BMW GINA Light Visionary Concept Car

The GINA (Geometry and Functions In N Adaptions) Light Visionary Concept Car was unveiled earlier this week after a teaser video was released to the world’s media. The body of the concept is made from a metallic cloth which is wrapped around a moving metal frame that is controlled by electro-hydraulic devices allowing the model to change shape and also hides the inactive features of the car when they are not in use such as the headlights and even the engine. My initial reaction was “WOW”!!! I think this is a revolutionary concept that definitely gets you thinking of where the future of automobiles can go. Thumbs up to BMW again for thinking outside the box and being leaders not followers as so many car designers like to play it safe when it comes to concepts and design.
