Car Design News covers the Polestar Concept BST at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024
First off, Car Design News is calling for a moratorium on all Spinal Tap references when describing extreme versions of production cars…from this article onwards. You see, although the Polestar Concept BST (read Beast) fits all too neatly into the aforementioned, the phrase has passed into the realms of cliche. And with that, the new Polestar Concept BST takes the design language and performance of the Polestar 6, planned for launch in 2026, and turns it up to 11.
Quite rightly unveiled at Goodwood Festival of Speed, the concept confirms the promise from CEO Thomas Inglelath earlier this year that more high-performance models were on the way. Indeed, it was design director Maximilan Missoni who underlined that was the raison d’etre of the Swedish EV brand shortly after scooping the CDR X Production Car of the Year award in 2023.
