It may never happen—as is the fate with many "concept cars"—but it's pretty cool in any case.

The Polestar O2—the second concept car from Polestar after the company's 2020 Precept—is a 100-percent electric sports car that's a hard-top convertible. Included with the "concept" is a Polestar-designed autonomous drone hidden in the trunk that appears and launches with a button push from the sportster's cockpit touchscreen.

WATCH IT FLY!

The Polestar Precept ended up being put into actual production for release in 2024, so it's anyone's bet whether the O2 will be a real car or a dream.

 

DRONE ONBOARD!
