eas is proud to announce the BMW I8 Signature package from AC Schnitzer.

Revolutionary Sporting Performance and Innovative Design - the i8 by AC Schnitzer emphasizes the strengths of the plug-in hybrid from Munich




The BMW i8 is revolutionizing its vehicle class as the first sports car to have the fuel consumption and emission values of a small car. Now thanks to AC Schnitzer, this revolution is being followed by another: the AC Schnitzer special equipment for the BMW i8 emphasizes even more clearly the sporting performance and innovative design of the powerful, environmentally-friendly coupé.







AC Schnitzer carbon front spoiler elements, carbon side skirts (left and right) and a carbon rear wing also ensure that the driving pleasure can be fully enjoyed on acceleration from both the powerful petrol engine and from the electric motor.

The tuning specialists also have something up their sleeve for the wheelset of the BMW i8: the new AC1 forged alloys from AC Schnitzer are perfectly designed for the sports car, combining the hybrid look with a sporting design. With corresponding tires and in bi-Color, the new generation of wheels from Aachen perfectly suits the innovative plug-in hybrid from Munich - especially as it is available in any color you want.



The AC1 forged alloy rim saves around 30% weight compared with a conventional cast wheel, leading to a perceptible reduction in unsprung mass and centrifugal forces on the car, and significantly improving driving dynamics

I appreciate that you're not making any claims in terms of aerodynamic benefits for the CF parts (unlike some others). So, this is for looks only, which is, of course, a matter of personal taste.

If only it didn't cost an arm, a leg, a kidney, and your firstborn. Or has that now changed seeing as how there's only about 3 cars in the wild sporting this?

Agreed. For those who think an improvement can be made on what BMW's engineers did in the looks department. (And, apparently, without regard to the affects on the aerodynamics that were exquisitely modeled by BMW engineers.)
