Posted on Sep 3, 2023 0 Share Nobody questions the straight-line speed of the Tesla Model S Plaid. With its 1,020 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque, the Plaid is among the fastest road-going machines ever made. However, when it comes to handling performance—ya know, steering, turning, and braking—it can struggle due to its immense weight and relatively lackluster brakes. That’s where Unplugged Performance comes in, though, as its new S-Apex “Dark Knight” kit not only adds a ton of visual aggression but also some much needed handling capabilities. On the outside, the 19-piece pre-preg carbon fiber widebody kit increases its wheel track by 60mm, for better lateral grip and a more menacing look. Helping the nearly 2.5-ton electric super sedan cling to the road are 21-inch lightweight forged wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, which house UP’s six-piston carbon ceramic big brake kit. To keep those brakes cool, UP added a carbon fiber brake cooling duct to the front end. Unplugged Performance
