Will.i.am Modified A Tesla And It’ll Make You Want To Gouge Your Eyes Out

This Tesla has been worked over by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and his 'IAMAUTO' tuning outfit. The results are, erm, interesting...

This suicide door converted Tesla isn’t the only car to have received the loving touch of IAMAUTO (no, we’re not sure why it’s all in capital letters either). Give the brand name a Google and you’ll see what we mean - just make sure you have a sick bucket to hand before you click ‘search’.

While you summon up the courage to research Will.i.am’s previous tuning efforts, what do you think this latest one looks like? The bastard love child of an MX-5 and a Tesla? A horrifying, robotised Magikarp? Post your suggestions below…

I like it

Good because these Tesla models are getting really boring.

It looks like the i8 had a deformed baby.

Wondering why people are saying Will.i.am is a non car guy. He’s appeared as a guest on Top Gear before and all Jeremey and Will.i.am talked about was his concept car designs. I’m remember he also mentioned he was going to build a car factory in his home town.

I fail to see how this is too different from Liberty Walk or Rocket Bunny.

Some of those are pretty bad too, though some are nice

IAMAUTO? More like IAMUGLY. I have literally no idea how to describe this “car” My best guess is a Tesla mixed with a McLaren P1

There are some really nice aspects to it. As a whole though, it’s ugly as sin.

This guy needs to stop touching cars.

What was that? A DMC-12? Poor thing..

He only builds his cars to his customers specifications. If his customers are stupid, that doesn’t mean he is. Money is money, but here’s some eye candy for you, from him.

well… the fact that a man came out of poverty, then went back home to his hood in cali, built a car company and hired only unemployed people from his old hood, just in order to help the community….I don’t care what it ends up looking like that there is a good man.
