all markets, with deliveries expected in Q2 2024. Polestar 5, the production evolution of the Polestar Precept, is planned for its official launch in 2024. Polestar 6, the production evolution of the electric roadster concept, is planned for launch in 2026.
