On the outside, the car has a modern, streamlined SUV design with sleek LED lighting, a distinctive V-shaped front fascia, and clean, sculpted bodywork.

The VF 8 has a single electric motor on the front, producing 170 kW (228 hp) and 243 lb-ft, and the driver can choose between Eco, Normal, and Sport modes.
