Bmw Concept Coupe

The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model that was seen via video being installed in the BMW Museum in Munich last week has finally been revealed, and the futuristic design study shows how BMW designers are thinking outside of the box when it comes to the materials that make up a car and also how the car relates to the driver. GINA stands for Geometry and Functions in N Adaptations, which basically means that designers from both BMW and BMW Group DesignworksUSA were allowed to throw out the rulebook. This is most evident in the GINA illumination Visionary Models outer skin, which is made unreservedly out of textile fabric thats pulled taut sorrounding a frame of metal and carbon fiber wires. The skeleton of the motorcar is controlled by electro-hydraulic devices and can actually move and change shape beneath the web constitution skin. For instance, the headlights of the concept can be alive exposed or hidden by the cars skin just like blinking eyes, and the hood opens from the center as the fabric parts to expose the engine. This idea extends to the interior, where BMW designers have made visible only those instruments that are called for at a certain time, while the rest of the time the same fabric interior blinks them out of view. The car itself looks somewhat like a Z4 Roadster, though after viewing the extensive gallery of high-res images below, youll be amazed how plenteous the outer skin looks like normal sheetmetal. Until, that is, you see how the doors open. They lift up in a semi-scissor fashion and since there are no exposed hinges, the fabric artfully binds up as the door swings revealed. While the design of the GINA brilliance Visionary Model is very Bangle-esque with convex and convex surfaces intermingling everywhere you look, it looks appropriate and natural here. The car is very much a concept, meant more to inspire BMWs own designers and engineers rather than excite the public, but now were excited about shape-changin, fabric-covered cars, anyway.
