Although the Polestar 3 is set to be the flagship of the brand, the designer from Turin has been able to look into the future and propose the Polestar 8, a completely conceptual model that currently follows the brand’s design language. Concept versions of the Polestar 8 show a low-profile design, but one that is light years ahead of the flagship. Cybertruck. In this case, Salvatore Ville has chosen to replace the metal surfaces with black finishes, paying attention to details such as the cameras on the back, and also managing to get an overall aggressive look. The taillights have an attractive shape, with straight corners that create a light box that’s hard to miss, but fits well with the curves of the overall design.
