Six years after its debut on the market, here is the new one Tesla Model 3 Performance, the most powerful version of the American brand's sedan which follows the renewal of the range with an evolution in the name of performance. The name remains unchanged after the possibility of the arrival of the Plaid suffix was discussed but many small details change which make the Model 3 Performance 2024 the worthy heir of the previous version.
Design and interiors
The first stylistic updates concern the front and rear bumpers which have been revisited, with the addition of the new diffuser and carbon fiber spoiler. All elements that contribute to maximizing performance and stability. The 20″ wheels have also been renewed and have a new design aimed at better dissipating heat. The interiors, however, have been renewed following the stylistic features introduced by the new Model 3, with the 15.4″ central display and the additional 8″ display for the rear passengers. However, in addition to these elements on the new Tesla Model 3 Performance there are also specific Sport bucket seats with improved side padding and side bolsters, which provide greater lateral support when cornering and during dynamic driving and are also heated and ventilated. The dashboard is then embellished with carbon fiber elements with an exclusive woven pattern. A little nerdy touch then outside the cockpit where the distinctive badge appears which recalls the 1987 film Spaceballs by Mel Brooks, a parody of Star Wars.
Tesla Model 3 Performance engine and performance
The powertrain of the new Tesla Model 3 Performance offers 460 HP of total power, which allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds and a maximum speed of 262 km/h. The autonomy however is 528 km. Adaptive damping technology is brand new to Model 3 Performance and is entirely controlled through Tesla's internally developed software and integrated into the VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Controller). This new generation system guarantees maximum maneuverability without sacrificing comfort in daily use.
Technical changes
Some new features have also been introduced regarding the chassis, with greater structural rigidity, springs, stabilizer bars and updated bushings to maximize the performance of the chassis which is also more responsive to driver inputs. The braking system is also new, high performance as standard which offers improved braking capabilities and greater thermal limits and durability. The brake calipers are red. The latest-generation Track mode now integrates adaptive suspension controls with a performance-optimized powertrain that responds instantly to driver inputs for absolute control. Once activated, you can customize the handling balance, stability controls and regenerative braking via the new user interface.
Price
The new Tesla Model 3 Performance will be available in the coming weeks, with the American brand inviting you to follow the updates on the Design Studio for accurate delivery times. The price starts from 55,990 euros.
