Yahoo Autos Polestar looking at building the O2 convertible concept
Polestar is planning on releasing a volley of new models in the coming years, but it's not scared of taking on additional projects. Company boss Thomas Ingenlath said that his team is looking at ways to build a production version of the O2 concept unveiled in March 2022.
"My ambition is to make it a production car, but it's not that easy," he told Top Gear. Part of the issue is undoubtedly that the O2 would land in a segment that's shrinking. Demand for convertible models is falling, and carmakers from all over the spectrum are ditching the segment.
Ingenlath also hinted that the O2 wasn't necessarily envisioned as a production car, it was more of a statement of intent for the brand, so his team needs to figure out how to make it one. "You have to respect the complexity. We have to see where the O2 is going. When you've painted a painting, it's always good to let it rest and look at it after a couple of months and still see if it's a good painting," he said.
