Liberty Walk Bolts a Widebody Kit to the Tesla Model 3, It Looks Stranger Than Strange

The controversial Japanese tuner has a reputation for rolling out conspicuous widebody kits. You can either love it or hate it. They have recently thrown some magic dust on the Ford GT and the Nissan Fairlady Z, the Ferrari F40 and the McLaren 720S.

Now, the time has come for the Tesla Model 3 to get the treatment. Gone are the days when the compact sedan came with that tamed styling, which you can't label as "beautiful" or "ugly" because it is none of them. One thing is for sure. It surely is a car that can fly under the radar. But now, Liberty Walks has changed the rules of the game for the Model 3.

The electric sedan is quite an odd choice for the tuning house, which has only focused on ICE-powered classic sports cars until now. But there is always a first time for everything, and here's the Model 3s first time in the Liberty Walk shop.

What drove out of there does not resemble the electric compact sedan that drove in. We can blame the founder of the firm, Wataru Kato, for the job. His latest creation is the Liberty Walk Tesla Model 3 LB E Works.

The body kit brings an aggressive front lip spoiler and a ducktail rear wing at the opposite end, sitting in the company of an air diffuser. There are side diffusers and huge arch extensions that give the Model 3 an intimidating stance.

The components of the newly released body kit are made from fiber-reinforced plastic and are available starting today. You will have to pay $7,920 for it on top of the price of the Model 3. However, those who choose the body kit without the wide fenders and side diffuser will pay $6,270.

If you're not interested in buying a kit, but a single component, the front half splitter is $1,980, while the rear diffuser can be purchased for $1,650. But if you want the fenders, you have to go for the whole package. Prices do not include shipping.

The car starts at $33,990 in the United States, with the estimated incentives and the five-year gas savings plan included. The Model 3 in the photos published by Liberty Walk is no stock thing behind the body kit. It sits closer to the ground than the standard vehicle and rides on aftermarket wheels, which the tuner does not include in the price.

The kit can be fitted to any version from the entry-level Rear-Wheel Drive to the top-of-the-line Performance All-Wheel Drive. But considering that Liberty Walk has also had a thing for sports cars, it would better be the Performance variant.
