Brabus Begins Tesla Model S Tunes With Cosmetic Surgery
BRABUS and its Zero Emission business division have been concentrating on alternative powertrains for about a decade.

Finally, however, Brabus has taken a stab at modifying the Model S. It’s made the Tesla a bit more “Ludicrous”… but not in the way you’re likely thinking.
BRABUS dcelebrates the world premiere of the Tesla S customized by BRABUS ZERO EMISSION at the IAA 2015 in Frankfurt am Main.
Inside you’ll find numerous upholstery options in leather, Alcantara or suede, with dash and seat colour choices to match.
The Zero Emissions packages includes tailor made carbon fiber aerodynamic components developed in a wind tunnel using state-of-the-art 3D scanning and CAD technology.
There’s also a carbon front spoiler lip now, which reduces lift on the front end at high speeds, useful when the P85D can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in less than 3 seconds. By Brabus standards, its Model S upgrades are relatively subtle yet still provide the car with an all-the-more impressive look.
“The rims of size 9Jx21 at all four corners make optimal use of the available space under the wheel arches”, Brabus said. 255/35 tyres at the front, and 265/35 at the rear; choose from Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama high-performance rubber.
For now its just styling-based, but the German tuner promises the customization options will be “expanded continuously”. The newly developed Brabus center console adds storage options for keys and similar items. Brabus’ Model S even has cup holders that can be set to cool or heat beverages placed in it. There is also a wireless smartphone charger in the console.
The inside received a few small improvements as well, including the kick-plates getting replaced with stainless steel panels that feature white and blue LED backlighting.
Best known for tuning Mercedes and Bentleys, Brabus didn’t mention any performance upgrades to the Model S sedan.
