Polestar has revealed its latest creation, the Synergy electric fantasy supercar, at the IAA Mobility 2023 event in Munich. This stunning vehicle brings to life three winning designs from the recent Polestar Design Contest.
Over 600 entries were submitted to the competition, and the winning designs were chosen for their combination of performance-focused experience and sustainable technical innovation. The Polestar Synergy is the result of a six-month collaboration between the winners and the Polestar Design team, merging three distinct dreams into one cohesive reality.
The final design of the fantasy supercar draws inspiration from nature and features a unique single-seat floating interior design with a strong emphasis on control. Standing at 179.5 inches long and 42.1 inches tall, this vehicle showcases dramatic proportions and never-before-seen details that truly capture the essence of a supercar.
The two winning exterior designers, Devashish Deshmukh and Swapnil Desai, are based in Paris, France, while the interior designer, Yingxiang Li, is located in China.
Deshmukh’s exterior design draws inspiration from the hollowed-out volumes found in a hammerhead shark’s body, while Desai’s design focuses on emotional durability paired with technical upgradability and materials that age gracefully over time.
The interior of the Polestar Synergy features a performance-oriented seating position that offers a new experience centered around “floating comfort and control.”
During the IAA 2023 event, the Polestar Synergy concept will be showcased at the Polestar Space in Munich. Following its debut, the 1:1 scale model will be shipped to the US, where it will tour as a featured model at the Hot Wheels Legends Tour in El Segundo, California, starting from October 7, 2023. It will also make appearances at various Polestar locations across the country.
“The exposure that student designers receive at the start of their careers is rarely seen. The Polestar Design Community on Instagram has done an excellent job of amplifying this, and it has been further enhanced this year through the 1:1 scale model and its planned global tour of Polestar locations,” said Maximillian Missoni, Polestar’s Head of Design.
In addition to their latest creation, Polestar has announced a partnership with Mattel’s brand, Hot Wheels. The next Polestar Design Contest will take inspiration from designs in Hot Wheels’ 55-year history and future Polestar production vehicles will be immortalized as Hot Wheels and Matchbox collectibles.
