BMW recently revealed the GINA light visionary model concept car, an innovative new exploration in car design. Instead of the traditional steel and plastic body shell, the GINA concept uses a textile fabric starches over a wire Frame. This unique idea allows the car’s skin to change shape, stretching to match the position and curve of the Wire frame. This idea is demonstrated in the ‘blinking’; headlights and the flexibility of the car doors as they open. The project began by questioning the purpose of a car’s body and exploring new possibilities. Chris bangle, Director of design for BMW, discuses the project in the video below. The car is currently on show at the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany. For more images check out the post on designboom.
