Polestar announces the limited BST edition 230

Polestar announces a second limited-edition “drop” of Polestar 2 electric fastback within its Polestar Engineered portfolio – the BST edition 230. Starting with the exceptional chassis modifications developed for ultimate thrills in the original BST edition 270 last year, the new BST edition 230 puts more focus on the performance design details.

“Limited drops like the BST edition 230 allow us to explore colors, graphics and materials in faster and more creative ways,” says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.

Unique design upgrades for the 476 hp (350 kW) and 502 lb-ft (680 Nm) of torque Polestar 2 BST edition 230 include an exclusive green Nebula exterior paint, a first on any Polestar product. The interior features a MicroSuede textile for the seats and the steering wheel inserts – made from partly recycled Nubuck – to form an interior entirely unlike any other Polestar 2 on the road. The exterior may also be ordered in Space (black) to give the model a menacing look on any road it may drive, with an optional full-length body stripe available for either body color.

All the chassis upgrades that were first implemented on the original Polestar 2 BST edition remain included, including the lowered ride height (-25 mm), specially developed and unique Öhlins 2-way adjustable dampers with external reservoir, a front strut bar, 20% stiffer springs and unique black 21-inch alloy wheels inspired by Polestar 1. Tires are 245/35R21 Pirelli P Zero developed specifically for peak performance in Polestar BST edition cars.

A total of just 230 units will be produced for the European and North American Polestar markets – 60 for the U.S. and Canada. Vehicles are available to order at Polestar.com on a first come, first serve basis. Deliveries are expected from the third quarter of 2023.
