These Euro-creations will be just the ticket Have you ever thought the Tesla Model X didn’t have enough visual drama… or perhaps the opposite, that it’s a hideous pustule on the face of the automotive world? Whichever way you lean, there’s now an antidote and it’s from an unlikely source: German exotic car tuner Novitec. The Californian-made EVs have been tweaked by the European tuner, which has switched from Lamborghinis and Ferraris to the latest car pinups, the Tesla Model X SUV and its Model S sedan sibling. Both cars features subtle bodywork extras that are claimed improved aerodynamics, comprising a front lip spoiler, side skirts and a rear diffusers all made from carbon-fibre. There’s also a two rear spoilers to choose from on the Model X. Lump in the lower ride height and some very cool 22-inch Vossens alloy wheels and the Model X begins to develop a touch of visual appeal. The Tesla Model S gets 21-inch alloy-wheels instead of the Model X’s larger hoops. The wheels have a neat trick too: The spokes are specially angled to channel air onto the brake discs, allegedly cooling the anchors. “Each individual wheel is manufactured for a specific corner of the car,” says Novitec. The stoppers are big too, 380mm brake rotors at the front with six-piston calipers, 360mm rears with four-piston calipers, which should decelerate the heavy EVs with more immediacy. But before you ask “Is there now an ‘absurd’ launch mode” for the modified American EVs, Novitec has only tweaked the cosmetics, ride height, wheel and brakes. Modifying the computer brain of the Tesla is probably not a priority because they’re faster to 100km/h than pretty much every other car you can buy. Novitec will also create bespoke interiors for customers who want to pour more money into their ultra-fast Tesla EV, with unlimited colours, materials and stitching available.
