Volvo turned its race-tuning sub brand Polestar into its own company with a focus on electric performance last year, and at the Geneva Motor Show this week it revealed the Polestar 1 GT, a hybrid electric car that’s designed to go toe-to-toe with Tesla for performance-loving customers eager for alternative powertrain options.
In person, the Polestar 1 is quite fetching, especially in the matte grey that the car was wearing at the show. The styling is a bit more muscle car throwback than Tesla-like oval arcs, but that’s to the car’s credit – it looks a bit mean, but in a good way.
