Imagine that you could drive a Honda Jazz, but with a Type R specification and look; or a BMW i3, but beautified and powered by the M Division. It might sound crazy, but the world we live in makes every imagination a reality. Especially in the virtual reality. We have received these crazy renderings, which show four seriously unlikely hot hatches. And although you might not be into this kind of endeavor, I promise it is worth the view!The images depict four of the most famous hatches out there, done with the thought that under their hood sleeps a powerful engine. The list includes Honda Jazz Type R, Ford Ka ST, Volkswagen up! GTi and the BMW M i3

Volkswagen Up! GTi
Starting with the Volkswagen up! GTi, this is probably one of the most unthinkable projects to have a production variant. The design shown in the render was inspired by the historical Golf GTi. The designer has envisioned the up! GTi powered by the engine that drives the turbocharged VW Mk7 Golf GTi capable of 217 horsepower. A true rocket!
Honda Jazz Type R
As a huge fan of Honda and specifically of Type R, I find this project very cute and at the same time crazy to grasp as a reality. “Small but fast” was the obvious idea behind this render. Envisioned with the legendary VTEC engine under the hood, along with a huge aero kit, this Jazz is ready to blow away any speed-addict within the blink of the eye.
Ford Ka ST
The Ford Ka ST is not only small, but very good looking, and in fact looks a lot like a Ford Focus ST on this image. It is probably the best picture among four, which would make the perfect production vehicle. Its advantages are that it is small in size, low in weight and filled with lots of power from its turbo engine! In other words it is everything that is worth adding the “ST” letters behind the name.
BMW M i3
At last but not least comes the BMW M i3, which is no longer electric, but a proud hybrid. This picture shows how the hot-rodded performance variant of everybody’s favorite Teutonic battery-powered city car would look like. And since it wears the famous M badge, you can expect performance miracles. In addition, the BMW on the render is fitted with rough bodykit, sports suspension and buckets.So, which one do you like the best? And would you like to see such production variant in the future?
Fostla.de BMW M3 Coupe has stunning looks, which perfectly complement its untamed inner nature. In other words, if you have the regular BMW M3, and want to “touch” it a little bit, the team at Fostla.de is definitely offering an option to consider. In this way, your ordinary automobile will be transformed into a unique piece of extraordinary art.The exterior looks of the model are mainly defined by its “color”, which in this case has been achieved with the help of high-quality adhesive vinyl. The full vinyl wrapping has been preferred over the partial or full bodywork paint finish. This is the truth behind the mirror-like exterior of the car, by applying the full vinyl wrapping in black-chrome. Note that even the headlights, taillights and the windows were tinted, to be in harmony with the overall design.
Precisely, they have used carbon fiber from Carbonfiber Dynamics parts to upgrade the BMW M3 Coupé.

Have you spotted the impressive gray powder-coated Breyton GTS 20—inch wheels, fitted with matching tires. The appearance of the M3 was further enhanced by the spacer discs and the moderate lowering. The new sport exhaust system is not only responsible for the fantastic sound, but for the mighty power as well.Well done, Fostla.de, well done!
