Years ago, Polestar showed a glimpse of the 5 for the first time. This big Elektro-GT would initially come on the market last year, but his debut was shifted to later this year.
Polestar 5 Spotted during test work in Germany
Now it appears that a test site in Dortmund is at least worked on the car, unlike Tesla, that has been keeping us warm since 2017 with all kinds of teasers of The new Roadster Who never seems to come.
The Polestar 5 looks like a European Supersedan. But that is not entirely true. Although Polestar likes to tell about his Swedish roots, the technology is largely Chinese. And the term sedan is also not completely correct, since the 5 due to the lack of a rear window (Just like with the Polestar 4) On a mixture looks like a liftback and a traditional sedan.
Porsche as a benchmark
Porsches are also tested in the development of new Polestar models. They serve as a benchmark, so indicated head engineer Joakim Rydholm In an earlier interview with Autovisie. With the Polestar 5 that will be no different.

As a powerful electrosedan, the 5 must form a direct competitor for the Porsche Taycan Turbo models. Although the more than 1,000 hp Tesla Model S Plaid also fits in this list, Polestar does not seem to fear for that. “If we measure ourselves with Tesla in the dynamic field, then we will be ready soon,” said Rydholm during the interview with a meaningful smile.
Europeans want hatchbacks, Chinese sedans: this is the solution
What does the Polestar 5 have to offer? Not much is known about that yet. We do know that it will deliver 884 hp and 900 Nm of torque. That is a huge amount, although it is not too bad compared to the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire and This insane Mercedes-Ev who each generate more than 1,000 hp. Does the Swedish-Chinese brand keep room for an even stronger variant?
