The recent introduction of the BMW i8 hybrid in the automobile world has raised everyone’s eyebrow. Although this may not even be part of the first things that may pop to mind, however, modding a BMW i8 has become more of an extravaganza owing to the marvel of modern design the hybrid sports car is already made of.
Our eyes had barely settled down with the excitement that the BMW i8 hybrid brought along with it before they began to pop out again at the introduction of a new Vorsteiner VR-E BMW i8 model. No doubt, the guys at Vorsteiner have proven that this automobile which is just one of the finest eco-friendly sports vehicles on the market can still look a bit more aggressive.
The typical BMW i8 hybrid sports car features unique seamless patterns, angular and curvaceous body lines that are nicely blended together to create one of the most exotic cars of the century. Unarguably, it represents a modern design and advanced engineering. However, the gorgeous and one-off Vorsteinerkit has rebranded the amazing sports car and have come up with something more astounding than it was.
Renown for quality fitment and contemporary design, this aftermarket tuning company has stepped out with a more classic version of the BMW i8 which now features new custom body parts like an innovative fiber aero front spoiler and rear diffuser that perfectly fits with the 22” forged step lip alloy wheels.
Although the model is yet to hit its final stages that will include the addition of other cool features that will complement its overall outlook with exquisite body styling elements, the Vorsteiner VR-E BMW i8 package now features an overall classy and stylish design.
While offering supreme strength and rigidity to the BMW i8, these Vorsteiner parts are constructed with the best carbon fiber which is the Autoclaved Pre-Impregnated type. No wonder, they could provide durability, aerospace strength and superior stiffness that surpasses the features that come with the traditional hand laid carbon fiber composites.
To cap it up, Vorsteiner did not hesitate to honor the BMW i8 with a fresh set of VFE-301 - their newly designed forged wheels. Although, they are bigger than the wheels of the OEM setup, they are, however, known to be light thereby providing for a deliberate visual upgrade on weight.
The car’s hybrid system had no added modifications under the hood, as it still comes with the same shape of an electric drive system – the BMW’s eDrive technology and maintained the same 1.5-liter turbo-charged 3-cylinder TwinPower Turbo petrol unit. While running at a top speed of 120km/h, this hybrid sports car features an all-electric range of about 35 km.
No doubt, we should expect better performance from the BMW i8 with this advanced aerodynamics upgrade from Vorsteiner.

Aftermarket alloys are typically lighter than their stock counterparts, reducing unsprung weight and improving the performance of your car. They’re also available in larger diameters and widths, allowing larger brakes and wider tyres to be installed for increased cornering performance and stopping power.
Alloy wheels have a far longer lifespan than steel wheels. When well cared for, they can last for decades - and they can be easily refurbished and restored to look as good as new.
