Polestar has unveiled its all-new roadster concept, called the O2. The new Polestar O2 comes in the form of a 2-door sports car with a retractable hardtop and a 2+2 seating configuration.



The Polestar O2 borrows design cues from the brand's 2020 Precept concept, which also previews the Polestar 5 EV set to debut in 2024.



The O2 roadster concept will use an adapted version of the aluminium architecture, which will underpin the Polestar 5. The roadster concept is substantially shorter than the Polestar 5 and also features a 400 mm shorter wheelbase. Polestar has removed the 'foot garage' on its skateboard chassis floor on the O2, which is said to help offer huge rigidity and also improve handling and dynamics.



As with any Polestar EVs, the concept has been designed and developed with a lot of sustainable and recyclable materials. It also comes packed with features, including a set of large 22-inch wheels. Polestar also states that the O2 features aerodynamically sculpted body panels, improving airflow and maximising its range.



The Polestar O2 is said to be a performance-oriented roadster. However, the company is yet to reveal any of the powertrain details of the EV concept. There is also no news yet, whether or not the O2 will make its way into production anytime soon.
