Polestar, an automotive innovator born out of Volvo's evolution into an independent entity dedicated to crafting its own vehicles, has unveiled a concept that exudes a distinctive futuristic charm. While it may not necessarily find its way into mass production, the Polestar Synergy serves as a remarkable testament to the automaker's prowess in merging avant-garde design with state-of-the-art technology, all within the confines of a single-seat sports car, providing an authentic cockpit experience for the driver.

Despite its futuristic appearance, the Polestar Synergy is a collaborative creation, not solely attributable to Polestar. This unique concept vehicle, bearing the moniker "Synergy," is the result of a creative fusion born out of the Polestar Design Contest. In essence, it's a manifestation of three prize-winning designs carefully selected from a pool of over 600 submissions, meticulously brought to life in this breathtaking 1:1 scale model.

In this riveting design competition, participants were tasked with envisioning a Polestar vehicle that not only boasted outstanding performance but also provided detailed technical explanations for its feasibility. From the initial pool of 600 entries, a rigorous selection process identified ten finalists. Ultimately, two designs were chosen for the exterior aesthetics, while one design was earmarked to shape the Synergy's interior.

After more than six months of tireless effort, the awe-inspiring full-scale Polestar Synergy model emerged.

Complementing this, Yingxiang Li's cockpit design emphasizes a performance-oriented seating position, harmonizing "floating comfort and control" to enhance the driving experience.
