Tesla R45 Supercar
Concept Artist Khyzyl Saleem probably
doesn't concern himself with those types of things. He did however use his
talents and his creativity to imagine what a Tesla supercar would look like,
and this is what he came up with.
Dubbed the Tesla R45, it's based off a
Saleen S7 and "with a Hybrid transplant of some sort" it would also
have AWD, which would likely mean insane, yet hypothetical, acceleration
figures. It's obviously just a rendering and not something official, as Khyzyl
points out, but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that Elon
Musk would one day see the need for something that Porsche can't pick on, is
it?
The artist also did a great job hiding
the Saleen S7's external features, as the only thing we can recognize clearly
belonging to the S7 are the doors and the windshield. That's it. The rest is
pretty original and certainly looks as if it would belong in the same
conversation as some of the world's fastest cars. What you will recognize
though are a couple of obvious Tesla features, such as the Model S headlights
and grille (before the facelift).
The only thing we find confusing is all
this talk about this being a "hybrid concept" and using a
"hybrid transplant" - when in reality Tesla would obviously just go
full-electric.
