Tesla will offer a carbon-ceramic brake kit for its Model S Plaid sedan beginning in mid-2022, according to a post on the company’s website.
There has been media speculation Tesla would showcase the Model S Plaid’s capabilities with special packages developed for the racetrack, which appears to be the case beginning with the Model S Plaid Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit.
The $20,000 upgrade is designed to enhance the sedan’s track capabilities, at least that is the message within the company’s post:
“Designed for the ultimate track experience, the Model S Plaid Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit is a complete hardware package that delivers maximum, repeatable stopping power during high-performance driving.”
The best-performing Tesla, the vehicle came out earlier this year and has produced the best performance numbers of any production car – 1.9-second acceleration from 0-60 miles per hour.
The kit includes all-new carbon-silicon carbide rotors that provide maximum high-temperature durability and heat management, one-piece forged calipers with high-performance pads and high-temperature brake fluid.
