Tesla Model S Wagon

The Tesla Model S Wagon concept, envisioned by Ares Modena, reimagines Tesla’s flagship Model S sedan as an estate or “shooting brake” variant, bringing a new dimension to one of the most iconic electric vehicles. Ares Design, a bespoke car design company based in Modena, Italy, developed this concept under the direction of its CEO, Dany Bahar. His inspiration for the Model S shooting brake emerged from his experiences driving a Model S sedan. While he enjoyed the sedan’s performance and electric capabilities, Bahar noted its limited cargo space and felt the interior quality could use some refinement to align with the car’s premium status. Ares Design’s approach to addressing these issues combines style with functionality. The shooting brake model offers a streamlined yet spacious design, incorporating the aesthetics and luxury expected of a high-end estate vehicle. To make this concept a reality, Ares employed a combination of lightweight materials—aluminum and carbon fiber—to enhance performance and structural integrity while keeping the vehicle light. This choice reflects Ares’ expertise in using advanced materials for custom automotive builds. The expanded cargo space and more polished interior aim to meet the needs of drivers seeking a practical, stylish EV without sacrificing performance or comfort. However, it remains unclear whether this concept ever moved past the design and prototyping stages into full production. Unlike traditional concept cars shown at major auto shows, the Model S Wagon by Ares Design was a more specialized, niche vision, and it did not receive official support from Tesla. Despite this, the concept sparked significant interest, especially among Tesla enthusiasts looking for a more versatile EV that retained the Model S’s sleek design and powerful electric drivetrain. By blending luxury estate elements with Tesla’s EV performance, Ares Design offered a unique glimpse into what an estate version of the Model S could look like, even if the project remains a rare, ambitious concept. Ares also built a convertible version of the Tesla Modela S.
