First previewed at Goodwood FoS 2021, the Polestar 2 BST Edition 270 is a 469bhp take on the all-electric saloon -
, featuring more power from its dual-motor setup and some significant chassis and styling upgrades. A total of 270 units will be built – hence the name – with no more than 40 coming to the UK, reaching customers in the last quarter of this year.
Fundamentally, the Polestar 2 BST Edition 270 shares its technical package with the top-spec Polestar 2 Performance, pairing a dual-motor setup with the larger 78kWh battery. Power is up, though, and quite substantially too at 469bhp – a 72bhp rise – while torque is up 14lb ft to 501lb ft. Polestar hasn’t released performance figures, but you can bank on a subtle improvement on the 4.7sec 0-62mph time and 127mph top speed of the current top-spec car.
Aesthetically, the changes are more subtle, with new 21-inch wheels inspired by those found on the Polestar 1 give the car a more dramatic stance. The lower bumper and sills that are usually finished in matt grey are also now painted in body colour, with the option of two exterior colours, plus a further matt grey wrap available. For those wanting the full Polestar aesthetic, there’s also an optional full-length body stripe.
