Polestar has unveiled a concept that makes you wish it would quietly slip into production tomorrow. The Formula 2030 is low, wide, and muscular, with four doors and enough suggested practicality to help you justify the rather large wheels.

Unfortunately, Polestar has no plans to produce the Formula 2030, but some of what you’re looking at is headed for cars you can actually buy. So this is the first Polestar penned under the brand’s new design boss, Philipp Römers, who took the role in August.

The study measures 184.3 inches (4,680 millimeters) in length and stands just 53.1 inches (1,350 mm) tall, making it lower than the Polestar 5. For reference, that’s about as low as Audi’s last TT sports car, but the concept’s aggressively bulging rear haunches and low stance make it look a lot meaner and sportier.

It features plenty of cool, subtle details you may not notice at first. The headlights, for instance, sit within a front aerodynamic wing, while a single upright windshield wiper screams motorsport. Polestar has ditched the familiar full-width rear lightbar for separate “Single Blade” lights. The 22-inch wheels, splitter, and diffuser sport variations of the same "Nitrogen" exterior color.

Inside, four individual seats have inflatable cushions and bolsters that adjust around their occupants. Rear-hinged rear doors swing open for pillarless access, while exposed structural components and flax-based composite seat backs really highlight the use of this sustainable material.

The coolest thing about the interior, though, is the fact that the cockpit also physically changes depending on the driving mode.
