Team XCAR got back from a three-week megatour of the US last week, we got up to many things while we were there, but one of the highlights was spending some time with the guys at Saleen.

We're making a couple of films on the company (they've some interesting stories there) the first of which is the one below - Saleen's take on the Tesla Model S, the FourSixteen.

They'll be the first in what'll inevitably be a long line of Tesla tuners. The Model S is a HUGE deal in California, and the people who had a cool, quirky car six months ago are swiftly finding themselves blending in with the crowd. Something to make your Tesla different from all the others may appeal...

I heard a rumour that after the FourSixteen's debut at Pebble Beach Saleen had more than a few orders to convert cars.

What do you think of it? Colour aside (not my thing) I really liked it. It makes Tesla's design look a little bland, don't you think?

you guys are evil. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to see a new video pop up and have to wait until night to get home and watch it in HD on my big TV in all its glory and superbly edited and narrated glory?

Well, do you?

*cries in despair* #firstworldproblems

PS: you guys do amazing work, no lie!

They made the front end look kinda like a panamera, and I don't know how I feel about thatthat

The front of the Panamera isn't really the problem. The rear is not that great -

I'm actually in the minority of people who think the panamera looks awesome, but I just don't really like the way that front end looks on the tesla, although frankly the stock front end of the tesla is kinda ugly as well
