Polestar has created special ‘Arctic Circle’ versions of its latest electric vehicles.
Built to celebrate the brand’s Swedish motorsport heritage, the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 Arctic Circle editions are one-off designs there to showcase the full potential of both electric vehicles.
Created at one of the firm’s Swedish research and design facilities, both cars benefit from the fitment of three-way adjustable Ohlins dampers, Pirelli studded tyres and OZ Racing wheels which should help these cars deliver maximum performance even in sub-zero conditions.
New Stedi Quad Evo front spotlights add an extra level of illumination, while inside there are some rally-inspired touches brought through the fitment of Recaro bucket seats. Skis, roof racks and other storage equipment can also be equipped to the outside of the vehicle.
Joakim Rydholm, Polestar’s head of driving dynamics, said: “We created something truly special when we worked on the Polestar 2 Arctic Circle, and to now apply that formula to our two new SUVs has been a fun and challenging task.
Racing wheels. Bucket seats. Arctic engineering.

“We have worked closely with our leading technology partners to bring bespoke engineering solutions to these cars that emphasise our performance DNA – and make them incredibly fun to drive.”
Both cars also get eye-catching ‘Swedish Gold’ tow hooks – should they need to be recovered – while the Polestar 4 model also benefits from a hydraulic handbrake. Despite all of the additional mechanical tweaks, both cars are based on ‘standard’ Polestar models with each using a dual electric motor setup. The cars will make their public debut at the 2025 FAT Ice Race in Zell am See, Austria, on February 1.
