The Tesla Model S shooting brake is a one-of-a-kind custom conversion created by Dutch coachbuilder RemetzCar, designed by Niels van Roij Design and commissioned by collector Floris de Raadt. Finished in a bespoke British Racing Green developed exclusively for the owner, this hand-built Model S estate is the world's only example of its kind.
Why a Tesla Model S Shooting Brake?
From the moment Tesla launched the Model S, designers and enthusiasts around the world began imagining it in shooting brake form. The long, elegant roofline of the Model S lends itself naturally to the classic estate silhouette popularised by Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Volvo in earlier decades. Tesla never built such a car, so Dutch engineering firm RemetzCar and designer Niels van Roij stepped in to realise the concept as a full coachbuilt conversion.
The Conversion: What RemetzCar Changed
The modifications to the standard Model S are substantial. Everything from the B-pillar rearward has been completely redesigned. The roofline is extended into a full shooting brake profile, with a new rear hatchback providing significantly enlarged boot capacity. A bespoke tailgate features an integrated rear spoiler, hidden rear window wiper, and brake light. A chrome trim strip runs from the A-pillars along the full roofline and frames the panoramic roof, tying the front and rear design together. Interior upgrades accompany the exterior transformation, making the cabin feel consistent with the coachbuilt exterior.
British Racing Green: A Bespoke Colour
The exterior colour is not a standard Tesla or RemetzCar catalogue shade. The British Racing Green with a metallic gold undertone was developed specifically for this vehicle and its owner. The result is a finish that pays homage to classic British motorsport livery while complementing the sleek, modern proportions of the Model S body. No other car wears this exact shade, making the finish as unique as the conversion itself.
Production Plans and Pricing
RemetzCar indicated plans to build up to 20 to 30 examples of the Model SB conversion, subject to demand. The conversion cost starts at approximately £80,000 on top of the base price of the Model S donor car. The unique commission shown here was offered for sale at 185,555 EUR, representing a rare opportunity to acquire a truly one-off electric shooting brake that combines Tesla's electric drivetrain with bespoke coachbuilt craftsmanship.
Coachbuilt Electrics: A Growing Category
The RemetzCar Model S sits at the intersection of coachbuilding tradition and electric vehicle innovation. As more mainstream EVs reach the market, independent designers and small-volume coachbuilders are increasingly turning to electric platforms as a canvas for bespoke work. The shooting brake format, once a staple of European luxury marques, is finding new life through custom conversions like this one.
