Tesla Model S by Larte Design Gets Upgraded to 900 hp

It is hard to forget the spectacular lava-infused Tesla Model S by Larte Design, isn’t it? The car was revealed two weeks ago at the Top Marques Monaco and caused a big furor. And if you think that there is nothing new going on around this project then you are definitely wrong. The car is getting a performance upgrade, which will make it even more powerful.

Named Elizabeta and colored in fiery red, this Model S is now getting an exuberating white version, which is currently in preparation at company’s division in California. It will be extremely hot variant of the car, because of its spectacular 900hp capability. In comparison, the red Elizabeta produces “only” 700 hp.

What is more, this will not only raise the performance of the car with 29 percent but will also show any higher energy consumption, meaning that it will have similar reach as the production variant. Furthermore, this version of the Elizabeta will also feature lightweight front and rear bumpers made of basalt fibers just like its sibling.

To remind you, Larte Desin’s bodywork weighs just 13kg altogether, not only due to the aforementioned bumpers, but also because of the carbon fiber elements included in the front bumper, wheel arches, side skirts, trunk lid and the rear diffuser insert.

And for those who really like the noisy sound of a petrol engine, the tuner has prepared a sound module, which can acoustically mimic car’s acceleration. Oh, and have you noticed the revised interior as well?

Take a Look at this Lava-Infused Tesla Model S

Larte Design has finally revealed its one-off Tesla Model S at the Top Marques Monaco. There were several teasers before this big event, which gradually delivered hints about the special car. Even the sketch they released two days ago showed that the design of the vehicle will speak for itself. And so it does. Just take a look at the astounding pictures in the gallery below.

There are a lot of details that capture the attention. Such are the new more muscular front bumper and fender vents, the revised grille that is the first thing to see, the corresponding rear bumper and spoilers.

As we already know that these components were made of an innovative material called basalt fiber. It is made from natural lava rock and it is a very strong competition to the popular carbon fiber due to its great characteristics.

First of all it is very light in weight. In fact, the entire kit weighs only 13 kg. It is said that this material is also very tough and durable. Furthermore, the designers made the kit with lightning-like sharp lines to emphasize even further sporty nature of this superb electric vehicle.

The other cool thing about this Tesla is the new driving sound that mimics a real engine. Although there aren’t any pictures, the interior of the Model S has been also redesigned. At last, we should also note those huge multi-spoke forged wheels.

Lava-made LARTE Tesla Model S to Debut in Monaco

Larte Design Tesla Model S Teaser We are eagerly waiting to see Larte Design’s Tesla Model S, when it debuts at the Top Marques Monaco on 16^th of April. The reason for this is that it will have a body work, which is not made from polyurethane or carbon, but from basalt fibers. Well, actually the front and rear aprons will be made of this material and in fact, this contributes for the weight of this kit to be only 13kg.

What does basalt fibers precisely mean? First, it means that they are made of material that is produced from volcanic rock, and some of it is actually millions of years old. Secondly, high smelting temperatures are required for its melting. This however does not impact its good total energy footprint. Thirdly, the result is that the basalt is also ecologically-viable, which resonates perfectly with the spirit of the Tesla.

The volcanic material has other good characteristics. For instance, its pure fibers’ high application temperature is between -269 and +650°. This makes it strength-to-weight ratio really great and perfectly suitable for the parts like the bumpers or spoilers. It makes them not only lighter but also stronger.

Compared to the conventional glass fibers, the basalt fibers are less acid-, base- and salt-resistant. In addition, the lava-derived material has a higher compression and shear strength, it has good price and this makes its future really bright. So what’s left is to see the car debuting in a week from now. This is when a lot of question will be answered.

Larte Design Invites us to Solve the Enigma

At the Top Marques Monaco the Russian tuning company Larte Design will reveal its Enigma. We are speaking about the recently teased Tesla Model S which will also be called with the synonym of “riddle”. It is inspired by both Nikola Tesla who still gives rise to many puzzles, and by the car that is the perfect combination of power and eco-friendliness.

With this project the tuner aims to give a new vision of the EV. Judging by the teasers it is obvious that this vehicle will pay tribute to the Master of Lightning. The sharp lines of the car seem to be even sharper and this in turn emphasizes its sporty nature.

Larte Design says that inside the car will be fitted with various luxury features but does not continue with any other details. Large forged wheels accompanied by acoustical element are what will draw the attention. The sound will come from integrated electronic sound module that will also have another purpose: to show-off the 700 hp capability of the electric car.

It was also revealed that the tuning kit will be made of light and strong composite material. Most probably it will be a carbon fiber, but there are rumors for a basalt-fiber reinforced plastic, too. If you wonder about the latter, well it is generated from lava rock and is usually utilized in bullet-proof vests of space technology.

The big reveal of Larte Design Tesla Model S Enigma will happen on 16^th of April at Top Marques Monaco.

Larte Design Mercedes GL Black Crystal Shows the Power of 290 Horses [VIDEO]

Do you remember Larte Design’s Mercedes-Benz GL Black Crystal? This beautifully customized vehicle is now the main star in tuning company’s movie “Black Crystal”. The stylish film is very unusual, because it features a fictitious point-to-point race between the polo horse Barraca and Larte’s GL Black Crystal. The video clip was shot on the Hovener Hof stud farm near Weilerswist in North Rhine, Westphalia.

Although the tuned Mercedes has more than 290 hp (213 kW) (the production output is 258 hp (190 kW) and 620 Nm (458 lb-ft)), the drivers were quite astonished how very agile and spontaneously speedy the horse was. At the same time, the horse fans found the visual refinement of the car quite compelling.

Vehicle’s name is inspired by the two giant crystals of sorts on the front apron. The tuning program here includes a very aggressive body kit as well as black 22’’ forged alloy wheels and a sonorous exhaust system.

The front guard is escutcheon-shaped and stretches along the entire height. It features LED daytime running light, jags, edges, boomerang-shaped elements, exposed-carbon inserts and a number of air inlets.

What is more, for additional sportier look and proportions, Larte has equipped the Mercedes-Benz GL with new aprons and mighty wing spacers at the rear and the front. The width of the car is additionally underscored by new side skirts and rear door beads. What is so striking here is the central, formula-1-type brake light and the 4-pipe carbon-coated stainless-steel exhaust system.
