The BST edition 230 is developed as part of the Polestar Engineered portfolio and adopts the same chassis modifications as the original BST edition but with more focus on performance design details. According to the company, the limited-edition model will allow them to explore colors, graphics, and materials in faster and more creative ways.
The Polestar 2 BST edition 230 features exclusive green Nebula paintwork and MicroSuede textile for the seats and steering wheel inserts. Customers also have the choice of a Space black paint for the body, as well as an optional full-length body stripe available for either body color. Other styling upgrades include the body color-painted sills and cladding and mirror caps in high gloss black.
The limited-edition Polestar 2 BST edition 230 is powered by a dual-motor electric powertrain that delivers a total of 469 horsepower (350 kilowatts) and 501 pound-feet (680 Newton-meters) of torque. This allows it to accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 kph) in 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 127 mph (205 kph).
In addition to its impressive powertrain, the vehicle adopts all the chassis upgrades that were first implemented on the original Polestar 2 BST edition 270. The upgrades include a 1-inch (25-millimeter) lower ride height, specially developed Öhlins 2-way adjustable dampers, front strut bar, 20-percent stiffer springs, and unique 21-inch forged alloy wheels. The black rims are fitted with 245/35R21 Pirelli P Zero tires developed specifically for BST edition cars. The Polestar 2 BST edition 230 also features Brembo 4-piston drilled and ventilated front brake discs with a diameter of 15.7 inches (400 millimeters) and standard single-piston ventilated rear discs with a diameter of 15.3 inches (390 mm).
