Polestar unveils its new limited edition
March 21, 2023
Polestar has created a second limited-edition version of Polestar 2 called the BST edition 230.
Starting with the exceptional chassis modifications developed for ultimate thrills in the original BST edition, the new version puts more focus on performance design details.
“Limited drops like the BST edition 230 allow us to explore colours, graphics and materials in faster and more creative ways,” says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.
Unique design upgrades for the 350kW and 680Nm Polestar 2 BST edition 230 include exclusive green Nebula paintwork and MicroSuede textile for the seats and steering wheel inserts – made from partly recycled Nubuck textile.
The exterior can also be ordered in Space (black), with an optional full-length body stripe available for either body colour.
All the chassis upgrades that were first implemented on the original Polestar 2 BST edition 270 remain available, including the lowered ride height (-25 mm), specially developed and unique Öhlins 2-way adjustable dampers, front strut bar, 20 per cent stiffer springs and unique black 21-inch alloy wheels that are inspired by those of Polestar 1, fitted with 245/35R21 Pirelli P Zero tyres developed specifically for BST edition cars.
The vehicle can power its way from 0-62mph in just 4.4 seconds and maxes out at 125mph.
A total of 230 units will be produced for European and North American Polestar markets, with cars available to order immediately online at Polestar.com. Deliveries are expected from the third quarter of 2023.
