Polestar 2 BST Edition 270 here is the sports version of the electric sedan

The new Polestar 2 BST Edition 270 is a special series that brings a sportier touch to this electric sedan produced by the Volvo subsidiary. To make this model more “sprint”, Polestar has modified some aspects of its mechanics and improved its design.

Inevitably, the manufacturer first put his hand to the engine of the “conventional” Polestar 2. The two electric motors have been reworked to develop a total power of 476 hp (350 kW) for 680 Nm of torque, compared to 408 hp (300 kW) for 660 Nm of torque for the base model. Polestar also explains that it has increased the responsiveness of the car, which therefore adopts a sportier behavior.

The car can be painted con i colori Thunder o Snow and the interior adopts the Charcoal WeaveTech shade. Finally, some details are available in the coloring Swedish Goldsuch as brake calipers, valve caps, and seat belts.
