Swedish car manufacturer Polestar has revealed the Polestar 4, the world’s first mass-market car without a rear window. The vehicle is a five-door electric SUV coupé that is now available to buy in Europe and Australia, following its release in China last year.

Readers had varied reactions to the vehicle. One joked about its rear-windowless design, saying, “there’s no looking back from here,” while another praised its “forward-looking design”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section included the latest Maggie’s Centre designed by Studio Libeskind, an infinity pool in Lake Como by Herzog & de Meuron and Zaha Hadid Architects’ plans for 100 hydrogen refuelling stations in Italian marinas.
