BST Edition makes no additional power but sits lower than the standard polestar 2
Standalone EV brand Polestar has revealed a new limited-run performance variant of the 2. Called the Polestar 2 BST Edition 270, the performance model develops the same amount of power as the standard all-wheel-drive Polestar 2 long-range but gets a bespoke suspension set-up, sits lower to the ground and gets tweaks to the cosmetics to stand out. As the name suggests, the Polestar 2 BST Edition is limited to just 270 units globally with production to commence later in the year.
The BST Edition features an all-wheel-drive layout with the electric motors developing a combined 469 bhp and 680 Nm – similar figures became available on the all-wheel-drive 2 as part of an over-the-air update. The BST though gets new two-way adjustable Ohlins dampers, stiffer springs, and a new front strut bar. The model itself sits 25mm lower to the ground than the regular 2. The BST Edition also sits on bespoke 21-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tyres.
The BST Edition uses the same 78kWh battery as the regular Polestar 2.
On the cosmetic front, the black finished lower body elements of the standard Polestar 2 are now finished in body colour while buyers have the option of adding on a black stripe running the length of car for an additional cost. Other smaller detailing bits unique to the BST Edition include gold-finished brake callipers, tyre valve caps and seatbelts – a hark back to some Polestar Engineered Volvo models prior to Polestar going standalone. The special edition is available solely in grey or white with a ‘charcoal weavetech’ interior.
