IT Home reported on April 23 that @孙少军 09 said that Tesla's new Model 3 Ludicrous high-performance version will be released tomorrow. In addition, another car blogger, @特魔豆, also released a corner of the poster for the launch of the new car.
In the past few months, spy photos of the test car of the new Model 3 Performance have been leaked, but the timing of the launch has not been clear. Tesla unveiled an improved Model 3 last summer, a year after it was announced, but there has been no news on the Performance version.
Recently, there have been frequent leaks about the new Model 3 Performance, including leaks in Tesla's configurator that confirm many of the model's new features. Judging by the latest show car, the new Model 3 Performance will be named Model 3 Ludicrous with the word "Ludicrous" printed in the center of the seat, which has been used on the Model S Plaid before. The black version was shown, and for the first time, the "Ludicrous" logo was added, replacing the "Plaid" lettering on the Model S Plaid. Tesla's official previously leaked information mentioned that the new seats will be equipped with strengthened lateral and cushion supports, with ventilation features to provide better comfort and support for the driver.
IT House notes that the new Model 3 Performance gets upgraded front lip and rear diffusers, while it comes with all-new Tesla aerodynamic wheels.
At the moment, Tesla has not released detailed specifications and pricing for the new car. It is worth mentioning that the new Model 3 Performance is expected to be the fastest accelerating Model 3 model in history, and although it is not as light as the Model S Plaid, its lighter body will make it one of Tesla's most handling performance cars.
