Μια εταιρία που δίνει μάχη ώστε να ξεχωρίσει στον κόσμο της ηλεκτροκίνησης, με ένα ξεχωριστό σχεδιαστικό ύφος και ιδιαίτερη σχέση τιμής-απόδοσης. Αυτό είναι το Polestar Concept BST λοιπόν και έχει ιδαίτερο ενδιαφέρον να δούμε τι έχει να μας…πει.
The BST story started out as a one-off and totally unique Polestar 2. Created in secret by our Head of Chassis Development Joakim Rydholm, it was an exploration of just how extreme a Polestar 2 could be. Featuring more power, grippier tyres, beefed up suspension and even a strut-brace through the boot, it was as thrilling an EV as you would ever drive.
The battleship grey ‘experimental Polestar 2’ would sit parked outside our HQ. Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath used it as his daily driver, all the while contemplating how something like it could be put into series production.
Over Summer in 2020, visitors to the Polestar HQ, as well as passers by would remark on social media about the ‘Beast’ parked outside. Over time, the name stuck. And the BST name was born.
Enter the Polestar 2 BST edition 270. This car was an expression of our performance DNA in its purest form. Featuring 350kw/476hp, totally bespoke remote reservoir Öhlins dampers, lower ride height and Pirelli P Zero tyres, it was a laser focussed exercise in driving precision.
A second version of the car would arrive in 2023 in the form of the Polestar 2 BST edition 230. This car added Nebula paintwork and eco-conscious MicroSuede interior textiles.
Bringing the BST concept to each and every car line we have is what the conviction is today. We should and will develop a BST version of each.”
Before we can start out on that journey, Polestar – a design focussed brand – needed a concept that defines just what BST is. This is where the Polestar Concept BST comes in.
