If we had a nickel
for every driver tooling around in an electric vehicle frontin’ like a
superhero saving the world, we might have had enough extra cash on hand to buy
a nice one for ourselves. But this owner/comic-book fan seems to have taken
things a step further. Called Project Superman, it’s
the latest Model S customized by the Tesla experts at T Sportline. And as you
can see, it lives up to the name.
The electric
sedan’s been painted in a Deep Blue Metallic with red badges for a look
evocative of the iconic DC superhero. And it rides on 21-inch matte-black
alloys, with a carbon-fiber wing on the trunklid. But inside is where the
Superman motif really takes off its glasses and reveals its secret
identity.
The cabin’s been
re-upholstered in Bentley Red leather, with perforated seats and quilted door
panels. It’s capped by blue accents to match the bodywork, with a blue suede
headliner and blue carbon-fiber trim on the steering wheel, dashboard, and
center console. And just in case the theme isn’t apparent, it has Superman
logos embroidered into the headrests and floor mats and illuminating the tarmac
and matching the one on the tail.
Since it’s based on
the P100D model, it also packs the electric punch to back up its Superman
theme. With Ludicrous mode engaged, the top version of the Model S will rocket
to 60 in 2.5 seconds – or faster than a speeding bullet.
