The Polestar 6 will not be available until 2026, but customers can register an interest later this year.

Polestar says the 6 will be blessed with "powerful electric performance".

The Polestar 6 features 21-inch wheels.

The 6 will be built around Polestar's bespoke bonded aluminium platform.

Polestar claims the 6 will be able to reach 100kph in 3.2 seconds.

The car has a distinctly sturdy look from the rear.

Nothing too old-fashioned here.

The 6 has a signature sky-blue paint job.

Details include ultra-aerodynamic wing mirrors.

The concept vehicle was designed as a hard-top convertible.

Customers will be keen to get the 6 off that plinth.

Electric performance car company Polestar has confirmed plans to put its freshest concept vehicle into production.

The latest arrival, dubbed the 6, is not expected to be available before 2026, but customers can register their interest later this year.

The car, which was first revealed as the O2, will feature the 800-volt powertrain already confirmed for the Polestar 5.

Performance figures indicate the 6 will reach 0-100 kilometres per hour in 3.2 seconds and have a top speed of 250kph.

“With the overwhelming consumer and press response, we took the decision to put this stunning roadster into production and I am so excited to make it a reality,” says Thomas Ingenlath, chief executive of Polestar.

“Polestar 6 is a perfect combination of powerful electric performance and the thrill of fresh air with the top down.”

This production confirmation comes ahead of the Swedish brand’s appearance at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance during Monterey Car Week in California, US, in August.

To celebrate this event, 500 numbered units, referred to as Polestar 6 LA Concept Editions, will be produced by the manufacturer when the car finally hits the roads.

These vehicles will feature the sky-blue exterior, light-leather interior and 21-inch wheels featured on the original Polestar O2 concept.
