Polestar 2 Performance Edition

The Polestar 2 Performance Edition reaches 60 mph in 4.03 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.63 s, tripping the lights at 109.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.95 s and the eighth mile in 8.10 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.44 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 2 Performance Edition

The 2023 Polestar 2 Performance Edition is an all-wheel-drive electric saloon of 2,138 kg with 469 bhp, which works out at 220 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 1.95 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 109.3 mph. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 807th quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 4 Polestars here. It leaves better than it pulls: 109.3 mph at the lights is only the 1,064th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Polestar 2 Performance Edition is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
