Motorsport-developed and custom-made for BST edition cars, the Öhlins 2-way adjustable front dampers allow compression and rebound to be set with only a few knob-turns. Paired with updated Öhlins Dual Flow Valve rear dampers, stiffer springs and a 25 mm lower ride height, they enhance car control through optimal steering response and pressure balance.
These 21” forged alloy wheels are stronger and lighter than their cast counterparts, reducing the car’s unsprung weight and improving handling and road contact. Unique to Polestar 2 BST edition cars, they use the Polestar 1 design language to start a new all-electric performance chapter.
To perfect the mechanical grip of the BST edition 230, we teamed up with tyre specialists Pirelli to find the right compound and structure. The outcome is a set of specifically developed 245/35R21 P Zero tyres, using Pirelli’s motorsport expertise to optimise road contact when pushing the limits of electric performance.
The performance software upgrade raises the motors’ combined output, to produce up to 350 kW (476 hp) of power and 680 Nm of torque. It features a launch control function that provides maximum power straight from a standstill.
With decades of competition experience, Italian brake manufacturer Brembo knows how to create the stopping power needed for a performance car. Already proven as part of the Polestar 2 Performance pack, the BST’s brakes are highly rigid and responsive at any temperature while reducing weight, wear, noise, and dust build-up.
To pair a higher powertrain output with a higher level of control, the BST edition 230 comes with a custom-fitted aluminium strut bar. It connects the front suspension mounts, enhancing steering stability at high speeds and making the car’s handling even more predictable.
