Compared to competing models, this hybrid was sure a tad under-powered, but ever since plenty of knowledgeable people and various magazines hailed it as a true sports car, and a good one at that.

In its stock form, nothing is really missing, and is as close to perfection as you can get. But even under these circumstances, there are those out there that are just itching to see the BMW i8 tuned. Alpha-N Performance seems to be ready to jump right on that, as the recent rendering they released suggests.

The tuned BMW i8 they present has minor alterations, with only a set of wheels and a rear wing added, but again, these are two modifications too much. Not to mention that BMW spent so much time in the wind tunnel fine tuning the aerodynamics of the hybrid i8 that the rear wing is most likely ruining all that effort. But it looks good.

And for those lucky enough to count themselves as one of the owners of this machine, Alpha-N released a new tuning kit.

For the aesthetics, the tuner built a carbon fiber body kit all around, displaying a more muscle car-ish aspect, complete with a new hood and rear diffuser. The whole thing was then hoisted atop 19 inch S3 alloy wheels.

Under the hood is where this build really shines, with the V8 engine seeing a capacity increase from 4.0 to 4.6 liters. this translates into a 70 Hp and 70 Nm of torque increase, up to 490 Hp and 470 Nm. They also removed the speed limiter, allowing the E92 BMW M3 to reach a top speed of 315 km/h.

For the inside, Alpha-N went with some Fischer upholstery and alcantara, while also installing a couple of Recaro seats.
