Major Partner
Polestar
Sydney Contemporary’s luxury electric vehicle partner. Based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Born out of the need for sustainable change, we combine performance parts and materials with an obsessive attention to detail, creating cars we believe will make a difference. It’s in our Nordic genes to solve challenges through design. It’s what makes our cars unique, and not just from the outside. No decorations, no distractions. Minimalism is never about giving something up or doing less, it’s about removing anything that’s not necessary to create a pure experience. These are the reasons why Polestar exists. But the best reason to drive one is perhaps the most important reason of all. For the thrill of it.
