Introduction:
When Tesla designed the Model 3, their focus was on optimizing manufacturing efficiency while still delivering a nimble and fun driving experience. Through some hardware updates, they were able to create the Model 3 Performance, which provided accessibility, excitement, and versatility both in a straight line and through corners. Now, six years after the initial Model 3 Performance deliveries, Tesla has introduced a new and highly differentiated version that promises an even more focused driver experience with unique attributes and design elements.
Our most powerful and dynamic Model 3 yet
The latest generation Model 3 Performance boasts over 460 system horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 100 kph in just 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 262 kph. With new staggered, forged aluminum 20” wheels and summer performance tires, the new Model 3 Performance offers sharper turn-in response, improved predictability, and increased traction on both road and track surfaces. The adaptive damping technology, controlled by Tesla’s in-house software, enhances the handling performance without sacrificing everyday usability.
Upgraded chassis, high-performance brakes and Track Mode
Significant updates have been made to the chassis hardware to match the increased performance of the drive systems and suspension. Increased structural stiffness, updated springs, stabilizer bars, and bushings provide a chassis that is more performance-capable and highly responsive to driver inputs. The track-ready brakes now come standard with high-performance brake pads for immediate deceleration and higher thermal limits, with red brake calipers adding a sporty touch. The latest generation Track Mode integrates adaptive suspension controls with a performance-optimized powertrain that allows for customization of handling balance, stability controls, and regenerative braking.
Bespoke design, a Tesla-first
Model 3 Performance receives a distinctive design with new front and rear fascias that offer aggressive styling, aerodynamics, and integrated cooling ducts. The rear diffuser and carbon-fiber spoiler work together to optimize lift balance and high-speed stability. Inside, new Sport seats feature enhanced side cushion and bolster for more lateral support during dynamic driving, along with heating and ventilation options. The carbon-fiber trim with a unique weave pattern sets the Model 3 Performance apart within the lineup.
