Polestar and Candela collaboration photographed by EDG Studios at Sydney Harbour Concours d'Elegance. Documenting the Swedish electric performance brands' partnership featuring the Candela C-8 Polestar edition hydrofoil boat.
‍
Candela is a Swedish electric boat manufacturer pioneering hydrofoil technology that reduces energy consumption by 80% compared to traditional motorboats. The C-8 Polestar edition features the battery pack and fast-charging technology from the Polestar 2, achieving 57 nautical miles on a single charge at 22 knots of cruising speed.

The collaboration event at Cockatoo Island featured Polestar's electric vehicles alongside Candela's C-8 hydrofoil boat within the Swedish Performance Hub activation. EDG Studios captured demonstration flights over Sydney Harbour, product installations showcasing computer-guided hydrofoils in iconic Polestar gold, and the sophisticated brand atmosphere that defines this automotive-marine partnership.
‍
The Candela C-8 uses aviation-inspired hydrofoil technology to lift the hull above water at high speeds, achieving silent, efficient performance. Carbon fibre hydrofoils elevate the boat, reducing wake, noise, and environmental impact while delivering luxury electric performance.
‍
Both Swedish brands share a common ambition: accelerating sustainable electric mobility through cutting-edge design and industry-leading innovation. The C-8 Polestar edition embodies Scandinavian luxury through a solid light grey exterior, a lighter grey interior, marine textile upholstery, and Swedish gold hydrofoils that mirror Polestar's automotive design language.
