The Polestar 6 will not ultimately be a limited edition due to high demand

Although the Swedish manufacturer’s original intention was to produce only 500 units of its spectacular electric roadster, the plans have changed. With more than two years still to go before the first Polestar 6 units start rolling off the assembly line, we now know that the 500 lucky buyers who already have a reservation will not be the only ones able to enjoy this impressive vehicle.

In a recent interview with the media, Thomas Ingenlath, the company’s current CEO, has just confirmed that production of the Polestar 6 will ultimately continue for as long as there is demand.

Last August, coinciding with its official presentation, Polestar opened reservations for its electric roadster, limiting availability to just 500 units, and only a week later had to hang the “Sold Out” sign. This is precisely what seems to have led the company to change strategy, after finding that the level of existing demand is far higher than expected.

Ingenlath now states that once those first 500 Polestar 6 units are delivered in 2026, the company will resume production and return to the conventional sales model based on demand. Those who missed out and were unable to secure a reservation for the initial launch edition will therefore still have an opportunity to get hold of this dream car.

A high-flying electric car

The Polestar 6 will share the same 800 V architecture that we will also see in the brand’s new flagship, the Polestar 5. Its two electric motors will provide all-wheel drive and together deliver 650 kW of power with 900 Nm of torque. Sensational specifications that will allow it to reach 100 km/h from a standstill in just 3.2 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.

Based on the O2 prototype, it was Ingenlath himself who, at the time of its presentation, expressed doubts about whether that prototype could ever be put into production. However, shortly afterwards the company decided to do so after seeing the enormous enthusiasm it had generated among the public and the media.
