Meet the ‘Dark Knight’—a Brooding, Souped-up Tesla Model S
The US$104,990 three-motor 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid Edition is among the fastest cars in the world, able to reach 60 miles per hour in just two seconds. It puts out 1,020 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque.
The powertrain stays the same, but the car gets a 19-piece carbon fiber widebody kit that allows it to wear big 21-inch, lightweight forged wheels. Airflow is improved with “bargeboard” bodywork in front of the front wheels, a technique adapted from Formula One. Also directing air is the company’s Autobahn front carbon-fiber diffuser. The car meets the world with a sinister satin-black finish, featuring more exposed carbon fiber.
The interior was designed in collaboration with von Holzhausen, a company created by Vicki von Holzhausen that specializes in vegan leather products, including handbags. The tough-wearing interior fabric is in Serrano red and made from bamboo. Sangerman emphasizes that the Dark Knight is a bespoke product, and that the customer has a wide choice in the interior colors and fabrics. “We want customers to be very hands-on in the process,” he said. “If you tell us you like the interior shade in a specific Rolls-Royce, we can match it. Our parts catalog is pretty extensive.”
