Polestar is bringing a slew of production and concept cars to this weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and of them all, the all-new Polestar Concept BST is the most radical. It’s based on the upcoming Polestar 6 but has been adorned with a raft of bespoke parts to give it some motorsport-inspired flair, fitting for an event like Goodwood. It hints at a potential flagship version of the brand’s first convertible. Immediately distinguishing the Concept BST from the Polestar 6 that’ll launch in 2026 are the aggressive new aerodynamic components. These start up front where the Swedish EV maker has installed a slightly larger splitter and added more aggressive air curtains directly below the split headlights. Air extraction vents have also been fitted to the hood.
Polestar has also gone to the trouble of
designing more bulbous wheel arches for the car. And these aren’t simply some
add-on arches like those made famous by RWB. Instead, the front and rear
quarter panels have been completely redesigned to sit much wider than those of
the 6. The rear is perhaps the most
radical. A dramatic rear wing has been fitted with uprights stretching out from
behind the removable hard top. A bold new diffuser, 22-inch wheels, and unique
silver paint with ‘BST’ graphics round out the upgrades.
While speaking at the unveiling of the
model, Polestar chief executive Thomas Ingenlath said it is a model “turned up
to 11,” but didn’t confirm if it will spawn a production version. Joining the
Concept BST at Goodwood will be the brand’s current production models, the
Polestar 2, 3, and 4. The Polestar 6 Concept is also making its dynamic debut
at the event, speeding up the famous hillclimb.
