Manhart's Tesla Model 3 Is A Rapid And Stylish EV

There was once a time when seeing a Tesla was an occasion. Electric vehicles were somewhat of a novelty, and Musk's slick-looking EVs were a symbol of the future. Fast forward a couple of years, and the more affordableModel 3and Model Y are on every street corner - in some parts of the country, at least.

年代o, what do you do if you want to retain your Tesla but still want to stand out from the crowd? You turn to a tuner, of course. ADRO, for example, will fit your Model 3 with a ratherracy-looking carbon fiber body kitthat lends the demure sedan plenty of aggression. But if you're looking for something a little more subtle, Manhart Performance has the solution.

One wouldn'tdescribe Manhart's creations as subtle, but the TM3 510 is surprisingly discreet. The black-painted Model 3 Performance seen below boasts a carbon fiber front spoiler that, paired with the 21-inch Barracuda wheels, lends the EV an athletic look. This display model has Platinum Grey rims, but Manhart notes other colors can be chosen.

It wouldn't be a Manhart creation without decals but thankfully the company's signature gold finish is nowhere to be seen. Matte grey and red stripes uplift the black paintwork, but we're guessing buyers can elect to remove them. The least successful change has to be the faux honeycomb mesh grille. It's not too bad from afar, but it looks rather cheap up close.
