The performance-oriented chassis, combined with a quieter and more comfortable cabin and specially designed chassis hardware, creates a solid foundation for achieving higher levels of performance. In addition, the new Performance 4th generation drive unit delivers more power and lower energy consumption, delivering a 22% continuous power increase, 32% peak power increase and 16% peak torque increase compared to the previous Model 3. All with lower overall energy consumption.
The 20-inch wheels and Pirelli P Zero 4 tires provide better cornering exit and limit traction control interference. They also provide better comfort, lower rolling resistance and increased range.
Developed to deliver a better track driving experience for the new Model 3 Performance, Track Mode V3 integrates engine control, suspension control, powertrain cooling and Vehicle Dynamics Controller (VDC) under one unified system. This delivers a more predictable, stable and consistent experience in a variety of track environments.
The new Adaptive Shock Absorber system adapts to driver and road inputs in real time, optimizing ride and handling while enhancing ride comfort. Controlled via internal software, it is constantly evolving with future over-the-air software updates.
