Polestar 1近日亮相原石滩车展，这也是该车首次在北美亮相。该车将于明年中期在成都投产，年产500辆，但在未来几年，产能将不断增加。该厂作为全球最高效工厂，不仅将投产Polestar 1，还将生产Polestar2，Polestar3，甚至Polestar4敞篷车。Polestar1作为一款混动车，具备150公里最长纯电动模式续航里程。该车搭载一台2.0升四缸涡轮和机械增压引擎，搭配双电机，瞬间功率可达600马力，扭矩1000牛米。由于车身采用碳纤维增强聚合物（CFRP）材质，车重可降低227公斤。该车在美国市场售价15.5万美元（约合人民币106.17万元），欧洲售价15.5万欧元（约合人民币123.69万元）。

 

Polestar 1 Beautifies Pebble Beach For Its North American Debut

The Polestar 1 is on a world tour as after receiving its European debut earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show, the stunning coupe is now in Pebble Beach for its North American premiere.

 

Initially supposed to be a Volvo S90 Coupe, the Polestar 1 is scheduled to enter production mid-2019 at a new factory located in Chengdu, China. It’s called the Polestar Production Center and will assemble a total of 500 units per year, but output will gradually grow in the years to come. It’s set to be one of the most efficient car assembly plants in the world and will be the home of additional models, including the already confirmed Tesla Model 3-rivaling Polestar 2 and a Model X-rivaling Polestar 3. Eventually, a Polestar 4 convertible could be added to the lineup.

 

Meanwhile, the Polestar 1 is set to have the highest electric range of any hybrid car out there by managing to cover as much as 150 kilometers (93 miles) solely on electric juice. At the heart of the coupe is a four-cylinder 2.0-liter gasoline engine both turbocharged and supercharged. It works with a pair of electric motors to develop a combined output of 600 horsepower and an immense 1,000 Newton-meters (737 pound-feet) of torque.

 

By using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) where you’d normally find conventional steel on a regular car, the engineers have been able to shave off more than 500 pounds (227 kilograms) to boost efficiency and performance.

 

The lovely styling and promising specs do come at a cost: $155,000 in the United States and €155,000 in Europe. Alternatively, those eager to get their hands behind the wheel of the 2+2 coupe will be able to do so by accessing a subscription program akin to Care by Volvo packages tailored to the XC40. It will bundle the car payment, insurance costs, and maintenance into one lump sum.
