Every time an automaker builds a one-off, high-performance prototype, we at all times pay attention “guy, we would like to do a manufacturing model,” however not anything in the end involves fruition. That is what we anticipated to occur to the experimental Polestar 2 the Swedish corporate confirmed on the Goodwood Pageant of Velocity in 2021. However courtesy of a statement from Polestar on Thursday, we’re very, more than pleased to substantiate that we had been fallacious.
Meet the Polestar 2 BST Version 270, a weirdly named advent that is in reality going to be constructed and offered to the general public. A complete of 270 shall be introduced international, and Polestar says as many as 47 of them are earmarked for the United States, relying on buyer call for.
Without or with the stripe, the BST Version 270 appears nice.

Like closing 12 months’s prototype, the Version 270 builds at the Polestar 2 with the functionality pack, however ups output to 476 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. Extra vital than that, alternatively, are the chassis upgrades, which come with racing-spec Öhlins dampers, a brand new entrance strut brace, a 1-inch decrease experience peak and 21-inch wheels with Pirelli P 0 tires.
The BST Version 270 appears hella cool, too, due to its added black frame paintings and not obligatory matte middle stripe. You’ll order the Version 270 in Snow or Thunder external colours, and there is a matte Battleship Grey wrap to be had, too.
Need one? Heck yeah, you do. However clearly, the Version 270 may not be affordable. Pricing begins at $76,900 together with $1,400 for vacation spot — a complete $18,100 greater than a dual-motor Polestar 2 with the functionality pack. Including the middle stripe prices $1,000 and the matte wrap is any other $5,000. Manufacturing is anticipated to start this summer time.
