Another attraction at the BMW Museum is Chris Bangle's GINA LightVision Concept. Situated on the last floor, the GINA Concept is all the same 1 of the virtually beautiful concepts designed to date by BMW.

GINA project started in 2001 and it was unveiled to the public for the first fourth dimension in 2008. GINA stands for "Geometry and functions In 'N' Adaptions" and it was designed past a team led past ex-BMW'due south caput of blueprint, Chris Bangle, who says GINA allowed his team to "claiming existing principles and conventional processes."

What makes GINA Light Concept special are the surfaces covering the aluminum wire chassis. The flexible, stretchable water resistant translucent homo-made fabric skin – polyurethane-coated Spandex, is resilient and durable. It resists high or low temperatures, does not keen or shrink and the movement does non slacken or harm the fabric.

GINA Concept 12 655x438 The body changes its shape according to exterior weather condition and speeds, and it also allows the driver to change its shape at will. The shape of the frame is controlled by electric and hydraulic actuators, for example, the headlights are revealed when small motors pull the fabric back in an eyelid like fashion.

At the rear-end, the taillights are visible through the soft cloth.

GINA features "bird wings" fashion of doors, a similar characteristic we've seen on the new Vision Concept. Admission to the engine can be gained through a slit that can open in the middle of the bonnet. Seeing the GINA Concept in person makes it fifty-fifty more than special and emotional and we came to capeesh the design language even more.

GINA Concept pattern has been rumored to serve equally a base for many upcoming BMW models, from the movable parts to the blueprint language.

As ever, lots of photos are bachelor for you, including some footage of the car.
