Help identifying a car I saw?

Hi,

Unfortunately no picture and I only saw the front as it came up on me, but I followed it for several miles and noted a few details. There was no name badge on the back; it had dealer plates from a Volvo dealership.

Fairly low slung and wide, might have been a two seater; sporty, front grill had straight lines that were wide.

Rear had a speed retractable spoiler that flushed with the trunk, logo was a four pointed star the same color as the body and the taillights were “E” shaped with the “E” reversed on the passenger side top and bottom line of the “E” were much longer than the middle.

Cool looking car, never seen one before.

Guys here can identify a car quickly, wish I had a photo to make it easier.

Thanks

I'll bet that was it. Since Polestar and Volvo are related, that would explain the Volvo plate. The Polestar 1 is a hybrid, a halo car, based on the Volvo Concept Coupe, which got rave reviews. Very small number imported, $155,000:



Now Polestar is selling the all electric Polestar 2. I got one a couple days ago like this as there was a ridiculous employee lease. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds:
