Nikita Chuicko works under the name kelsonik and spends his time turning existing cars into the versions manufacturers never quite got around to building. His latest set of renderings takes the Tesla Model S and stretches it into a shooting brake while adding a full widebody kit. Everything is finished in solid black, the stance is dropped, and the proportions feel deliberate rather than forced.
Tesla has finally closed the book on the Model S and Model X, but it has left a tiny window open to make one last shot at a limited Signature Series of the two cars, complete with Gold badges and a price tag to match, before moving on to the next thing. Chuicko, on the other hand, saw and appreciated a chance. As far as he could tell, the shape of that iconic vehicle still had life in it. So he preserved the Model S design but went a little further with the roof, elevating it well over the back axle and squaring off the back end to give it a functional hatch, ultimately changing it into a car that sits somewhere between a grand tourer and a high-speed hauler.

Out front, the design is reminiscent of the newer Model Y, with two independent headlights flanking a continuous LED light strip that spans the entire front of the vehicle. The bumper is nice and low and clean, with just enough going on to keep the face from looking plain, and then there are those enormous front wheel flares that push the front wheels out and give it a planted aspect even when it’s just sitting in the driveway. The Black concave Y-spoke wheels, which run way down into the flares, help to secure those wheels.
Along the sides, the extra width stands out. The size of the flares suggests that they are structural rather than purely aesthetic. There is still a high beltline that protects the glass area from looking stretched out, as well as a modest small roof spoiler that sits right above the back window. That spoiler works in tandem with the second one positioned on the hatch. At the back, there’s a translucent full-width LED light bar that runs down the tailgate, lit in a mellow crimson that really shows out against the matte black paint. Then, beneath that, there is this quite aggressive diffuser that caps off the edge of the lower paneling and connects the entire rear track.
The entire car is finished in a single deep black color that absorbs light rather than reflecting it back out. There are no bright particles to be found breaking up the surface. The end effect is a car that is both silent and hefty, with a finish that makes the extra width appear to be there by design. Looking at it from the back three quarters, you can see that the elevated roof, two spoilers, and flared arches give the car a low, purposeful appearance while still allowing for a load behind the rear seats.
