Homologation documents from China reveal the full technical specifications of the upcoming Tesla Model 3 Performance.
The certainty is now 99%: the new Tesla Model 3 Performance, which the Californian manufacturer never mentions, will have 626 horsepower! The previous version displayed 393 kW, or 534 horsepower, representing an increase of 92 horsepower!
Second piece of information: no tri-motor transmission like on the Model S Plaid, but two electric motors. One at the front with unchanged power of 158 kW (214 horsepower). A second at the rear producing 303 kW (412 horsepower).
Stunning Performance?
Third piece of information: the battery would be similar to the Long Range version, with a capacity of 82 kWh for an estimated range of around 600 km if driven lightly. In South Korea, where homologation standards are very strict, the recorded range would only be 430 km.
Fourth piece of information: the weight is estimated at 1855 kg, compared to the current Model 3 Performance‘s homologation in Europe at 1919 kg. Will the equipment differ between Chinese and European versions? Or will Tesla adopt exotic materials such as carbon for the body to lighten its electric sedan? This seems very likely.
In terms of performance, this Tesla Model 3 should be astonishing, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of less than 3 seconds. Finally, regarding prices, the previous Model 3 Performance was priced at 55,990 euros in France. It is reasonable to expect higher starting prices, which will decrease after the initial hype dies down.
