TEASED: This Is The Polestar 5

Polestar has big plans for the future, includingraising more capital through an IPOon the stock exchange, but to achieve all of its goals, the Swedish automaker needs to offer a wider variety of cars so that it can appeal to a larger demographic. ThePolestar 1, one of the prettiest EVs around, was a great start and was even sporty enough to be the hero car inNeed For Speed: The Heat, but now it's time for new offerings.

One such car is thePolestar Precept, a concept that was last year confirmed to beheading to production. The final form of the car will see its name change to Polestar 5, an EV promised to be a performance GT. Achieving production from the concept phase is a long and drawn-out process, but Polestar is doing things differently by letting us see behind the scenes as a 2024 launch date approaches.

The above video is the third in a series of behind-the-scenes short films taking a closer look at the evolution of the Precept from the sketch phase to its concept form and now its transition to a full production car. Polestar Exterior Design Manager Nahum Escobedo explains that he designs cars from scratch, and when he starts his process, he doesn't look at other cars for inspiration. He wants his mind to be uncluttered and free, and rather draws inspiration from products such as radios and cameras, while architecture also plays a part. Escobedo also mentions aviation and nature, referencing airplanes and sharks as sources of creativity.
