Imagine a world where design enthusiasts from all walks of life are allowed to shape the future of mobility?
Polestar, the cutting-edge electric vehicle manufacturer, is making this a reality through its annual design contest.
Looking back at Polestar’s design contests we examine the remarkable Polestar Synergy, a concept car that pushes the boundaries of design.
The Birth of Polestar Synergy
In the 2022 contest, the theme was “performance,” challenging participants to envision the ultimate embodiment of speed and power.
The result was the Polestar Synergy, a revolutionary concept car with stunning aesthetics, inspired by another smooth operator, the Hammerhead shark.
The winners were three talented designers who collaborated to bring the Synergy to life. One designer focused on an interior merging luxury with cutting-edge technology, while the other two shaped the captivating exterior.
The contest marked a milestone for Polestar as it was the first time a one-to-one scale model was built for the winners.
Unveiling Polestar Synergy
The Synergy has been turning heads at prestigious events worldwide. Its rear design, boasting intricate geometric shapes, is a testament to attention to detail. On the other hand, the front takes inspiration from the agility and force of a Hammerhead shark.
Polestars are gaining a reputation for their distinctive brake lights and the Synergy continues that tradition, along with sleek aero elements that make it look like lighting on wheels.
The Future of Polestar
While the Polestar Synergy remains purely a concept, Polestar enthusiasts have much to look forward to. Polestar Five, is set to make its debut in 2025, which Ric and Graeme discuss during their interview.
This four-door model will combine top Swedish design with cutting-edge engineering from the United Kingdom, built on a bespoke bonded aluminium platform.
Polestar partners with Hot Wheels
In an exciting collaboration, Polestar has joined forces with iconic toy brand Hot Wheels to ignite design enthusiasts’ imaginations.

He wants enthusiasts to stay connected with the Polestar Design Community on Instagram to stay up to date with the competition and future design opportunities.
