New Polestar 1 Hybrid Sports Coupe

Polestar, formerly an inbuilt division for Volvo making performance variants, and now an independent automaker that will make performance electric cars based on Volvo design and chassis, has showcased it's first ever car - the 'Polestar 1'. The Polestar 1 will be an hybrid performance car that will be built in a new purpose built factory in China alongside two other cars that Polestar will showcase soon. The Polestar 1 will have an electric motor along with a set of electric batteries along with a turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine that will power the car.

The all-electric range on the Polestar 1 will be 150 kms, which is the longest range of any hybrid car running purely on electric power on the market today. Combined with the 4-cylinder engine, the Polestar 1 will put out 600 bhp of peak power and 1000 Nm of peak torque. The Polestar 1 will be the halo offering of the Polestar brand and is a four-seater 2-door coupe that is essentially a coupe version of the Volvo S90. The car is underpinned by the Volvo SPA that also underpins the S90 sedan in its standard form but has been modified by up to 50 per cent to accommodate the high performance batteries and motor.

“Polestar 1 is the first car to carry the Polestar on the bonnet. A beautiful GT with amazing technology packed into it - a great start for our new Polestar brand. All future cars from Polestar will feature a fully electric drivetrain, delivering on our brand vision of being the new standalone electric performance brand".
- Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar Chief Executive Officer
Advanced design and mechanics
Described as the new brand’s halo car, the Polestar 1 is based in large part on Volvo’s Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), though 50% of the chassis is new to the model, which adopts a 2+2 seating configuration. Its range in all-electric mode is 150 km – more than any other plug-in hybrid model currently on the market.

Nissan Note

The premium hatchback market in India is a growing segment for sure. Some of the big players such as Maruti , Hyundai , Honda , and Volkswagen etc. have a good presence in this particular segment. Nissan, on the other hand, has never had a premium hatchback in its portfolio for India. There might be a possibility of Nissan changing this situation. We mean to say that the Nissan Note has been spotted testing in India. The Note is a sub-four metre hatchback from Nissan which could be introduced in India and rival the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno , Hyundai i20 , Honda Jazz and so on. The model that has been spotted testing is a 'Medalist' variant, which we are guessing, is the top-spec variant which gets a bunch on premium touches such as newly designed 15-inch alloys, cosmetic updates and newly designed fog lamps as well. The rear bumper has parking sensors along with the tail-gate getting a 'Medalist' badge. The Note gets a 1.2-litre petrol engine whi...

Top 10 rarest car

10. 1957 JAGUAR XKSS Robb Report One of the most sought out classic Jags, only 16 of the 1957 Jaguar XKSS were ever made. While the first on our list, due to the comparatively larger number of cars produced, this by no means indicates a lesser value or cost. These rare classic cars were first sold in the 50s and went for about $5,000. Now, of course, we know that today it is worth far more than its original price in 1957. As of 2014, the estimated value of the Jaguar XKSS owned by Steve McQueen’s is $30 million . So, while there may have been a larger amount made, it is possibly one of the most rare expensive cars as well for now. With recent news that Jaguar is producing  nine more XKSS’s  it is possible the estimated value of the XKSS might go down.  The story behind the making of the XKSS begins with the iconic Jaguar D-Type. Faced with a problem of what to do with the remaining 29 unsold D-Types back in the 50s, Jaguar went forward with the idea of transf...
