The manufacturing partnership, which began in 2021, marks another stepping stone in the development of high-end aftermarket additions for Tesla vehicles by Unplugged Performance.
Hawthorne, California, January 17th, 2022 – We are proud to announce a manufacturing partnership between Unplugged Performance x Koenigsegg Advanced Manufacturing (UP x KAM). Koenigsegg, the world’s leading Hypercar manufacturer, is now producing Unplugged Performance tuning products for your Tesla.
The manufacturing partnership began privately in 2021. That changes today as some of the initial products in the collaboration series are now public and available in limited quantities for worldwide shipping. Additional collaborations between Unplugged and Koenigsegg are expected to debut later in 2022. The current release of UP x KAM collaboration products all utilize Koenigsegg’s world-leading specialty in carbon fiber manufacturing. Every item is produced by Koenigsegg’s highly skilled craftsmen and manufactured with the same materials on the same production line as all current generation Koenigsegg Hypercar carbon fiber aerodynamics.
UP x KAM carbon fiber parts are made exclusively from Koenigsegg’s proprietary carbon fiber weave which is pre-impregnated with epoxy resin, precision computer cut to the geometry of the product, assembled by hand by artisans using specialized tooling, pressurized, and temperature optimized in an autoclave, extracted, precision trimmed, sanded, precision bonded, finished in a UV clear coat and topped with a special collaboration sticker indicating the manufacturing partnership.
We are grateful to partner with the best engineers and factories in the world who share in our vision and mission. Koenigsegg is an iconoclastic global leader in innovation and Hypercar grade manufacturing. They also happen to share our ideals of balancing sustainability and driving excitement in harmony. The future of car enthusiast culture depends on embracing the best of craftsmanship, the best of technology, and never losing sight of creating cars that we love to drive. Together with Koenigsegg Advanced Manufacturing we want to excite Tesla owners and to contribute towards an exciting electric future for the car culture we love. – Said Ben Schaffer, Unplugged Performance CEO
This collaboration offers unprecedented access to the rarified air of supercar grade carbon fiber. Today’s official debut introduces a limited series of official collaboration of products. This offering represents a first step in the Unplugged Performance x Koenigsegg Advanced Manufacturing partnership. Limited inventory is currently in stock at Unplugged Performance’s Hawthorne headquarters. Tesla owners can expect further collaborations between the brands as Unplugged Performance together with Koenigsegg bring new levels of quality and innovation to the Tesla ownership experience.
