No, your eyes are not deceiving you. This isn’t a render from an upcoming instalment of the Gran Turismo franchise, it’s actually a full scale model (or concept car, to you and me) of Polestar’s Synergy Design concept – anelectric carwith serious curves..
A brief sent out to various designers across the globe at the end of last year centred around “the experience of performance, providing an advanced technical story that enables this in a sustainable way”. Despite the slight ambiguity, the entries flooded in.
Drink it in. The awesome concept sits at just 1.07 metres tall and 4.56 metres long, boasting all of the proportions of a highly futuristic electric supercar, while simultaneously riffing on Polestar’s in-house design language.

Inside, there is a single seat and cockpit that revolves entirely around the driver, with a paper-thin digital head-up display and malleable digital screens festooning the doors cards and centre of the yoke-style steering wheel.
Although merely a design concept for now, the proportions and packaging are surprisingly on-point, with enough room in that svelte body to house powerful electric motors and the latest battery technology.

The decision to produce a full-scale model was clearly made to tantalise fans of fast cars, but it was also designed to announce Polestar’s partnership with Mattel’s Hot Wheels brand, with the EV maker’s vehicles being immortalised as Hot Wheels and Matchbox collectibles in the future.
As a result, the scale model will make its way to the US and begin its tour as a feature model at the Hot Wheels Legends Tour in El Segundo, California this October.
It will join a whole host of other “real life”, full-sized Hot Wheels cars that have captured Mattel’s attention to the point they have been immortalised in tiny toy car form.
