Compared to an optionally bolstered base model, this souped-up EV features 166 modifications and will be limited to 270 examples.
Driving at speed in the souped-up EV requires my full attention as I rip through the rises and curves with instantaneous torque pressing my neck back against the headrest at the start of every straightaway. The top-end power builds at high speeds, too, but more importantly, numerous suspension revisions create a low center of gravity and a taut yet supple ride that this now-sporty four-door always deserved.
By now, just about everyone knows that instantaneously available torque makes electric vehicles very impressive in a straight line, but I found myself very curious to experience how well a skateboard battery platform, with focused suspension tuning, might perform given the model’s hefty curb weight of around 4,650 pounds.
As the BST starts a gentle lean onto the outside wheels, the advantages of rear-biased all-wheel-drive power delivery transform my Polestar 2 into what feels like a rally car, and I imagine the surrounding redwood groves to be the back roads of a remote Swedish rally stage, but without the screaming fans or internal-combustion cacophony.
The Polestar 2 BST Edition 270 never reaches the gut-punch burst of brutality that helps high-performance Tesla trims, the Audi and Porsche siblings, or a Lucid Air dominate drag strips on YouTube. But with a range estimate of only 247 miles for the AWD variant, this is still very much a city car, and the standard AWD Polestar 2 equipped with the Performance Pack already performs quite nicely, able to absorb more bumps with aplomb.
