Is Polestar Coming to Gran Turismo? Update: Yes. Yes It Is.​

There’s a somewhat overt hint from the official Gran Turismo social media channels that we’re about to get a new brand making its series debut, in the shape of Polestar...

I absolutely love my electric car and a total convert but i really dont want to see them in racing games mainly due to the sound.

 

[GTAndy36]

You'll just have to come to the event today to see what's what!

 

[Haitauer]

Id rather take more genuine Volvos than this chinese sister brand..

 

[Keef]

They've already got the skybox, why not bring the entire planet to Gran Turismo?

Volvo is as Chinese as Polestar

 

[MIE1992]

Hey, I'm down to see Polestar for sure! Though I'd also be more than fine seeing more Volvo models like the P1800, Amazon, and the 850. Maybe we could even see some of the Polestar-branded Volvo models before they started making their own cars, too!

Now it is, but im not talking about these chinese models. There are so many actual Volvos we need in the game. We could even have a manufacturer - 240 DTM, s40 btcc or 850 btcc as gr.4 and S60 V8 super car as gr.3.

Wishlist thread is over here:

The Gran Turismo Car & Track Wishlist Thread...

It seems that making wishlists is a particularly popular hobby for many of you :D No matter what the thread may be, someone, somehow, seems to shoehorn a list of cars and/or tracks that they'd like in the game into it - and we have more than one thread that's basically a wishlist with extra...

This one is for the prospective appearance of Polestar.

Pretty sure I'll be fine 😁

There is Volvo, so it should be in game
(Especially the Polestar 1)

Super GT just uploaded a video on YouTube for the spec 3 update and at the end it shows a 2026 Polestar 5 performance is seen in the dealership in brand central

That one over all the others indeed.

It may also open the door for a Volvo S60 Polestar TC1 WTCC.
I don't know if both Polestar and Volvo licence would be required for this car.

 

[XSquareStickIt]

If I drive a Polestar, does that automatically make me a polesitter?

 

[Nakano219]

Regardless of people's feelings on the specific cars that Skoda/Xiaomi/Yangwang/Polestar are bringing, it's cool to see the pendulum swinging back towards car companies wanting to be in games.

It doesn't feel that long ago that Toyota and the Stellantis group were both being weird about it, depending on the game.

 

[Fruitcake]

Yawn

 

[sirjim73]

Nope. And it doesn't make you a pole vaulter either

 

[Strittan]

I will never ever get the point of EV’s in racing games, but good for the nerds who like ’em I guess.

See, it's not just the Chinese stuff getting attention!

 

[jrbabbitt]

Yawn

A yawn is a silent scream for coffee....

 

[Gt2344]

Would this be in the Spec 3 or a normal update?

 

[CTznOfTime]

spec.3.update, but you will have a special event with the car first ... sometimes this month I think

 

[VXR]

I'm looking forward to putting an 850 BTCC style livery on it.

 

[GBalao888]

See, it's not just the Chinese stuff getting attention!

Polestar is partially Chinese, but yeah, seeing more Swedish stuff is cool too. Perhaps later down the line, hopefully we get a highly-requested Swedish brand now that Volvo and Polestar are in.

Saab doesn’t exist anymore so I don’t think we’re gonna see it☹️

Pontiac and Plymouth don't either. However, it'd still be a mountainous task to try and bring Saab back with SAAB AB(?) blessing.
