BMW Gina Concept Car Made From Textile Fabric

BMW Gina 01

BMW unveiled the GINA Light Visionary Model concept car on June 10, 2008 and shows the direction of how BMW’s design may take. The concept car uses fabric as the skin over a wire frame and carbon fiber and allows drivers to change the shape of the car at will.

The flexibility of car can be seen when the car door or bonnet opens and it is also much lighter as it is made out of light weight materials. The BMW Gina Visionary Model concept car may or may not find its way into production but it may be the precursor of new material alternatives that are lighter and more fluid.

In the video, Chris Bangle gives us a first impression of the ideas behind the process of sculpturing an experimental study.

      [...] it’s unlikely I’ll ever buy one.  This does not stop me dribbling onto my desk about their new concept car for two reasons.  1) It’s it probably the most threatening looking fucker I’ve seen in [...]

      Does this mean we’re going to have to dress the car as well as the children in the morning?

      The concept aims to bring the gap between car and driver much closer together with its ability to take on a number of different shapes and designs from the touch of a button.

      It’s not made to be driven on “real” roads …. it’s a concept car . Concept cars never go into production directly; most of them are only made to be admired not driven.

      This concept is very elegant and it identifies with the BMW brand and attitude.

      Great post. Stumbled it !
