Polestar has already shown off the futuristic concept concept which could get two motors out of the P10 with a potential 1,254 bhp on offer.

Many electric cars don’t have a gearbox—only the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT have one, but even though they’re popular performance EVs, most people aren’t really that fond of transmissions. Now it turns out, even Polestar is developing its own electric motor and two-speed gearbox, similar to the Volkswagen Group carmaker.
Reportedly, the P10 motor is being developed in Sweden and is about 50 percent more powerful than the one used in the Porsche Taycan motor and is going to output 627 bhp or 475 kW. This will be paired with this new two-speed gearbox and when paired with a vehicle with an all-wheel-drive system, each axle may get its own cog swapping action. And this new motor will also be exclusive to the Polestar as it will not be shared with its parent Geely or Volvo.

This means the technology won’t flow as well to Lotus, which is beginning to electrify its own portfolio after being acquired by Geely in 2017.
“There’s no reason the Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 would be talked about in the same sentence. Polestar wants to be a Porsche competitor in design, performance and innovation,” said Gregor Hembrough.
It looks like Polestar wants to move to Porsche and go after the Taycan with a direct rival of its own. What could that be? Well, it has already shown the futuristic concept concept, which could get two P10 motors with a potential 1,254 bhp, making it one of the fastest EVs in the world against the Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Dream.

Polestar will likely use an 800V EV architecture being developed together by Volvo, Lotus and Polestar and could integrate a 103 kWh battery back that charges to 80 percent in 20 minutes and V2X capabilities at its heart. will be embedded in.
