An independent designer imagines a sportier take on Tesla’s fully electric truck
December 9, 2023 at 18:22
Full-size trucks are typically designed to excel as workhorses on and off the beaten track, but, like all vehicle types, they can undergo modifications. Shortly after its debut in production-spec form, the Tesla Cybertruck served as the muse for independent designer Robert Design, who decided to give it a digital makeover with an aggressive body kit and new wheels. The end result is more akin to a car, or shall we say, a ute, than a truck, because, well, why not?
The renderings of this detailed 3D model may appear real, but they currently exist solely in the digital realm – at least until a Cybertruck owner decides to turn them into a reality.

The standout feature of this fictional tuning project is the significantly lowered suspension, which brings the truck’s ground clearance closer to that of a performance car. The custom body kit includes a more pronounced lower section on the front bumper with a glossy black splitter. Along the sides, the boxy fender extensions incorporate integrated intakes and follow the angular styling language of the Cybertruck, enhancing its overall width and stance.
The EV now rolls on a set of wider five-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in slick tires. Additionally, you’ll notice side skirts with aerodynamic fins extending from the bodywork. Moving to the rear, the designer chose a cleaner look without a rear wing, but a new rear bumper complements the wide fenders and features a glossy black diffuser underneath.
The Brazilian 3D artist published the tuned Cybertruk on his Instagram profile (@rob3rtdesign), and the post generating loads of likes and comments. Given the popularity of the Tesla Cybertruck, it’s only a matter of time before more tuners unveil their versions of this fully electric truck. Expect to see all different kinds of modifications, from overlander builds to sporty-themed trucks, as the first examples of the EV have already hit the roads in the US.
Note: These unofficial renderings are off-the-record and have nothing to do with Tesla
