The first tuned electric car comes with Brabus Tesla Roadster: The first project of the future cooperation between Tesla Motors, Inc. and the new Brabus business division Zero Emission celebrates its world debut at the 2008 Essen Motor Show. Brabus presents an exclusive customization program for the Tesla Roadster, with the goal of defining a potential limited edition and an individual tuning program for the Tesla driver.
To give the sports car a more exciting sound, Brabus electronics specialists have developed a 'space sound generator.' The occupants onboard the Brabus Tesla Roadsters can choose from several simulated engine sounds including that of a typical V8 combustion engine, a racecar engine and two futuristic soundscapes named 'Beam' and 'Warp.' The volume of the sound is dependent on the momentary power output of the electric motor.
This two-seater is also refined with a custom-tailored Brabus tire/wheel combination to further improve handling characteristics. The two-seater comes fitted with weight-optimized Brabus Monoblock S light-alloy wheels in size 7Jx18 in front and in size 8.5Jx19 in back, along with Pirelli P Zero Nero high-performance tires in size 215/35 ZR 18 in front and size 255/30 ZR 19 on the rear axle, developed to deliver minimum rolling resistance.
The two-seater also receives an even more striking exterior at Brabus. The customization measures include a special high-quality 'matte white' paintjob. To give the mid-engine sports car an even more enticing face the Brabus designers treat the front apron to a lightweight carbon-fiber front lip and daytime running lights integrated into the front grille. Matte-white surrounds for the headlamps add interesting detail to the overall effect. The sides of the Tesla are upgraded with Brabus entrance lights shaped like futuristic space lights, and Brabus carbon-fiber air inlets add even more sporty flair. At the rear, the Tesla is fitted with a Brabus rear wing and a Brabus rear diffuser, both made from lightweight yet extremely strong carbon-fiber. The round taillights are further accentuated with matte-white applications.
The Brabus customization program for the Tesla Roadster also includes exclusive interior options. The range of products starts with scuff plates with illuminated Brabus logo which are integrated into the top of the rocker panels. For added exclusivity, the Brabus upholstery shop handcrafts exquisite custom interiors out of a combination of especially soft yet durable Brabus perforated lightweight leather and Alcantara, with white seams to match the exterior color. The vehicle floor is also upholstered with lightweight leather.
The new Brabus logo with added lightning bolt is the trademark of Brabus Zero Emission vehicles.
