Polestar – Polestar Concept BST: See it on our 2024 Concept Lawn
August 18, 2024
The Polestar Concept BST embodies the extreme spirit of performance of the design-led Swedish electric car brand.
It is an experimental exploration into Polestar’s performance, technology and design capabilities, the principles of which were set out by the original Polestar 2 EXP Concept first shown in 2021.
That vehicle started as a one-off skunk works project led by Polestar’s Head of Chassis Development, Joakim Rydholm, but quickly became something of a passion project for CEO Thomas Ingenlath. And it was that passion that led to the Polestar Concept BST, which pushes the boundaries for the brand—and electric sports cars in general—to the extreme.
Taking the Polestar 6 Concept as inspiration, the Concept BST is wrapped in bespoke bodywork, finished in a classic motorsport silver with flared fenders flowing over the wide muscular track highlighted by the 22-inch forged alloy wheels. An aerodynamically optimized hood with its unique vented design is framed by an aggressive front splitter that flows into the racing-inspired sills and diffuser to the rear. Above that rear diffuser hangs a purposeful rear wing, which alongside the bespoke racing-livery inspired graphics sets off the exciting exterior of the Polestar Concept BST.
In summary: the most extreme Polestar yet.
