About the brand
About Polestar.
Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC, or simply Polestar, is a Swedish automotive manufacturer that produces electric cars. Principally owned by Li Shufu's PSD Investment, Geely Holding and Volvo Cars, the company is headquartered in Torslanda, outside Gothenburg, Sweden. With an "asset-light" approach in development and manufacturing, Polestar does not have its own manufacturing facility; instead it produces cars in facilities controlled by Volvo or Geely in several countries, including China, the United States, and South Korea.
- History
- The company origins can be traced to the 1996 foundation of Flash Engineering, a Swedish racing team competing in Swedish Touring Car Championship (STCC). The team was sold and rebranded as Polestar Racing, which began modifying Volvos for racing in the late 2000s. In 2009, the brand became the official Volvo partner to modify existing models, under the brand Polestar Performance.
- Lineup
- Polestar started in 1996 as Flash Engineering, a Swedish touring car racing team, which was later renamed Polestar Racing and began modifying Volvos for competition in the late 2000s before becoming Volvo's official performance-tuning partner in 2009 under the name Polestar Performance, badging high-output versions of regular Volvo models the way BMW's M or Mercedes' AMG do for their own brands. Volvo bought Polestar outright in 2015 and repositioned it in 2017 as a standalone electric-vehicle manufacturer, spinning the racing operation off separately as Cyan Racing while keeping the Polestar name for road cars; the current holding company is jointly owned by Volvo Cars and Geely, and Polestar has traded on Nasdaq under the ticker PSNY since 2022. The lineup now runs the Polestar 2 sedan, the Polestar 3 SUV, and the Polestar 4 crossover coupe, with a Polestar 6 roadster, based on the Polestar O2 concept, planned for 2026 production. Despite that expansion, Polestar announced in 2026 that it will exit the U.S. market in 2027, a significant retreat for a brand that entered America as one of the more visible new EV-only nameplates.
- Racing
- Polestar has been working with Volvo since 1996, starting with racing Volvo cars and being involved in the development of race cars for Cyan Racing. In 2014, Polestar was involved in the development of a V8 powered Volvo S60 that was raced by Garry Rogers Motorsport in the Australian V8 Supercars series.
