The German tuning workshop, AC Schnitzer has recently presented the first program of styling the most innovative hypercar from the Bavarian's range from BMW, the new i8.

The new aerodynamic kit, developed by AC Schnitzer designers emphasizes the futuristic side of the car and of course, that is made entirely of carbon fiber. It includes the front spoiler and the side skirts slightly flared. Additional installed new springs with a drop of 25 mm front and 20 mm rear, and thus the ground clearance of the car, like the center of gravity is closer to the earth.

And finally, the picture is completed with a set of forged wheels, huge, with a diameter of 21 inches, the brand AC1 which besides the special design, is up to 30% lighter than the factory. Here's an example that shows a recipe for successful tuning and not only in design but also at the performance chapter.

Even if we have pictures inside, those from AC Schnitzer give us assurances that changes have occurred here, however, less noticeable. It was included new aluminum pedals but also new stylized logo mats of the German company.
