Brabus has taken the green route with its latest undertaking that involves the Tesla Model S. The company, known for converting regular Mercedes into powerful, fire-breathing cars, has now taken on the Model S P90D and given it cosmetic modifications.

The Brabus Model S gets a new aerodynamic package specifically designed in a wind tunnel to help reduce drag and aerodynamic lift. At the front, it gets a carbon-fibre spoiler to reduce front-end lift along with attachments for the air-intakes to optimise airflow. Moving to the rear, there's a carbon-fibre rear diffuser along with an integrated boot spoiler. New 21-inch black-finished Brabus alloys top off the car’s exterior design.

The interiors of the Brabus Model S can be customised with a choice of colours for the leather, Alcantara, wood and carbon-fibre trim used in the cabin. The car also gets a new centre console with cup holders, as well as heating and cooling functions, a wireless smartphone charger and illuminated scuff plates with the Brabus logo.

However, the changes are purely cosmetic and the Tesla Model S' powertrain remains unaltered.
