Tesla: Model 3 spiced up 🎥
EFFICIENT PRODUCTION Tesla has made the Model 3 electric saloon into the fun-to-drive Model 3 Performance sports car with a number of hardware updates. The new variant is designed to thrill both on the straights and in the bends.
Six years after the delivery of the first Model 3 Performance, Tesla has now launched a new high-performance product. The new Model 3 Performance provides an even more intense driving experience. The latest-generation Performance drive delivers a system output of 338 kW (460 hp), accelerates the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 262 km/h. This additional power is transferred to the road via forged 20-inch aluminum wheels. A sharper steering response and better traction out of corners have also been achieved.
Improved chassis
Also new in the Model 3 Performance is the adaptive damping technology, which is controlled entirely by the in-house software and integrated into the Tesla Vehicle Dynamics Controller. This system enables the best driving performance without compromising suitability for everyday use. The new model's driving dynamics are also enhanced by the increased structural rigidity and the revised springs, stabilizers and bushings. The track-ready brakes are now fitted with high-performance pads as standard, offering faster deceleration and higher thermal limits. The Model 3 Performance is equipped with red brake calipers.
New track mode
The latest generation of Track mode combines adaptive chassis control with the fast-responding drivetrain. When the mode is activated, the handling, stability control and braking system can be adjusted via a completely new user interface. All of these changes provide a driving experience that now executes the driver's commands even more precisely.
The Model 3 Performance also has an unmistakable design. The new front and rear panels with diffuser and spoiler made of carbon fiber ensure better aerodynamics. The new sports seats are now even better shaped and upholstered. The Model 3 Performance is available in Switzerland from CHF 56,990. Deliveries will begin in the second quarter.
