Polestar 2 Performance Edition

The Polestar 2 Performance Edition reaches 60 mph in 4.03 s (100 km/h in 4.27 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,094th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 3rd quickest of the 4 Polestars here. Its 109.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Polestar 2 Performance Edition 0-60 time?
The Polestar 2 Performance Edition reaches 60 mph in 4.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,094th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Polestar 2 Performance Edition quarter mile time?
12.63 s at 109.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.10 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.95 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Polestar 2 Performance Edition have?
469 bhp and 2,138 kg, which is 220 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, electric, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 205 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Polestar 2 Performance Edition?
Closest here on pace: Audi S5 B10 (3.98 s), Bentley Continental GT 4.0 V8 S 528 (4.01 s), Bentley Continental GT 4.0 V8 529 (4.01 s). Each one can be raced against the Polestar 2 Performance Edition in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
