Polestar 5 ready to take on the Taycan

OFFICIAL Swedish brand is gunning for Porsche with high-performance GT

- Jordan Katsianis

THE Polestar 5 has finally been revealed in its full production trim, with some eagerly awaited technical specs confirmed, too.

When it reaches customers in the next few months, the model will cost from £89,500 for the Dual Motor Launch Edition and £104,900 for the Dual Motor Performance. These prices significantly undercut a Porsche Taycan model-for-model, and the Swedish car largely beats it in terms of power and range, too.

Polestar has gone all out to design and develop its electric GT from a blank sheet of paper. It's not just the car that's new, but also the team behind it, the engineering facilities and even the plant it will be built in.

The Polestar 5 range will launch with two variants that share most of their technical elements, including a 112kWh battery and a layout with a pair of electric motors.
