This happens to be the same technology that also produces the wheels for Ferrari’s F430 Challenge. Apparently, the secret sauce behind it all is the BBS flow-form manufacturing process that allows them to produce extremely lightweight yet strong 2-piece wheels. Well, for starters, it’s damn strong it looks the part and it has titanium.Īside from its stunningly good looks, the Tesla Model S BSS wheel by Unplugged was designed to bring the best of both worlds – performance and durability without sacrificing ride quality. So, what’s special about Unplugged’s UP-01 wheel? “Great brands require world class engineering partners and for our first wheel, the UP-01, we have followed the same path as Ferrari, Porsche and BMW in selecting BBS as our wheel supplier and partner,”. “The long term vision for Unplugged Performance is to fill the role as the AMG equivalent for Tesla owners”, says Ben Schaffer, CEO of Unplugged Performance. Given Unplugged’s no compromises approach and drive for innovation, it doesn’t come as a surprise that they would choose BBS to co-develop the new UP-01 with. In case you’ve been living under a rock, BBS is most widely recognized for its racing heritage having produced wheels for the likes of … ahem, Michael Schumacher who won four of his Formula 1 Championships on BBS wheels, but also a staple of high-end and light alloy consumer aftermarket wheels. And because there is no point in spending this kind of money without anybody knowing, Unplugged Performance offer the carbon wheels for $14,995.Just a short couple of months after Unplugged Performance – the world’s first Tesla exclusive tuning company – unveiled its own in-house developed Model S body kit, a new announcement comes that they have partnered with BBS Germany to produce a sleek and performance-ready Tesla Model S BBS wheel upgrade for called the UP-01. This can be combined with a lowering module for the air suspension, for an additional $495. The kit consists of brake discs, calipers, and steel braided lines and costs $8,995.Ĭornering is just as important as braking, so a rear axle stabilizer is an easy decision, especially for a measly $395. The fastest production car in the world needs this set in order to stop reliably regardless of the situation. It is true that electric cars use regenerative braking mostly, but this is not the case with a performance sedan. In case you opted for parts and are serious about performance, your first stop is the carbon-ceramic brake set for the front axle. This sells under the name of Model S-Apex, and includes, beyond chassis and aerodynamics, a wide body kit to impress your friends and neighbors. Or for a complete car, although that will set you back $249,995, almost twice the price of the original model. So, if you want your Tesla Model S Plaid to be even wilder than it already is, this is the place to look for parts to improve its performance. Yet, somehow, there is always someone who needs more power, or more composed dynamics, and that’s we have so many companies trying to push the boundaries of sportiness, even for accomplished sports cars.įor Tesla, the go-to tuner is Unplugged Performance, the company that is behind Tesla’s success at Pikes Peak this year. The Model S Plaid is also no stranger from difficult racing circuits, like Nürburgring, an achievement that not many cars can count in their favor. The three high-performance electric motors can deliver 1,020 HP in total, enough to propel the electric cannonball on wheels to a maximum speed of 200 mph (322 kph). ![]() For $123,740, you buy a car that can do the 0-60 mph (97 kph) in 1.99 seconds, easily the quickest accelerating car in production today. The Tesla Model S Plaid is, for now, the top-of-the-range model in Tesla’s lineup. ![]()
