The final design of the 'Polestar Synergy' features a single-seat floating interior design with an emphasis on control. The collaboration between the winning designers, Devashish Deshmukh and Swapnil Desai (both based in Paris, France), and interior designer Yingxiang Li (based in China) has resulted in this creation.
Deshmukh's design drew inspiration from hollowed-out volumes, drawing parallels with the sleek profile of a hammerhead shark. Meanwhile, Desai's vision focused on emotional durability, emphasising technical upgradability and materials. Li's interior design centres around a performance-oriented seating position that offers a new experience which is focused on "floating comfort and control."

Additionally, Polestar's production vehicles will be immortalised as Hot Wheels and Matchbox collectibles in the future.

This tour will take the electric fantasy supercar to various Polestar locations across the United States.
