A Legacy of Performance
This year’s triumph builds on Polestar’s consistent performance in the Mille Miglia Green. The brand previously achieved a second-place finish in 2019 with the Polestar 1 hybrid GT and again in 2023 with the all-electric Polestar 2. The 2024 race saw the Polestar 2 Long range Single motor claim the top spot, a title the Polestar 4 has now successfully defended.

The Winning Vehicle
The victorious Polestar 4 was a Long range Single motor model, which boasts an impressive range of up to 620 km (WLTP certified). Powered by a 100-kW battery, the vehicle supports a charging capacity of up to 200 kW. For superior performance on the track, the car was fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres, which were co-developed with the Polestar chassis team to optimize handling and range.
Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller celebrated the win, stating, “Forza Polestar! With motorsport in our DNA, we continue to develop cars that win races. Congratulations to the Italian team for winning this iconic race for the second year in a row.”
A Modern Take on a Classic Race
The Mille Miglia Green honors the pioneering spirit of the historic race by running alternative fuel vehicles on the same routes as the classic cars. This parallel competition brings a sustainable focus to the world-renowned event.
Winning driver Mirco Magni shared his enthusiasm for the race, saying, “Every time feels like the first. The Mille Miglia gets under your skin like no other race in the world. Whether you’re driving a 100-year-old car or one built for the future, it makes little difference — it’s still an unforgettable adventure.”
In addition to the winning Polestar 4, the Polestar 3 finished in fifth place, and the Polestar 2 secured sixth place, demonstrating the strong performance of the entire model lineup.
