Vorsteiner, renowned for its high-end aftermarket enhancements, has ventured into the electric realm with the launch of its Tesla Model S Plaid Aero Program. Unveiled at the 2023 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, this program transforms the already impressive Tesla Model S Plaid into a sleek and stylish electric powerhouse.
Designed specifically for the 1,020-horsepower Plaid model, Vorsteiner’s Aero Program adds a touch of carbon fiber luxury to the electric sedan. The accompanying vehicle demonstrator showcased at SEMA not only features the new enhancements but also sports a striking purple hue that is absent from Tesla’s standard configurator.
Setting the stage for a visual spectacle are the three-piece forged VC-322 wheels from the ‘Contemporary’ series, priced at $12,980 per set. The wheels, with their unique design, provide a stunning contrast against the vivid purple exterior and carbon fiber elements.
Turning attention to the Aero Program itself, the list of upgrades is comprehensive. For a truly “sleek, stylish, sustainable” transformation, enthusiasts can opt for the VRS carbon fiber aero hood ($4,695), VRS decklid carbon fiber spoiler ($1,295), VRS carbon fiber rear diffuser ($3,695), side skirts ($2,695), add-on aero fenders ($1,695), add-on bumper flares ($995), and front carbon fiber spoiler ($2,295). The grand total for this aerodynamic makeover comes to $17,365.
When combined with the custom wheels, the total investment in upgrading the Tesla Model S Plaid through Vorsteiner’s offerings reaches a hefty $30,345. While the cost may raise eyebrows, the result is undeniably captivating – a purple and carbon fiber-clad Tesla that exudes both performance and style.
The allure of this modified Model S Plaid goes beyond aesthetics. It challenges preconceptions about electric vehicles, inviting even staunch internal combustion engine enthusiasts to reconsider their stance. The prospect of seeing this upgraded Tesla face off against traditional supercars or the high-end Lucid Air Sapphire on a quarter-mile dragstrip adds an exciting dimension to the electric car narrative.
Vorsteiner’s foray into enhancing Tesla’s flagship sedan reaffirms the growing trend of aftermarket companies recognizing the potential of electric vehicles. As electric performance continues to evolve, collaborations like this demonstrate that the allure of customization and individuality is not exclusive to traditional combustion engine enthusiasts. The purple and carbon fiber Tesla Model S Plaid stands as a testament to the marriage of cutting-edge technology and timeless automotive craftsmanship.
