The first modified electric car comes from BRABUS (at least that’s what the German firm that specialized until now on Mercedes-Benz and Smart models, supports in its press release). For its first take on an all-electric vehicle, BRABUS limited modifications to the Tesla Roaster’s interior/exterior styling and wheel/tire options. The BRABUS-prepped Tesla Roadster will make its world debut at the ESSEN motorshow in Germany on November 29th.

For the Roadster’s appearance, the German tuning firm offers a new ‘matte white’ paintjob combined with a mild body kit that includes a carbon-fiber front lip, daytime running lights integrated into the front grille and carbon-fiber air inlets. In the rear there’s a rear wing and a rear diffuser, both made from carbon fiber while the round taillights are accentuated by matte-white applications. The exterior package is complemented by the new BRABUS Monoblock S light-alloy wheels wrapped around Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tires in size 215/35 ZR 18 in front and in size 255/30 ZR 19 on the rear axle.
