Polestar has announced that build slot reservations for its 6 LA Concept have already sold out. The all-electric roadster won’t launch until 2026, and Polestar will limit production to just 500 examples. Now, reserved build slots aren’t sales, but they indicate a certain interest in the proposed EV.All 500 build slots received a reservation within a week of the car’s August 16 production announcement. Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said that the combination of the roadster body style and all-electric powertrain is “one that appeals to even the most die-hard petrolheads.” The level of interest has Polestar planning to open up the reservation books for regular versions of the Polestar 6 later this year. This version will arrive after the initial run of 500 LA Concept models.The Polestar 6 will share its underpinnings with the Polestar 5, using the brand’s 800-volt EV architecture and bespoke aluminum platform. The dual-motor powertrain can deliver as much as 884 horsepower (650 kilowatts) and 664 pound-feet (900 Newton-meters) of torque, which is a lot for any car. The EV could return a blistering 3.2-second 0-62-mile-per-hour (100-kilometer-per-hour) time). It could also have a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph).
The LA Concept edition models will arrive with the concept’s unique 21-inch wheels, the Sky blue exterior paint, and a light leather-filled interior. The concept debuts with an autonomous drone, but we don’t expect it will survive to make it into the production model.
