The Polestar 1 is set to make its first dynamic appearance
at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed from 12-15 July. Festivalgoers will see
prototype #004 of the two-door electric performance hybrid charge up the famous
hill climb, set in the grounds of Goodwood House in West Sussex.
Driven by Polestar chief test driver Joakim Rydholm, the
drive is part of the continued global launch of the Polestar brand and the
Polestar 1. It's an opportunity for enthusiasts and the public to get a closer
look at the design and performance of the car as it continues its real-world
performance, chassis and suspension-testing programme.
"I am really excited to drive the Polestar 1 prototype
up the hill at Goodwood," enthuses Joakim Rydholm. "Driving the hill
climb has been a long-time ambition for me, and to be able to do it in the same
prototype in which we've spent so many months of development time is truly
special."
Polestar will also be present in the manufacturer area. In
contrast to the camouflaged prototype, two production-specification Polestar 1
cars will be on display, representing yet another opportunity to experience the
car in detail ahead of the first customer deliveries in mid-2019.
Thomas Ingenlath, Chief Executive Officer of Polestar,
comments: "I'm thrilled that we're going to be at the Goodwood Festival of
Speed – it's everything a big car event should be: full of passion, enthusiasm
and a chance to get really close to the cars. The response to the Polestar 1
from the UK and northern Europe has been fantastic, and we see this event as a
vital part of our continued 'global handshake' with enthusiasts and our
customers around the world. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet so many people
who share our passion for Polestar and the future of the brand."
Following the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Polestar 1
will make its North American debut at Monterey Car Week in California from
23-26 August.
