If a standard Polestar 2 isn’t dynamic enough for you, the Swedish brand will gladly sell you a Performance Package that’s meant to enhance your driving experience.
It consists of a bespoke Brembo braking system with manually adjustable Ohlins dual flow valve dampers, lightweight forged 20-inch alloy wheels, while the “Swedish” gold brake calipers, valve caps and seat belts complete the look.
All these options are available at launch, across all launch markets. While exact pricing varies depending on where you live, the Performance Package should set you back roughly 6,000 euros ($6,767).

The Pack’s 20-inch wheels are 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) lighter than the optional 20-inch ones (comes standard with 19″), and are wrapped in Continental SportContact 245/40 R20 rubber front and rear.
Meanwhile, the braking system utilizes low drag technology that keeps the pads from dragging on the brake disc, while also reducing noise and rolling resistance. The Brembo calipers were built to optimize battery regeneration in order to assist with range – all this aside from doing their main job, which is to offer improved braking performance.
As for the Ohlins dual flow valve dampers (DFV), they’re meant to help increase control and adaptability to the road, utilizing a design that “allows oil inside the damper to travel through two different paths depending on the input speed of the suspension.”
“For low speed damper movements, where the shaft is moving slowly, an adjustable needle controls the oil flow and the damper’s response. At higher speeds, where the shaft moves more quickly and in a greater range, a shimmed piston valve stack alters the flow for optimised responses. Any sudden suspension impacts and road surface roughness are controlled by the DFV system.”
The damping system provided to you by the Polestar 2’s Performance Package is manually adjustable through 22 different settings, unlike the regular three settings you’d find on most other vehicles (comfort, normal and sport).
