Tesla-Tuner Unplugged Performance Reveals ‘Dark Knight’, A Carbon-Widebody Model S Plaid

 

Unplugged Performance, renowned for pioneering high-performance Tesla upgrades, proudly reveals ‘Dark Knight’, the latest Model S-APEX Plaid from their “Complete Vehicle” program, a program that offers bespoke Tesla vehicles tailored to individual preferences and style. With options ranging from exterior colors, interior materials, suspension setups and special features, each car is transformed into a high-performance, high-luxury experience.

As a true testament to innovation and relentless pursuit of excellence, the S-APEX is a culmination of cutting-edge technology and performance enhancements, setting new standards for the high-performance electric vehicle industry. S-APEX builds start life as a Tesla Model S Plaid and enhance form and function through extensive aerodynamic, braking, suspension and luxury modifications to bring a comprehensive hypercar-like experience to the Plaid’s 1,020 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque hypercar-like powertrain.

언플러그드 퍼포먼스의 CEO인 벤 샤퍼는 "다크 나이트를 통해 우리는 매일 운전할 수 있는 궁극의 슈퍼카를 만들기 위해 노력했습니다."라며 최신 S-APEX에 대한 기대감을 드러냈습니다. 이 차는 Tesla가 가진 능력의 한계를 뛰어넘기 위한 우리의 노력을 보여주며, 순수한 속도와 환경 의식을 모두 중시하는 마니아들의 공감을 불러일으킬 것입니다. 슈퍼카 수준의 존재감과 파워, 그리고 패밀리 세단의 다재다능함이 결합된 이 차는 제가 경험한 최고의 올인원 자동차입니다."

As with all S-APEX cars, the highlight of Dark Knight’s exterior lies in the extensive carbon fiber features that bring an aggressive stance and allow for wider tires to maximize on-road and on-track performance. Unplugged Performance has redefined the limits of design and engineering by seamlessly integrating a 19-piece prepreg carbon fiber widebody kit that increases the width of the vehicle by 60mm and house 21” lightweight UP-03 forged monoblock wheels. The carbon fiber rocker panels include an integrated aerodynamic bargeboard aft the front wheels to improve aerodynamic airflow.

Unplugged Performance partnered with Koenigsegg Advanced Manufacturing to manage rear end downforce with a carbon fiber rear longtail spoiler made on the same production line as the carbon fiber parts on Koenigsegg’s hypercars. Balancing downforce and effectively reducing lift at the front end of Dark Knight is an Unplugged Performance Autobahn front carbon fiber diffuser, a first for an S-APEX build. Wrapping up the build is a sleek satin black finish exterior with exposed bits of its carbon fiber body.

 

Pairing the Model S-APEX driving experience to the hypercar speed of the Plaid comes in the form of improved suspension and braking components. Increasing grip and cornering speeds comes from the inclusion of a variety of Unplugged Performance suspension parts including their Sports Dynamic Lowering kit, adjustable rear sway bar, and an extensive list of billet aluminum adjustable control arms that increase strength and allow for precise alignment adjustments to front and rear toe, camber and caster. Stopping Dark Knight comes from Unplugged Performance carbon ceramic brakes at all four corners, and another first for an S-APEX, a carbon fiber brake cooling duct system that includes sleek block-off plates for non-spirited driving.

Inside Dark Knight, luxury meets sustainability with a custom interior designed through a unique and exclusive collaboration with von Holzhausen. 시트, 도어 패널, 콘솔, 대시보드에 강렬한 세라노 레드 컬러의 반부 비건 가죽을 사용한 이 차량은 친환경 럭셔리를 추구하는 언플러그드 퍼포먼스의 노력을 잘 보여줍니다.

언플러그드 퍼포먼스의 모델 S-APEX 다크 나이트는 파워, 지속 가능성, 개성을 결합한 독보적인 드라이빙을 제공함으로써 Tesla 매니아를 만족시키겠다는 그들의 사명을 강화합니다. 언플러그드 퍼포먼스는 설계 및 엔지니어링 벤치마크를 재구성함으로써 Tesla 업그레이드의 선구자로서의 역할을 재확인합니다. Tesla의 여정을 새롭게 정의하고자 하는 분들을 위해, 언플러그드 퍼포먼스의 Model S-APEX는 종합적인 컨설팅 세션으로 시작되는 완성차 프로그램을 통해 주문할 수 있으며, 개인화라는 결과를 보장합니다.
