London-based design house turns American electric luxury liftback into an estate

A new Tesla Model S Shooting Brake has been revealed by a London-based design company ahead of a planned 20-unit production run.

Created by Niels van Roij Design in London, the car is due to be produced by RemetzCar at its coachbuilding facility just outside Amsterdam.

Dutchman van Roij’s model features a stretched roofline to give it more of an estate-style rear end and a bigger boot capacity. The car’s tailgate is heavily raked and extra chrome trim has been added to the sides of the body.

Changes have also been made to the interior, where new trimmings and badges have been added.

No modifications have been announced for the powertrain, so the Model S's standard all-electric system will remain.

Although the car takes a similar form to the Norfolk-designed and built Qwest Model S Shooting Brake that was revealed earlier this year (and Autocar drove), the details are bespoke to give each car a unique look.

“The conversion merges seamlessly with the Tesla base vehicle, while clearly communicating through form, design language and materials that this is a tailor-made Shooting Brake,” said van Roij of his car. “And of course, we added a completely new sculpted rear end, keeping the shoulders of the car alive, thus ensuring a bold stance.”

Pricing for the new Model S Shooting Brake is yet to be revealed.

Qwest's rival conversion, which features carbonfibre bodywork, is priced from £70,000.
