Last year, Volvo announced it was expanding the purview of its Polestar high-performance sub-brand by making it a separate entity that would produce its own vehicles, and the debut of the first one, called simply the 1, followed shortly. This 600-hp plug-in hybrid is a carbon-fiber-bodied Volvo S90–based coupe; its electric-only range towers over that of other PHEVs at a claimed 93 miles. In addition to its flagship status, it’s also a bridge, as all future additions, including the already confirmed models 2 and 3, will be EVs. Polestar’s second entry will be a Tesla Model 3 fighter based on Volvo’s small-car Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), which also underpins the XC40, and it will be shown at about the same time as the mid-2019 launch of the 1 before going on sale about six months later. The Polestar 3 will be an SUV based on the next generation of the larger Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, dubbed SPA2.

But at least as interesting as the cars are the initial business-model claims, including that the cars will be available only to lease from small stand-alone stores that will be separate from Volvo dealers. But is Polestar really going to dive headlong into a U.S. legal thicket by trying to own these stores itself, as Tesla has? And what about the hotted-up-Volvo side of Polestar’s business? Of course, many things are still in flux ahead of the 1’s launch in mid-2019, but we had the chance to catch up with Polestar’s senior leadership and fill in a few more details.

2020 Polestar 1

–

Wisely, Polestar is not going to try to own the retail spaces itself. Polestar COO Jonathan Goodman said current Volvo franchisees will be given the first opportunities to invest in a stand-alone Polestar store, which will eventually number 20­ to 25 in the United States. Critically, the employees of these new spaces are intended to be more educators than salespeople, and they won’t be paid on commission. Polestars will likely funnel through Volvo dealerships for pre-delivery inspection before being delivered directly to a buyer’s home. Service will be scheduled via smartphone app and promises to be seamless due to the ability to use a phone as the key. The owner can grant access to the courier who will pick up the car and deliver it without ever handing over a physical key. Actual servicing will take place at Volvo dealers by Polestar-trained technicians.

–

The single monthly payment to lease a Polestar will include insurance and maintenance as well as the ability to borrow other cars, including Volvos. A particularly intriguing option is to have a car waiting upon your arrival at a distant airport. There will also be additional features, such as loaner accessories (why buy a roof rack when it’s just going to sit in the garage most of the time?), remote detailing, and additional car-swap days, which will cost extra. There will likely be tiered pricing, in which you can opt to pay a higher monthly payment that includes credits for more of these services, or, alternatively, the ability to pay individually for each one as desired.

2020 Polestar 1

CEO Thomas Ingenlath, formerly Volvo’s design chief, isn’t coy about the fact that Polestar is a low-risk way to test new sales models that could later be adapted for use at the Volvo mother ship, or for Lynk & Co in China, which arose from a combined Volvo/Geely effort. And many of these ideas are extensions of on-demand services that Volvo has been tinkering with in the United States, such as fueling and detailing.

And how about high-performance Polestar variants of Volvo models? Those will continue, as will Polestar accessories, but, confusingly, those will be available only through Volvo dealers and not through the stand-alone Polestar stores. Also slightly confusing is the couldn’t-be-simpler naming convention. Polestar officials like to use the abbreviation PS in front of the company’s model names, but PS3, for example, is a mental mapping that’s already occupied by a certain electronic gaming console. Referring to it instead as “Model 3” also creates obvious confusion.

–

But the services-on-demand features are intriguing, as is the thought of highly designed, higher-performance Volvos. We’ll be waiting to see how it all shakes out.

A new streaming company is getting in on the live TV action. Today Plex announced live TV streaming support for its Plex Pass members. The streaming content service will now be able to stream live TV from over-the-air (OTA) providers directly through the Plex app. Supported networks include major broadcast channels like ABC and CBS, giving subscribers one place where most of their streamable content can live.

Plex’s new live TV beta will be available for all users with a Plex Pass. As long as you have an antenna and a digital tuner, you can stream HD digital broadcast channels, including local news and sports, from directly within the Plex app. Any digital antenna will work with Plex, and the company is continuously working to add more tuner support. Currently, all HDHomeRun models are compatible with Windows, Linux, Nvidia Shield, OS X, and NAS systems in the US, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia, while other tuner compatibility varies depending on platform. Plex Pass users don’t pay extra for live TV streaming—it’s bundled into the subscription just like other features, like DVR and cloud syncing. However, time-shifting features for live TV—including rewind and fast-forward—will not be available at launch, but they’ll come at a later date.

Until now, Plex only offered TV content through its DVR service, which is also coming out of beta today. While it wasn’t live TV, the service allowed Plex Pass holders to record free OTA broadcasts using SiliconDust HDHomeRun devices. Those DVR recordings were available across all Plex Pass holders’ devices. Now with live TV integration, you can set which shows to record directly within any Plex app (previously, recorded shows had to be set through the Web app only) and watch them on any device associated with your Plex account.

It’s also host to one of the biggest meets in the world for cars built by famous tuner company Liberty Walk. Before I talk about that, I want to talk about Dank.

Depending on which dictionary you use, “dank” could mean something moist or a term used to describe “high quality”, like a McLaren 720S or some choice memes. But neither is the correct use of the word in this case as it refers to a dealership specializing in, well, special cars.

Most of the cars in Dank’s (Auto Plaza Dank to give their full name) stock list some form of aftermarket modification, be it some new rims here or a full Fab Design conversion there. The dealer organized a meet of some of their customers at Fuji as part of the Motor Fan Festa.

The Dank cars were also joined by some customers from Power Craft. These guys are popular with local supercar owners for their distinctive high pitched and ear-destroying noise, full of silly pops and crackles.

They make exhausts for most European brands including Maserati, BMW, Audi and Ferrari. In Japan, they’re most popular with Lamborghini owners. Nearly every other Aventador in Tokyo is fitted with a Power Craft exhaust. They’ve gained some recognition overseas more recently too.

While everything else was going on in the morning of of the Motor Fan Festa, the Dank and Power Craft cars were tucked away in a parking area near the edge of the circuit. It was quite a breathtaking sight seeing all these colorful supercars parked under the very visible Mount Fuji.

The orange Cobra stood out, not because of the color which was beautiful, but because it was a Cobra. As surprisingly diverse as Japan’s car scene is, we don’t see many of these around. I’m not entirely sure if this particular Cobra was a real one or a very convincing replica but it was very cool nevertheless.

Personally, the purple Viola SE30 Lamborghini Aventador SV was my pick of the bunch. It’s probably the best looking SV in Japan. Of course, this had a Power Craft exhaust on it too.

There were a few oddball cars, suggestive of the type of customers Dank and Power Craft have. The FAB Design Mercedes SLS Roadster in a sort of matte red finish was an eye-catcher, even with a road-legal yellow Ferrari 458 GTC next to it.

There was also a baby blue widebody Forgiato Corvette. For some odd reason Forgiattos are quite a popular aftermarket wheel choice in Japan. It’s just one of the many things I’ve tried to understand but can’t. Some things are better left unanswered, I suppose.

Speaking of widebody cars, despite Liberty Walk having a dedicated separate parking area, a couple of their cars found themselves at the Dank lot. The Liberty Walk Porsche 997 Turbo is a reminder RWB aren’t the only ones widening 911s.

Another interesting car was the Murcielago with a sort of glittery black wrap on it. Of course there were still some untouched cars such as the Ferrari F40, Challenge Stradale, and a pair of Murcielago SVs.

Once the cars from the Grand Grid Walk went back into their garages, the 80 or so customer cars from Dank and Power Craft made their way to the starting line. They were allocated 20 minutes to go around Fuji Speedway.

On average, a modern high performance car can do a lap around Fuji in well under two minutes, so we were expecting them to do around 10 or so laps. I mean, when you have a road-legal Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo, a legendary Ferrari, and god knows how many Aventadors on an empty track, you’d expect something wild to happen, right?

Well, no. They all drove at walking pace, probably because they couldn’t organize 80 cars to go around Fuji without creating a jam. Tokyo is known for its traffic, Fuji Speedway isn’t. As a result they were only able to go around the track three times. Which would’ve been fine if they were able to go at some speed.

It was a shame, because I’m sure the whole point of this parade was also to let the 20,000-plus crowd bask in the noise of the Power Craft exhausts. That said, they were able to open their cars up a bit on the main straight. But for the rest of the track, the most noise we got was when a few cars caught up to the rest of the parade and had to downshift. A couple of drivers did stick their cars in neutral and gave us a few revs, but that was about as exciting as things got.

But as great as it was seeing all the various supercars Dank and Power Craft had brought along with their bright colors, it was nothing compared to the Liberty Walk meet.

These guys literally had an entire parking lot all to themselves. The infamous wide body builders have seen insane growth and popularity since their first appearance at SEMA in 2012. Since then they’ve sold over 200 kits in Japan, and more than 170 of them showed up at the Motor Fan Festa.

If this wasn’t the largest gathering of Liberty Walk cars in the world, it was certainly very close to it.

Though it was hard to see the crowd’s general reaction at the sight of some 80 percent of Japan’s Liberty Walk fleet, the parking lot where they were gathered at was certainly filled with enthusiasm.

I wonder if anyone will send an Aventador SV in to get the Liberty Walk treatment? Or perhaps that’s where they draw the line.

Evidently they have no problem modifying more “normal” cars too such as the many Infiniti G37 Coupes, Mini Coopers, Dodge Challenger, and the odd Chrysler 300. Hell, they’ve even got a kit ready for the new Toyota Prius, which I have mixed feelings about.

As this was a festival aimed at lovers of cars it was no surprise the spectator’s parking area had a few goodies in there too. There was a widebody Honda S2000, something I’ve never seen before.

I also had my eye on this immaculate Peugeot 106 GTi, a reminder the French brand made some great little cars in the past.

Knowing full well of the stunning twisty mountain roads (or touges) around Fuji Speedway it was no surprise to see a few drift ready cars in the public parking area. The pair of stripped out Nissan Silvias stood out amongst the black vans and wagons surrounding them.

A car not many people outside Japan might know of is the Toyota Verosa, a rear-wheel drive sedan aimed more at middle-aged executives than drifters. But that didn’t stop the owner of the baby blue one from trying. Yes, over fenders are very much still in style here.

Wrapping up the car park goodness was the NA1 Honda NSX-R. After a day of wide body excess and far too many Forgiato wheels for my eyes to bear, it was refreshing to see this sports car in the same condition it left the factory over two decades ago.

If this is an event you’re interested in visiting in the future, it happens around the last weekend of April. It’ll be held again next year so you can plan your trip around it. Be sure to prepare a rental car and lots of patience. It took us around two hours to get from the parking lot to the motorway. But that’s what happens when gearheads from all around Japan gather to share their passion—no matter what they’re into.

No other show sees money, status, and glitz intersect with power, bespoke creations, and tuner cars as they do in the Swiss city. Oh, sure, there are plenty of name-brand factory exotics and sports cars on display, too, but it really takes some chutzpah to stand out in a sea of extroverts. That’s where the tuners come in. Sporting names that would make Ian Fleming proud, the products of these firms always hit Geneva in force. Here are the 10 we selected as the standout creations—for good and bad—from this year’s show.–Gemballa Avalanche (Porsche 911 Turbo)–Of course, the rear end is even more absurd, with a giant wing, ’80s-style louvers on the rear window, an enormous scoop, and four exhaust outlets that look like afterburners from a Star Wars spaceship. It’s all finished in an eye-popping purple color over a black-and-white leather interior.–ABT RS6+ (Audi RS6)–ABT RS6+ (Audi RS6)–Kahn Vengeance (Aston Martin DB9)–Kahn Vengeance (Aston Martin DB9)–The Mercedes-McLaren SLR was never the prettiest car to begin with, so the question is whether Fab Design’s ministrations create true Desire. The entire body is cloaked in carbon fiber set off with a bright blue stripe and a matching blue custom interior that might have been pulled from a speedboat. A custom front fascia features an extended splitter and replaces the three-pointed star with Fab Design’s own logo, while the rear is similarly reworked with a large diffuser.–Fab Design Desire (Mercedes-McLaren SLR)–Tech Art 911 GT Street R (Porsche 911 Turbo S convertible)–Tech Art 911 GT Street R (Porsche 911 Turbo S convertible)–Mansory Rolls-Royce Dawn (Rolls-Royce Dawn)–Mansory Rolls-Royce Dawn (Rolls-Royce Dawn)–Mansory Bentayga Black Edition (Bentley Bentayga)–Mansory Bentayga Black Edition (Bentley Bentayga)–Mansory Porsche Panamera (Porsche Panamera)–Mansory Porsche Panamera (Porsche Panamera)–Mansory Maserati Levante–Mansory Maserati Levante–TopCar Design GLE Coupe Inferno (Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe)–TopCar Design GLE Coupe Inferno (Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe)—
