BMW GINA Light Visionary Model

BMW just unveiled its latest design philosophy — via a radical concept touted as the "game changer" for the "development of tomorrow's mobility," the new concept centers on the GINA principle, for Geometry and Functions in "N" Adaptions.

The first translation of the GINA philosophy into physical being is demonstrated in the Light Visionary Model concept. The only specs that may be familiar are the car's realistic 8-cylinder powertrain package residing in a roadster built from an aluminum space-frame chassis with two double tailpies and 20-in. alloy wheels at the corners. It is skinned by four large pieces of flexible material that can stretch and contract based on a number of substructures that can move about on the chassis with electro and electrohydraulic controls.

The fabric that covers the Visionary's body is constructed from waterproof and temperature-resistant mesh netting on the outer layer, supported by a flexible metal- wire structure underneath to maintain the skin's tension and smoothness.
