Unlike the new Emeya, the upcoming Polestar 5 has the engineering hallmarks of an old-school Lotus
A fews week ago I was in Austria to have a go in the Lotus Emeya – an electric super-saloon with as much as 904bhp and a good dollop more interior space than you get in the Porsche Taycan, especially in the back. If you can make peace with the fact that it’s a Lotus that treads as heavily as a V8 turbodiesel-equipped L322-generation Range Rover , the Emeya is actually quite a decent thing. It's no reincarnated Carlton but it has some likeability about it.
The car will be low-slung and deliberately devoid of complex, electronics-reliant hardware, such as active anti-roll bars, rear-steering and air springs, all of which the Emeya gorges on. The 5 will be an unusual Polestar in that it sets out to be a seat-of-your-pants drivers’ car. The conception sounds quite Lotusy, too, doesn’t it? In a way, the 5 will be a four-door Evora EV. And this is where things get perplexing. Volvo and Polestar are ultimately controlled by Chinese conglomerate Geely.
