Just under a year after the first sports edition of its electric sedan, Polestar responds with the Polestar 2 BST edition 230.
The new Polestar 2 BST edition 230 targets fans of sporty electric sedans. With its more muscular look, it may resemble last year’s BST 270. The full grille introduced with the recent facelift helps differentiate the two vehicles. The BST edition 230 is dressed in a new khaki green shade, offered alongside a more classic black. An optional black stripe can further emphasize the sporty dimension of the car. 21-inch wheels are also part of the package. Inside, the seats feature a specific textile upholstery, which is also seen on the steering wheel rim.
A Polestar 2 with 476 hp
Equipped with a motor on each axle, the Polestar 2 BST edition 230 has all-wheel drive. It delivers 476 hp and a peak torque of 680 Nm. Limited to 205 km/h, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. The electric sedan, lowered by 25 mm, features Ohlins shock absorbers and Pirelli P-Zero tires. Braking is handled by 400 mm Brembo discs at the front and 390 mm at the rear. The 78 kWh battery is shared with the Long Range version. The range has not been specified by the manufacturer.
The Polestar BST edition 230 will be limited to 230 units. Its release in France seems unlikely given the current circumstances. Although the legal action initiated by Citroën over a logo issue is now behind, Polestar still does not have a presence on the French market.
