Think you've seen it all? Check out the Polestar 2 BST 270 at Ascari

Polestar’s chief test engineer has taken the wheel of the Polestar 2 BST 270 at the Ascari circuit in Ronda to show everything this all-electric model can do on a race track. A few months ago, Polestar launched the BST 270 special edition.

This Polestar is based on the 2023 Polestar 2 and is limited to 270 units worldwide. With so few units allocated for global production, only a handful of drivers will be able to enjoy this electric car with 476 CV of power. Joakim Rydholm reveals all the secrets of the Polestar 2, including its adjustable Ohlins dampers and Pirelli P Zero tyres.

It’s worth noting that the Polestar 2 BST 270 sits 22 mm lower than a standard Polestar 2 and features a suspension that is 20% stiffer for greater performance on the track.

Like the standard model, the Polestar 2 BST 270 uses two electric motors that deliver power to all four wheels. The dual-motor Polestar 2 produces 413 CV, but a recent OTA update lets drivers raise the output to the special edition’s 482 CV.

The BST 270 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. With a 78 kWh battery, the Polestar 2 can travel 418 kilometres on a single charge in the dual-motor configuration. Just watching the video makes you want to push the Polestar 2 BST 270 a little harder through the corners of the Ascari track. The bad news? The Polestar special edition is sold out.

In the video, you can also see the brand’s engineers testing the car for the Ronda circuit, setting the dampers to their stiffest configuration. It’s worth noting that the Polestar 2 BST 270 allows front suspension adjustment via the knobs located under the bonnet.
