Day 1 is now complete which was a fairly small leg of 250 miles. We started at the Santa Monica Pier and made a swing through Orange County for the D1GP event. After leaving Orange County it was a straight dash up I-15 to Las Vegas, Nevada. We have some great photos of the Brabus Mercedes SL, purple Audi R8, the Bugatti’s and much much more!

First Custom Tesla Roadster from BRABUS

February 3rd, 2009

The first electric sports car is treated to it’s first aftermarket makeover from the company BRABUS. BRABUS asked the important question what a sports car is without a throaty V8 sounds coming out of it and solved the problem for Tesla owners alike. They developed what they call a “space sound generator” and inside the cockpit they can select several simulated engine sounds including a race car engine, combustion V8, and two futuristic sounds they call “beam” and “warp.” The sound is modualted by the power output of the electric motor.

An aggresively staggered 18 inch wheel in the front and 19 inch wheel back provides a strong stance for the revamped Tesla. Pirelli Tires brought in the P Zero Nero tire with a 215/35/18 in the front and a 255/30/19 in the rear. A custom matte white paint job really helps set off thie unique look to this BRABUS Tesla. From the front you can see a carbon-fiber lip and daytime running lights adding to the exterior.

BRABUS used carbon-fiber air inlets to put some more exotic flair to the electronic sports car. The rear which you can see above is noted by a BRABUS rear wing and a custom rear diffuser which are both carbon-fiber as well. I think the stormtropper has found a new machine to travel around town in saying goodbye to his Lotus and start enjoying this more stealth black and white vehicle. Hopefully more aftermarket companies will soon start modifying the Tesla.
