A Creation Born from the Polestar Design Contest
The Polestar Synergy is the result of the latest Polestar Design Contest, which attracted over 600 entries from emerging designers worldwide. The challenge: create a Polestar vehicle that blends cutting-edge performance with a sustainable vision.
After an intense selection process, three winners emerged — Devashish Deshmukh and Swapnil Desai from Paris for the exterior design, and Yingxiang Li from China for the interior concept.

Stunning Proportions and Striking Presence
Visually, the Polestar Synergy commands attention. Measuring 4,559 mm in length and 1,069 mm in height, the supercar’s proportions and sculpted form embody innovation and technical excellence. Every curve and surface element communicates Polestar’s forward-thinking design DNA.
From Munich to California: The Synergy on Tour
After its debut in Europe, the Polestar Synergy made its way to the Hot Wheels Legends Tour in El Segundo, California, on October 7, 2023. The show car will also visit select Polestar locations across the United States, allowing enthusiasts to experience its visionary design up close.
A Platform for Young Designers
Maximillian Missoni, Polestar’s Head of Design, emphasized the uniqueness of this opportunity: “For young designers and students to receive such global recognition this early in their careers is extraordinary.” The Polestar community, particularly on Instagram, has been instrumental in celebrating and amplifying these fresh creative voices.
Polestar x Hot Wheels: A Design Partnership in Motion
In a surprising yet fitting collaboration, Polestar has partnered with Mattel’s Hot Wheels. The partnership not only brings scaled-down versions of Polestar cars but also inspires the next Polestar Design Contest, themed around Hot Wheels’ 55-year legacy. This collaboration perfectly embodies the spirit of synergy — blending innovation, playfulness, and automotive artistry.
The Polestar Synergy is more than a concept car — it’s a symbol of creativity, collaboration, and the next generation of design thinking. With its bold aesthetic and innovative origins, it captures the essence of what the future of electric supercars can be.
