The Polestar 2 BST Edition 270 is a high-performance variant of the standard Polestar 2, featuring 476 horsepower, unique suspension tuning, and exclusive design elements.

Polestar is a Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer focused on producing high-performance, sustainable, and design-forward electric cars. Originally founded in 1996 as a performance brand associated with Volvo, Polestar became a standalone electric vehicle brand in 2017, under the joint ownership of **Volvo Car Group** and **Geely Holding Group**. Polestar is known for creating vehicles that blend Scandinavian minimalist design with cutting-edge electric technology, offering a premium EV experience without compromising on performance. The brand’s goal is to lead the industry in sustainability, luxury, and innovation, appealing to environmentally conscious drivers who also value style and performance.
Polestar’s first production model, the **Polestar 1**, was a plug-in hybrid sports car that showcased the brand’s design philosophy and performance capabilities. However, it was the **Polestar 2**—a fully electric fastback—that established the brand as a serious player in the electric vehicle market. With up to 300 miles of range, advanced driver-assistance systems, and Google’s Android Automotive OS integrated into the infotainment system, the Polestar 2 has received widespread acclaim for its balance of performance, technology, and sustainability. Polestar’s commitment to a sustainable future is further reflected in its use of innovative materials and processes, as the company strives to achieve full climate neutrality by 2040.
Polestar is actively expanding its electric lineup, with upcoming models like the **Polestar 3**, an electric SUV, and the **Polestar 5**, an electric grand tourer, which will continue to push the boundaries of performance and design. With a strong focus on sustainability, Polestar aims to be a leader in the luxury electric vehicle segment by producing cars that are not only environmentally responsible but also offer a thrilling driving experience. The brand is also working towards greater transparency by offering a Life Cycle Assessment on each vehicle to track its environmental impact, further solidifying its role as a pioneer in the future of automotive sustainability.
