Tesla Model 3 Performance arrives in Portugal with 460 hp

Tesla continues to seek to captivate the market with new generation models, namely the new Tesla Model 3 Performance, a model that Elon Musk’s brand presents with the ability to go faster, maximizing control in a Tesla capable of delivering 460 horsepower. of power.

Equipped with the latest generation Performance engine — the most powerful ever installed in the Model 3, allowing it to reach 0-100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds — this new Tesla Model 3 offers ultra-responsive and particularly smooth driving, with the new adaptive shock absorber system, which keeps the Model 3 planted on curves or bumps.

The ventilated sports seats have improved supports to keep the driver in a perfect, comfortable driving position and in their seat, in a model that offers, among other new features, an updated Track Mode, capable of customizing the balance of maneuverability, stability controls and regenerative braking through an updated user interface.

In this way, Tesla challenges its potential customers with this new model so that they can explore exclusive performance features, namely a new adaptive shock absorber system that promises to keep the Model 3 Performance firmly on the road, so that it can face, with confidence, curves at any speed with maximum control and comfort.

Still regarding the renewed Track Mode, it claims the ability to calibrate the adaptive controls of the suspension, chassis and powertrain to provide more control behind the wheel. When driving on the track, the driver will be able to customize the balance, stability control and regenerative braking precisely to their liking.

Equipped with advanced aerodynamics, with the front and rear panels, but also the rear diffuser and carbon fiber spoiler working together to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve lift balance at high speeds, this new Tesla Model 3 Performance It comes equipped with forged Performance rims, allowing for light, staggered wheels capable of providing a more precise cornering response and greater traction when exiting curves, while also being optimized for greater autonomy and comfort.

And because greater dynamic capacity also requires specific care in terms of brakes, Tesla offers Performance brakes, in which larger rotors, calipers and pads develop more braking power and consistent braking at all speeds.

For the Performance chassis, Performance springs, shock absorbers, bushings and stabilizer bars provide a more capable chassis with maximum ride comfort.

Then, ventilated sports seats, equipped with improved reinforcement and a deeper and more involving driving position, promise a comfortable position on board a model in which even the decoration received particular care, with a light carbon fiber decoration and a pattern of exquisite fabric, exclusive to the Model 3 Performance.

It should be noted that this model will be available in three variants, namely the Performance version, with a range of 528 km (WLTP), all-wheel drive and an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, as well as the Long Range version with 629 km of autonomy (WLTP) and an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, and, finally, a rear-wheel drive version, with a autonomy of 513 km (WLTP) and clearly slower, with a acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds (WLTP).
