The Audi R8 has the proportions of a mid-engine exotic already — vertical doors push it further into supercar territory. Here's what it actually costs and involves.
How Much Does It Cost?
A genuine VDI kit for the R8 (2016-2024) runs in the low-to-mid thousands, with pricing varying based on self-install vs. professional/mobile installation. It's a significant but reversible investment — no permanent changes to the car.
What's Included
- Hardened domestic-steel hinges, patented in the USA
- Gas shocks matched to the R8's door weight
- Full mounting hardware and instructions
- Free tech support
What to Expect
The kit bolts directly to the R8's factory mounting points. Most owners have it professionally installed given the car's value, though the conversion itself is fully reversible. Expect the same daily functionality — the vertical lift is an added option, not a replacement for normal operation.
Is It Worth It?
For a car already built to draw attention, vertical doors are one of the highest-impact visual upgrades available — more dramatic than wheels, wraps, or aero, and completely reversible if you resell.
