2020 Polestar 1
Canadian MSRP: $197,000
Powertrain: Two rear-mounted electric motors combined with a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine up front, 619 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque
Hagerty’s take: “This sleek, elegantly styled coupe inspired by the famous Volvo P1800 is the first model launched by the new performance luxury brand from Sweden with a focus on electrification. It’s also a rolling sculpture rendered in carbon fibre whose sole job is to look stunning and inspire interest. For collectors, in particular, it’s also rare in a way that buyers of the latest 911 can’t hope to match. Just 1,500 examples will be made over three years, with 450 bound for North America in that timeframe.”
