The BMW GINA will never become a car?

BMW is known for excellence in engineering. The design elements of society have traditionally been a little conservative, but the vehicle design has come a long way in the recent past. The foray into Formula One and experience are GINA given much credit for that.

GINA is the experimental vehicle built by BMW, which is ... good, very experimental. The car is constructed with a skeletal aluminum frame. This overlay is based with a spandex fabric which is very strong but very flexible. The skeleton framework is supplied with small electric motors that allow the car to turn into different forms. This is done while driving a computer to maximize efficiency, but also can be controlled by the driver to produce certain regards.

The general look of the GINA is based on the Z4 production form, but it has more to offer. The flexibility provides many unique features. For example, the car is a front engine design. How did you pop the hood? You do it from the car by selecting the appropriate command. The skeleton in the context of the "hood" and then divided by the middle and opens to allow access. The same goes for the lights, trunks and doors of the car, in one form or another. It is a beautiful design and unique as the first question is where can I buy one?

Unfortunately, the BMW GINA is not a production car. It is not even a limited production of the car. The vehicle was designed by the company to inspire designers and engineers to think beyond the typical 3, 5 and 7 of the series looks. In other words, you can look but you'll never drive unless you decide to buy the entire company or BMW have very interesting photos of the CEO!

All is not lost, however. The elements of the BMW GINA concept almost certainly be incorporated in future cars. The biggest problem will be security and life of the product. Bone and the structure must be put to safety standards. All indications are, it can be done without too much problem. The biggest problem is making the last car. The skeleton should not be a big problem, but the spandex like material? Constant exposure to sun, debris from the road and the heat of the internal components could be serious damage to equipment. Given the advancement in materials, but you can imagine a solution can be found.

The BMW GINA ever become a production car? Unlikely. Yet many of the concepts behind the car will undoubtedly start to appear in the production of cars. Now if we could get performance in the BMW F1 car, I was really buying! 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds
