Polestar O₂ Concept revealed with autonomous drone footage

The Polestar O₂ Concept is the company’s new fully-electric hero car. Yes, it features a drone that follows you as you drive to film your exploits, but the real science behind it is in its construction. The car uses bonded aluminum for its spaceframe, marked by grade so that it can be better disassembled and recycled when the car’s usability comes to an end. Likewise, the interior uses new “mono-material” thermoplastic rather than a mix of plastic, leather, wood, and so on, making separation before recycling unnecessary. It’s all part of Polestar’s goal to build a carbon neutral car from wheel to well by 2030.

The Polestar O2 EV is a modern Lancia Stratos

No specs for the car were released, but the construction of the production ready aluminum platform is one you could only find in exotic sports cars a few years back. That, in combination with these Lancia Stratos proportions should make this one fun car to drive.
