Polestar returns to the iconic ‘corsa italiana’, the Mille Miglia Green, to defend last year’s title* with its complete model line-up. In celebration of this legendary journey through the heart of Italy (17–21 June), Polestar introduces the ‘Collezione Mille’ — a tribute to heritage, design, and endurance.

Polestar is placing three cars on the starting line of this year’s Mille Miglia Green – all long-range versions of the Polestar 2, Polestar 3 and Polestar 4. These cars have motorsport and competition in their genes, combined with large batteries to enable range of over 600 kilometres** between charges. The cars are fitted with original equipment Michelin E Primacy and Pilot Sport EV tyres that are optimised for electric vehicles, and which have been co-developed by the Polestar chassis team – for optimal handling characteristics and range optimisation.

Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO says: “Polestar cars offer great performance, not only with fast acceleration, but also with outstanding range. We are winning many comparison tests already but to bring our lineup to the historical Mille Miglia Green race in Italy is an ultimate endurance test that brings classic car culture to the future.”

The unique ‘Collezione Mille’ racing liveries are inspired by the history of the Mille Miglia and pay a modern homage to rich Italian racing heritage. ‘Collezione Mille’ evolves the look and feel of the livery design presented with Polestar’s ‘Arctic Circle’ collection, which debuted at the FAT Ice Race in Austria earlier this year.

The two-tone paint scheme, with the ‘dipped’ front end, is traditionally how racing teams would differentiate drivers during the race. For Polestar, it becomes an extension of the yellow split colour scheme from the ‘Arctic Circle’ collection. The white circle, normally reserved for racing numbers becomes a design feature of the livery itself, appearing understated pre-race and then featuring the official entry numbers once Mille Miglia Green begins. Large 2,3 and 4 decals expressed in the colours of the Italian flag, celebrate the country where the Mille Miglia Green is hosted.

Follow live coverage of ‘Collezione Mille’ participating in the Mille Miglia Green between 17-21 June in the Polestar Instagram feed, @polestarcars.

Notes:

*In 2024, the Polestar 2 Long range Single motor became the first Swedish car to win the Mille Miglia Green, with all-Italian racing crew comprising Mirco Magni and Alessandro Ferruta. Read more at https://www.polestar.com/global/news/polestar-2-wins-1000-miglia-green/

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
