The German nutters at Brabus were the first to the scene with a tuned EV when they brought out the Brabus Tesla Roadster at the Essen Motor Show in 2008. Now they’re following up with a new package for the Roadster Sport, complete with pre-paid electrcity for at home or on-the-go charging.
That’s right, not only does the Brabus Green Package include a special appearance and weight-reduction treatment, it gets 30 000 km of free electricity in your home with the included RWE-Brabus quick-charge station and a free year of charging at all public RWE charging stations. Haven’t heard of RWE? Then you’re probably not in Germany, and this package won’t do you much good.
As for the modifications to the Roadster Sport, they’re confined to aesthetic and weight-cutting changes, including replacing the front fascia with a carbon fibre unit and adding a carbon fibre rear diffuser. Larger wheels with high-performance tyres enhance grip and performance without fiddling with the control electronics.
Under-floor “space lights” add a tunerific ambiance to the car, and custom colour and detail tweaks make it unique.
