Tesla has announced a new Model Y Performance model with 460hp in a family SUV with 0-60mph of 3.3 seconds, with extensive reengineering to maximise comfort, efficiency, connectivity and safety.
With pricing starting at £61,990 UK or €61,990 in Ireland, Model Y Performance is available to order across Europe, with deliveries starting in October in the UK and Ireland.
The new Model Y Performance builds on improvements introduced earlier in 2025: extensive reengineering to maximize efficiency, comfort, connectivity and safety, along with a redesigned interior and exterior.
Performance-Focused Design
In addition to the features that come standard on all Model Y vehicles, such as a panoramic glass roof with acoustic glass throughout the cabin, an 8” second-row touchscreen, power-reclining second-row seats, Autopilot, over-the-air software updates and more, new Model Y Performance adds:
Front and rear fascias upgraded for high-speed performance
New 21” Arachnid 2.0 forged wheels with integrated aero covers for improved efficiency
Performance red brake calipers
Liftgate with Performance badging
Puddle lamps with illuminated Performance badging
Glossy black finishes on front fascia, rear fascia and mirror caps
Carbon fiber spoiler for enhanced high-speed stability
First-row Performance seats with powered thigh cushion extenders
Carbon-fiber dash and door trim inserts
Aluminum pedals
These upgrades give Model Y Performance a distinct look, making it recognizable on the road while staying true to Tesla’s sleek and functional signature design. The new front and rear fascias, new rear diffuser and carbon-fibre spoiler work together to create greater downforce, resulting in 10% less drag and 64% reduced lift for a 27% improvement overall in front-to-rear lift balance compared to earlier Model Y Performance vehicles.
