Tesla Model 3 Performance with new carbon fiber aero kit

Over time, some tuners have specialized in vehicles from one manufacturer, and Unplugged Performance specializes in Tesla cars. One of the projects of this American company is Project Highland, a carbon fiber aero kit for the Tesla Model 3 Performance.

Tesla Model 3 Performance was revealed in April as the perfect high-performance car for everyday driving. It is equipped with a more capable performance-oriented chassis, but also components that reduce mass and increase stiffness at the same time, new sports bumpers, a new front splitter and an aggressive diffuser, which improves the aerodynamics of the car. However, Unplugged Performance went further and added a carbon lip spoiler, wings, aerodynamic deflectors and the lower part of the diffuser, all made of carbon.

The carbon fiber aero kit also includes side skirts, rear bumper detailing, a diffuser and a fixed rear wing that can be had in a satin or gloss finish. All the listed components create an additional 193 kilograms of downforce.

Customers can also choose carbon-ceramic brakes, several different types of suspension, front and rear limited-slip differentials, new stabilizer bars, adjustable upper suspension arms and braided brake system hoses. The total price of the carbon fiber aero kit is $19,995.

When it comes to the powertrain, nothing has been changed. The car is powered by two electric motors with 517 hp (386 kW) and 547 lb-ft (741 Nm) of torque. This allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.9 seconds with a speed of 163 mph (262 km/h). It is equipped with AWD and a battery that provides a range of 476 km on a single charge.
