Polestar is once again pushing the envelope with its latest reveal at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Amidst the buzz surrounding the updated Polestar 2 sedan and the new Polestar 3 and 4 crossovers, the spotlight is firmly on the Polestar Concept BST—a striking glimpse into the future of high-performance electric sports cars.
The Concept BST is a head-turner, drawing inspiration from the Polestar O2 concept of 2022, which is set to evolve into the production Polestar 6 convertible. This latest iteration amps up the visual excitement with flared wheel arches, a bold front end, and an impressive rear wing. The car's aggressive stance is complemented by 22-inch wheels and a distinctive BST livery that stands out against its sleek silver paint.
While details on the powertrain remain under wraps, the Concept BST promises thrilling performance. Given that the production Polestar 6 will deliver a robust 884 horsepower and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, the BST variant could push the envelope even further. Rumors suggest it could boast up to 1,000 horsepower and achieve a 0-60 mph time of under three seconds—making it a formidable contender in the high-performance electric arena.
The Polestar 6, which will debut as a limited edition with only 500 units in its first year, is slated to make its inaugural appearance on the Goodwood hill climb this year. Built on the new Polestar Performance Architecture (PPA), which will also underpin the upcoming Polestar 5 sedan, the Polestar 6 is anticipated to set a new benchmark in electric sports car performance.
Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath has assured that the stunning Polestar 6 will remain in production as long as there's demand. The final production version is expected to be revealed in 2025, and enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the possibility of a high-performance BST variant making its debut alongside it.
As Polestar continues to innovate and push boundaries, the Concept BST is a tantalizing preview of what's to come—setting the stage for a new era of electric performance that promises to be both exhilarating and iconic.
