Based on the Experimental Polestar 2 that turned heads and won hearts at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Polestar 2 BST edition 270 is a limited edition, performance-oriented version of Polestar 2. Only 270 will be made for Europe and North America.
Polestar 2 BST edition 270: the performance-oriented Polestar 2
“This is a fun and exciting moment for Polestar,” says Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath. “We were really encouraged by the enthusiastic reception we received for the Experimental car, and I have enjoyed driving my own modified Polestar 2 in the last year, which inspired our Goodwood concept in the first place. It was clear we needed to put a special, more performance-oriented Polestar 2 into production.”
Building on the two electric motors and 78 kWh of the Polestar 2 Long range Dual motor version with Performance pack, and Polestar’s performance software upgrade, the BST has a power output of 350 kW (476 hp) and 680 Nm of torque, along with heightened responsiveness and sportier dynamics.
Other modifications include a 25 mm-lower stance, unique Öhlins three-way adjustable dampers with auxiliary adjustment chambers, 20% stiffer springs and unique new matte black 21-inch alloy wheels, inspired by those sported by its electric hybrid relative. Tyres are 245/35R21 Pirelli P Zero, developed specifically for this car. The standard 4-piston Brembo brakes remain.
