Model 3 Highland Performance/Ludicrous Spotted

[Temper Tantrum]

Has a 'Ludicrous' badge on the back. New rear spoiler, front spoiler, looks lower, new wheels, different brake set up, sports seats, and I'd guess at a 0 -60 of around 2.5 ish seconds.

I'll be all over this when it comes out. Although not sold on the wheels but i'd imagine there will be options on purchase.

Too large for USS ?

Wheels have aero covers on them so could always pull off if you don’t like. Be the leaked warp wheel design underneath.

Yes, but a perfect size for a tow hook mounting point cover.

"Speculation". Can't tell from that video, that's for sure.
Rear towing eye and better seats are a welcome addition for those of us who like to compete!

Honestly, I curbed the heck out of my M3LR 18”s but haven’t so much as dinged the staggered 21”s on the MYP I upgraded to, so it isn’t necessarily worse.

Hopefully the car will standout a bit more than the lesser Model 3s, that's my current complaint with my M3P, particularly when there was a 10K difference when i bought mine

Love that red

I like the idea that it’s the understated hypercar of the range

You need more than supercar acceleration to be a hypercar.

You need more than supercar acceleration to be a hypercar.

We still don’t know what the new P will include...perhaps some very nice suspension for going around corners. It’s probably already more comfortable and luxurious than most super/hyper cars

 

[MrBadger]

It still won’t be a hypercar.

 

[Bouba]

It still won’t be a hypercar.

If the missing ingredient is exclusivity...then order a new shape P and a Lamborghini...and see which arrives firsts

 

[Durzel]

Bit of a semantics debate but hypercars are bonkers, this won't be. It is too "safe".

I'm not sure you can call a mass produced car a hypercar.

I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to stuff like this though. A Ferrari 355 is a supercar, even if it's slower than a lot of cars nowadays. A Tesla Model 3 is not a supercar, but it has supercar like acceleration.

For me theatre is a big part of whether something is a supercar or hypercar. Supercars give you butterflies in your stomach when you open the garage door, when they're just sat there.

I happen to live on a street where 75% of my neighbors are in mid- life crisis mode. The guy to my left he as a 5 car garage with lifts. He has a Lambo, ZO6, Audi R8, Corvette C8, Shelby Cobra, GTR, and some other custom vette.

Right across the street is a Ferrari 458 Italia.

Next to him is a Porsche Panorama and Porsche Carerra.

I don’t light up when seeing these cars as at 6’3” 295 lbs and bad knees I can’t get in and out of any of them

I can get in and out of my Model S Plaid. I can spank any of the others in the Qtr Mile and with my soon to be installed track pack can beat most on a track as evidenced by the new plaid record of 7 minutes and 25.231 seconds at Nürburgring race course in Germany.

Maybe not Supercar or Hypercar but the S plaid is in a class all of it’s own.

Well said !......by the way, you live in a good neighborhood

Looking like this though is probably cheaper/less disruptive on everyone's lives as a midlife crisis 'moment' versus trying to feel young by getting know someone half your age a little too well.........Divorce costs I hear makes even owning a Lambo seem cheap

Lots of leaked information and pictures now, we know it has:

New bucket seats
New Front Splitter
Ventilated Seats
New Rear Spoiler
630bhp according to latest leaks

Which would put it right around 2.7s - 2.9s 0-60 and 10.9s 1/4 Mile. No doubt they are targeting the X Drive M3 Performance.

Anyone got much interest in this vehicle? I was hoping for more power than 630bhp personally, feels like a small step up from the last gen Model 3 Performance. Would have been nice to go 700 - 800hp range for an everyday driver.

 

[jmaddr]

Very excited. I’ll wait for the initial price hike to inevitably come down, hopefully in time for the December end of quarter.

Do we know if they are still targeting £60k like the old model or will it be cheaper?
