Tesla has infamously shunned traditional marketing
techniques and odds are that it will likely continue to do so well into the
future. However, if the electric automaker ever feels the need to promote its
technologies and vehicles, there’s one avenue we’d love to see it pursue;
prototype racing.
Yes, it is extremely unlikely to happen, but artists
Jeroen Claus and Fabian Brees have decided to render a potential Tesla Le Mans
prototype for the year 2030.
The project was submitted as part of the Michelin
Design Challenge 2017 and provides a glimpse of a totally bespoke racer that
looks unlike anything currently competing in LMP1 racing. In fact, from some
angles, the racer more closely resembles a spaceship than a car. It’s therefore
fitting that it has a number of SpaceX stickers.
Beyond the intriguing exterior design, the concept
has been imagined with a complex electric powertrain capable of accelerating
the prototype to over 450 km/h down the famed Mulsanne Straight at Le
Mans.
