Koenigsegg and Polestar bosses meet to exchange views on Gemera and Precept
Some time ago, photos appeared on Instagram where Koenigsegg Gemera and Polestar Precept stood next to each other.Many people then thought that a collaboration was underway.But that was not the case.
Now a video has been released where Koenigsegg's CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg and Polestars CEO Thomas Ingenlath met with their design managers. They rode the new Koenigsegg Gemera and Polestar Precept and shared their thoughts on the two vehicles. While Koenigsegg chief designer felt the Precept 'a lot more sculptural than on the photos', Polestar CEO said the Gemera doe not appear subtle at all.
The 16-minute video shows both CEOs, along with their chief designers, discuss at length about the cars and their design philosophies. They talked about what they do to break the mould and what inspires them.However none of them actually shed any light on whether the two carmakers are planning to join hands in the future.
