There has been major diversification in the types of electric cars on sale over the past decade; with there now being SUV variants, sports cars, city cars and sedans. However, drivers that are after an estate car will have to look elsewhere as there are currently no electric wagons in production A number of companies have taken it upon themselves to rectify this, using the Tesla Model S as the guinea pig. UK company Qwest became the first to unveil a Model S Wagon, but RemetzCar has taken it to another level. The car looks more thoughtfully designed to accommodate the Estate-style rear, which blends more seamlessly into the original design. Extra chrome trim has been added to help give the car a more premium feel and to help blend the new estate back into the original design. New badging also adorns the car at the front, rear and on the sides and inside the car. It was designed by Dutchman Niels van Roij and his team in London and is due to be produced in a coach building facility outside of Amsterdam. In addition to the obvious changes to the car’s rear, there have been a number of modifications inside the vehicle. These include new trim options inside the car and new interior colours and to the exterior with a new colour of paint which developed for the Shooting Brake. The car's battery or motor have, however, not been modifed and it has not been revealed how the larger rear will affect the car's performance. Floris de Raadt explained the reason for the project:”The idea was to translate my Tesla Model S into a dynamic and sporty yet elegant Shooting Brake, rather than creating a car with maximum luggage space. “Niels van Roij Design developed several options for the conversion, focusing on premium design combined with limited conversion costs: thus making coach building available for a larger group of connoisseurs. “Our favourite was the option called ‘Bold Chrome’, featuring remarkable high gloss chrome window trims emphasizing the bold dynamic lines of the car. The result is truly stunning!” Prices for the cost of conversion have not yet been revealed. Qwest quotes the conversion for its Model S Wagon starts from £70,000.
