BMW Concept GINA

"Bangle and his team put convention in the box for this design piece, installed last week in the BMW Museum in Munich, choosing to ask instead what is really required of an automobile. The GINA concept has done away with the traditional rigid metal skin, making use of a spaceframe covered with a collection of metal and carbon fiber wires, in turn covered with a taught textile fabric cover. Those wires are able to move and change shape under the skin of the car, allowing for a multitude of morphing shapes. The concept’s most dramatic applications seem to be in the human eye-like way the headlights are revealed, and the equally living manner in which engine access is granted."
