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.

Unplugged Performance 首席执行官 Ben Schaffer 表达了他对最新款 S-APEX 的兴奋之情，他表示：“借助 Dark Knight，我们着手打造终极日常驾驶超级跑车。它展示了我们致力于突破特斯拉能力界限的承诺，并引起了那些重视速度和环保意识的爱好者的共鸣。它拥有超级跑车级别的存在感和动力，结合了家用轿车的多功能性，是我体验过的最好的全能型汽车。”

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. 座椅、门板、控制台和仪表板采用醒目的塞拉诺红色 Banbū 素食皮革，体现了 Unplugged Performance 对环保奢华的承诺。

Unplugged Performance 的 Model S-APEX Dark Knight 强化了他们迎合特斯拉爱好者的使命，提供无与伦比的动力，将动力、可持续性和个性融为一体。通过重塑设计和工程基准，Unplugged Performance 重申了他们作为特斯拉升级先驱的角色。对于那些渴望重新定义特斯拉之旅的人，可以通过他们的整车计划订购 Unplugged Performance 的 Model S-APEX，该计划从全面的咨询会议开始，以确保实现个性化的结果。
