Tesla Roadster Tunes in to BRABUS: First Modified Electric Car

BRABUS Tesla Roadster ESSEN MotorshoThe first modified electric car comes from BRABUS - or at least that's what the German firm that specialized until now on Mercedes-Benz and Smart models, supports in its press release. For its first take on an all-electric vehicle, BRABUS limited modifications to the Tesla Roaster's interior/exterior styling and wheel/tire options.

BRABUS claims that the volume of the sound depends on the momentary power output of the electric motor.
For the Roadster's appearance, the German tuning firm offers a new 'matte white' paintjob combined with a mild bodykit that includes a carbon-fiber front lip, daytime running lights integrated into the front grille and carbon-fiber air inlets. In the rear there's a rear wing and a rear diffuser, both made from carbon fiber while the round taillights are accentuated by matte-white applications.
The exterior package is complemented by the new BRABUS Monoblock S light-alloy wheels in size 7Jx18'' in front and 8.5Jx19'' in back wrapped around Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tires in size 215/35 ZR 18 in front and in size 255/30 ZR 19 on the rear axle. According to Brabus, the tires were developed to deliver minimum rolling resistance.
Inside the cabin modifications include new scuff plates, two-tone color sports seats in perforated lightweight leather and Alcantara. The cockpit also features white seams while the vehicle floor is upholstered with lightweight leather.
The BRABUS-prepped Tesla Roadster will make its world debut at the ESSEN motorshow in Germany on the 29th of November.
