POLESTAR 6 PREVIEWED IN BST MODE, TESLA MODEL 3 RWD LR RETURNS BUT ROBOTAXI EVENT REPORTEDLY DELAYED

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 6 Concept BST, previewed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, is presented as a higher-performance version of the upcoming electric roadster. While it shares the PPA platform and an 800-volt powertrain with the Polestar 5, producing 884 horsepower, the "BST" designation (for Beast) doesn't appear to translate to significantly higher power output compared to other variants, nor does it surpass the performance of much less expensive EVs like the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Despite this, the concept boasts striking bodywork tweaks, including larger wheel arches, a prominent rear wing, and 22-inch wheels. The reviewer acknowledges that numbers don't tell the whole story and praises the Polestar's unique character and cool factor, drawing parallels to their own positive experience with a Polestar 2. The vehicle is slated for public release in 2026, with a projected price point comparable to high-end performance EVs.
