Last year, Tesla broke the fastest lap record for 4-door vehicles with a Model S at Laguna Seca racetrack, Future Unplugged Performance upgrades will build upon the foundation of vehicle upgrades on this car and will implement greater extremes of downforce and motorsports grip.A Tesla Model 3 Performance modified by Unplugged Performance (UP) broke a Laguna Seca racetrack record set by Tesla with a Model S plaid prototype. “The test day at Tsukuba circuit was done as a proof of concept to illustrate that UP’s Ascension-R upgraded Model 3s can perform at the level of world class supercars of any era, on any track, in nearly any weather condition and in a near effortless way in which a daily driven spec can drive to the track on autopilot, run with supercars and then drive back home. Negoro also stated that in better conditions and with DOT legal semi-slick tires the car would likely be capable of a 1:01 to 1:02 lap time range.īen Schaffer, CEO of Unplugged Performance, wrote about the experience:

UP’s Model 3 also had a few things going against it, like the temperature, which was less than ideal, the fact that Negoro had no prior experience with Tesla vehicles, the track being somewhat busy that day, and driving on street tires in full daily driven trim. Here are some other best lap times at Tsukuba for comparison: He used to own one before crashing the multi-million-dollar supercar without insurance. Tesla CEO Elon Musk described the McLaren F1 as his favorite car before Tesla. This was achieved with an amateur driver’s first Tesla driving experience in near freezing conditions and with only 20 laps to learn the car.” “The Unplugged Performance upgraded Tesla Model 3 posted a nearly identical lap time as the legendary McLaren F1’s best lap time at Tsukuba while on street tires in full daily driven trim. Unplugged Performance’s Tesla Model 3 Ascension R driven by Ken Negoro achieved a 1:04.7 lap time, which the company says is competitive with the McLaren F1’s best lap time (1:04.6) at the track: They brought the vehicle to the Tsukuba Circuit, which is a popular benchmarking location in Japan. The design of the car has been well-received, but how does it do on the racetrack? Unplugged Performance brought the vehicle, which is owned by Erik Strait of the YouTube channel Daerik, to the Tokyo Auto Salon and also displayed it in front of the Tesla Service Center in Shinonome. Those modifications have already been tested separately during some of the Tesla Corsa events, but now that they are all together on the same vehicle, it was time to put them to an even greater test.

We previously reported on Unplugged Performance (UP), which is one of a few aftermarket accessories and performance upgrade companies focused solely on Tesla vehicles. A Tesla Model 3 modded by Unplugged Performance completed a super-fast lap time that is competitive with the McLaren F1’s best time on the famous Tsukuba Circuit.
