The Polestar Synergy is an electric supercar concept created by the Swedish automotive brand Polestar. It was unveiled at the IAA Mobility 2023 show in Munich, Germany, on 4 September 2023.[1] The Synergy was developed as part of the 2022–2023 Polestar Design Contest and presented as a full-scale, non-drivable model.[2]
Development
The Synergy concept originated from Polestar's annual design competition. The 2022–2023 edition asked participants to design a vehicle exploring the "experience of performance" through advanced and sustainable design.[3] More than 600 entries were submitted.[4]
Three designers were selected as winners:[5]
- Devashish Deshmukh (exterior, Paris, France)
- Swapnil Desai (exterior, Paris, France)
- Yingxiang Li (interior, China)
The three winners collaborated with Polestar's in-house design team for approximately six months to merge their concepts into a single full-scale vehicle.[2]
Design
The Synergy measures approximately 4.56 metres in length and 1.07 metres in height. It features a single-seat cockpit enclosed under a canopy, and an exterior design influenced by natural forms such as a hammerhead shark.[6] The interior has a centered driving position and minimalistic controls. Sustainable materials were used in the design model.[7]
Technical Details
Polestar did not release any technical specifications for the Synergy concept. The vehicle was not equipped with a drivetrain and was built purely as a design study. No production plans have been announced.[8]
Presentation and Partnerships
The Synergy was first shown publicly at the IAA Mobility 2023 event in Munich. During the unveiling, Polestar announced a collaboration with Hot Wheels (Mattel) to integrate design themes from the toy brand into future Polestar design contests and to produce scale models of Polestar vehicles.[9]
Following its debut, the Synergy concept was scheduled to appear at Polestar events and showrooms in multiple regions.[10]
Status
As of 2025, the Polestar Synergy remains a concept vehicle and has not entered production. It serves as an outcome of the company's global design competition and as an expression of future design direction.[11]
