Polestar Concept BST previews high-performance electric roadster
POLESTAR is among the many brands adding excitement to the Goodwood Festival of Speed with its latest lineup of vehicles.
In addition to production cars such as the Polestar 2, 3, and 4, the brand is also showcasing how far it can go when it comes to performance with the BST Concept.
The fully-electric roadster was developed based on the Polestar 6, but as you can see, it looks more far more ferocious thanks to a motorsport-inspired body kit.
The bodywork is further enhanced with a classic silver shade, muscular flared arches, extra wide track and 22-inch forged alloy wheels.
The aerodynamics are also emphasized through the vented bonnet, which is framed by an aggressive front splitter, as well as an extreme rear wing and bespoke racing-livery inspired graphics.
There are practically zero details regarding the powertrain, but rumours suggest the Concept BST could follow in the footsteps of the Polestar 6 by featuring a twin electric motor setup with 884 hp and 900 Nm.
If Polestar decides to put the BST Concept into production though, it could have significantly higher output, as seen in the Polestar 2 BST Edition 230 and 270.
The car it’s based on, the Polestar 6 will also make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It is built on the bespoke bonded aluminium Polestar Performance Architecture (PPA) platform, which is also used by the Polestar 5, a four-door electric sedan that will compete with Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW.
