In the latest competition, from a field of over 600 entries, participants were asked to design a Polestar vehicle that focuses on the experience of performance, while providing an advanced technical story that enables this in a sustainable way. The jury selected two exterior winners and one interior winner. After six months of collaboration between the winners and the Polestar design team, three different dreams were transformed into one cohesive reality.
The final design of the fantasy supercar features a single-seat, floating interior. At 4,560 mm (179.5 inches) long and 1,070 mm (42.1 inches) high, the vehicle features dramatic proportions and details not previously seen from the brand, resulting in a stunning supercar silhouette.

The two winning exterior designers, Devashish Deshmukh and Swapnil Desai, are based in Paris, France, while the interior designer, Yingxiang Li, is based in China.
Deshmukh's exterior design focused on hollowed-out volumes inspired by a hammerhead shark, while Desai's design focused on emotional durability with technical upgradability and materials that age gracefully over time.
The standout feature of the cabin is a performance-oriented seating position that offers a new experience focused on "floating comfort and control".
"It's not often student designers receive such exposure at the start of their career, something the Polestar Design Community on Instagram does so well, amplified this year by the 1:1 scale model and its planned tour of Polestar locations around the world," said Maximillian Missoni, Polestar's Head of Design.
Polestar Synergy concept
The Polestar Synergy concept will be on display in the Polestar Space in Munich during IAA 2023. Following its debut at the show, the 1:1 scale model will be shipped to the U.S. where it will begin its tour as a feature model at the Hot Wheels Legends Tour in El Segundo, California on October 7, 2023. It will later make additional appearances at Polestar locations across the country.
