Volvo’s partner-in-speed Polestar is branching out into a new range of performance EVs, according to a new report, and the first one is just months away.

Auto Express has written that Volvo’s parent company, Geely, wants to use the Polestar name and the technical expertise behind it to build a brand that will, they hope, become an electric equivalent of what AMG is to Mercedes. Talk about jumping in at the deep end…

Polestar cars will use Volvo’s Scaleable Product Architecture (SPA) and Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), which form the basis of the latest XC60 and the range of 90-series models. It’s likely that they will be made in the same plants, too.
