BMW GINA MODIFICATION-FRONT WHEEL VIEW

The key to influencing the development of tomorrow’s mobility lies in our readiness to challenge what is established and the ability to present new options. In order to meet these objectives, BMW Group Design to touch the potential of BMW GINA Light Visionary principle (Geometry and Functions In “N” Adaptions) which promotes innovative thinking by allowing maximum freedom of creativity. BMW GINA Light Visionarydramatic yield different solutions that affect the design and functionality of future cars. BMW GINA Light Visionary Model is an optical expression of selective, future-oriented concepts which provide examples of how and to what extent this transformation.

BMW Group Design is not just interested in answering questions about how the car of the future will look but primarily want to explore the creative freedom offered. Both these aspects are influenced by the requirements that future cars are expected to meet. All the ideas that the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model presents because it comes from the needs and demands of customers concerning the aesthetic and functional characteristics of their car and their desire to express your personality and lifestyle. BMW GINA Light Visionary Model has a virtually seamless outer skin, a flexible textile cover that crosses a moving substructure. Each function is only revealed if and when they are needed.

With this model, BMW Group Design to start a fundamental discourse about the characteristics that will affect the development of cars in the future. Therefore fundamentally different from concept cars, which reflect what is expected of them by applying the elements as much as possible in future production models. Conversely, theBMW GINA Light Visionary Model is a vision of future cars and serves as an object of research.

BMW GINA MODIFICATION-FRONT VIEW DESIGN

Putting vision into practice tomorrow automobile company, BMW Group Design has developed a two-seater roadster with the unique dynamic proportions that are typical of the brand. BMW GINA Light Visionary Model takes the design a statue that has been established by a number of production cars to a conclusion, a new unparalleled. The front of the car and the side, including the door, make a single disturbed, intact seamlessly integrated to form an optical as well as structural units.

In order to create this view, it is necessary to move beyond all previous concepts of the car body design configuration, and materials. Therefore, the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model has dispensed with body elements commonly found on production vehicles such as front apron, bonnet, side panels, doors, wheel arches, roof, trunk and rear deck. Instead, a new structure with a minimum of components has happened to them. Special cloth material, very durable and highly resistant expansion across a metal structure. This new material offers designers a much higher level of freedom of design and functionality.

The body consists of only four elements. The largest component extends from the front of the vehicle to the edge of the windscreen and down the sides to the edge of the rear door. Large side panels start at the front where the rocker panels emerge and run all over the rear wheel arches to the rear. The fourth component is the central rear deck element.

An innovation breaks new ground: car with a flexible outer skin.

BMW GINA MODIFICATION-MUFFLER VIEW

Innovation in a flexible outer skin breaks new ground in automotive engineering. Revolutionary solution opens a new design, production and potential functions. It has a great impact on the interaction between driver and car and improve it by offering a wide selection of entirely new. Some elements of the substructure is moved. The driver can move them by means of electro and electro-hydraulic controls. It also will change the shape of the outer skin, which thus can be adjusted with the current situation, the requirements of the driver and also can increase the functional range cars.

A most striking example of this is the design of the lamp. In the normal position, when the light is not active, ie when there is no necessity to illuminate the road, they concealed under a special cloth. Once the driver turns the lights, the contour changes in the front end. Activated by the metal structure that lies beneath, previously closed fabric cover opens to the right and left of the BMW kidney grille and reveals the BMW double head-lights. The rear and rocker panel of the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model can also adapt both the shape and function with the driving situation in hand. Both can change the shape of their outer skin to meet the requirements for automobile drivers, especially dynamic.

This concept also takes into account a potential interaction with aerodynamic requirements. Design of the rear element allows for automatic lifting of the rear spoiler when a certain speed is reached, thus creating extra downforce on the rear axle at high speeds. Due to the fact that the back of a whole, including the spoiler, is covered with a sheet of material that reaches as far as the rear compartment of the interior, the homogeneous shape of the rear of the car will not be affected by changes to the spoiler position. Mechanical system that moves the elements remains concealed.

The turn indicators and taillights function without changes to form the outer skin. Their position, however, is only expressed after activation. Emitted light shines through the translucent fabric cover, which is permeable to light but not transparent.

Rocker panel shows the flexibility authorized BMW GINA Light Visionary Model with the same impressive performance. Airway can be optimized if necessary. A corresponding movement of the metal structure of an adjustment of the rocker panel contour to allow better air flow. At the same time, an additional line of protruding rocker panel appears. Optimization of aerodynamic and long lines can be much tailored to the driving situation in hand.

BMW GINA MODIFICATION-REAR VIEW

Special fabric cover ensures accurate reproduction of material folds.
The fact that the surface of the body is designed with a flexible fabric cover across a metal substructure means that the materials used must meet demanding requirements. Industry produced hybrid fabric made from stabilizing mesh netting support and the outer layer that is water-repellent and resistant to high and low temperatures suitable for this application.

Besides, important material properties is the maximum level of dimensional stability. It must remain dimensionally stable irrespective of temperature and humidity affected the expansion of severe and continuing even after. Dimensional stability helps maintain the surface tension of the cover for the long term. The movement of individual body elements creates folds in the material reproduced accurately. In his choice of material BMW Group Design was inspired by exterior and interior architecture. Expertise of seat pattern designers working for BMW Group Interior Design was successfully applied to cut the fabric webbing to size with maximum precision, determine the strategic position of attachment points and stretch the material. As a result, the surface is very balanced and stable on hold because of tensions between the two points clear, the line is very accurate.

This special fabric is supported by a metal wire structure. At certain points, high-strength metal is enhanced by carbon struts with a higher flexibility. They are used especially for round, moving contours with a radius very narrow.

The use of large fabric areas and the possibility of changing the surface contours by moving individual parts of a metal mesh that lies beneath it create a new relationship between form and function. If additional cooling air is required, the BMW kidney grille at the front of the vehicle can be opened. Because the overall surface of the special fabric covering remains unchanged, the contraction at the front of the vehicle, which is necessary for functional reasons, be compensated for by extra tension in other areas. The result is a tug-optic interaction between various body parts that introduces a new dimension to design the sculpture. Widening kidney grille openings is activated by movement of the metal mesh in front of the side panel. This creates more tension, which becomes visible with the emergence of an additional character line. The development of this new contour tenses the front of the vehicle: the kidney grille opens.

Innovative body structure introduces new functional dimensions.

Fit high precision metal mesh material that also allows surface changes without a decrease in tension. In this case, the opening of the surface by moving the respective steel mesh struts creates precisely defined folds in the material. TheBMW GINA Light Visionary Model uses this option to display functions in accordance with the opening of the hood of a conventional vehicle. Material that is open in the middle of the engine cover and can be folded to the right and left along an opening line of about 0.5 meters long, to allow the driver or mechanic access to service points in the machine.

engine oil filler cap, cooling and wiper water tanks are now open for servicing. Opening and closing mechanism similar to medical doctors in the traditional bag, where clip-lock fasteners held together in the middle of the rails.

Effect of surface material draping is even more impressive accurate when the door opened. They swing both outwards and upwards. The high number of attachment points for the fabric cover positioned at the front of the car or on the edge of the rear door to create clear and perfectly reproducible bulk of material. This drape is limited to the area between the edge of the front door and side panels. After the door closed, the folds in material disappear completely, leaving the surface, very fine material stretches.

The interior: discourse between driver and vehicle.

In a, the variability of the interior, and function unite in an indissoluble. Whenever selected functions are accessible, the driver also change the appearance of individual car elements. Once again, variability is adjusted according to the needs of car drivers. This creates a close interaction between driver and car in various different situations.

When the car was parked, the steering wheel and the round instruments – rev counter, speedometer and fuel gauge, which is vertically arranged on the center console, are in idle position. This provides the driver with maximum comfort upon entering the car. Likewise, the seat only assumes the position and shape optimized functional if and when the driver sits on top of it.

At that point, the headrest, previously firmly integrated into the back of the chair, climbed up automatically. At the same time, the movement of the steering wheel toward the driver and the instrument panel moves in the same direction. Information about the best driver-specific position of both steering column and seat is stored in the transducer. Machine started just by pressing the start / stop.

Smooth transition of interior and exterior are typical of BMW convertibles reinterpreted by the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model. Cloth that covers the rear deck runs into the interior and stretches across the driver and front passenger seat. The same material used for the design of the surface of the door trim and armrests. Shift lever in the center console stand out from tightly stretched textile bellows.

Driver’s seat and front passenger look out through the windshield tends sharply with the rear view mirror integrated into its frame. side view mirrors are connected to the frame window. A vertical dividing bar located at the center of the narrow windscreen harks back to the typical glass division of traditional roadsters.

Innovative thinking put into practice: BMW GINA Light Visionary Model.

With BMW GINA Light Visionary Model, BMW Group Design focuses on the various issues that will determine the future conception of mobility.

This shows the result of intense research into design, functionality materials, and production. All ideas that have been put into practice in the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model derived from the same motivation: to challenge conventional and previously pursued solutions. Searching for an alternative option has produced a variety of different requirements that potential solutions are expected to meet. The main focus is on providing general versatility and serve the needs of customers with advanced solutions. In accordance with the GINA principle, every increase in the function of helping to create an emotional bond between the driver and their car. The new solution also allows for rapid production options, flexible and cost effective.

Every innovation demonstrated by the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model also contributes to clear resource management is optimized. In an effort to sustainability is one of the central issues of the GINA philosophy, new materials and manufacturing processes are expected to consume less resources and energy than previous solutions. Therefore, the infrastructure used for manufacturing cars that are built in accordance with the GINA principle, has also changed. Making process requires the tools fewer model-specific, and more high-quality skilled specialists. In all the areas mentioned above, the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model has provided inspiration for more intense research into ideas conceived as a result of maximum creative freedom.

Emotional appeals roadster models and visionary prospect of future cars.

Solutions conceived as part of this philosophy are not considered separately, but have been pooled in integrating vision – a vision that is expressed in the context of an automobile, an incredibly attractive. Basic features roadster with eight-cylinder combustion engine under the front stretch that apply motive power to the rear wheels to move the car along the road defines this context. The synthesis of elementary visions and thin driving pleasure expressed by the appearance of the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model has a very striking emotional impact. Only a special appearance of the car pulled to the original design that creates natural aesthetic look can bring to light the importance of innovation are presented.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model builds bridges between vision and reality by presenting a number of features with a striking similarity to those found on production vehicles. The Roadster is located at 20? alloy wheels with cross-spoke design with matt silver finish. Car body composed of very light aluminum space frame. Two double tailpipes for the rear exhaust system, third brake light integrated into the height-adjustable rear spoiler, an air splitter at the front and rear-end diffuser in a carbon design also meet the standard production vehicles.

Nevertheless, the GINA Light Visionary Model theBMW maintain its character as an object of research. This shows the innovative strength of BMW Group Design and its ability to challenge what is established, to find new solutions and to interpret in the context of future car at a high aesthetic level. This car is a logical continuation of the GINA principle in action. GINA principle has resulted in various innovative concepts and has production vehicles in a way that a completely new and unprecedented by other car manufacturers.

BMW Group Design uses concept cars such as BMW concept car CS1 of 2002 as a step on the road to put a particular vision into practice. This CS1 was the first to present features such as the basic principle of the innovative control system – with BMW’s iDrive. Independent from all other innovative features shown by car concept, iDrive has become a series production feature.

Similarly, the GINA principle led to an innovative manufacturing method that allows manufacturers to decorate outer skin components that have been preformed by conventional methods with individually configured, high-precision contour lines prior to their reintegration into the manufacturing process. Rapid manufacturing methods used for this process was first used during the production of hoods for the BMW Z4 M Roadster and BMW Z4 M Coupé. In this model, the finished hood has received two different contour lines prior to painting. It is not produced by a pressing tool but arise into the metal with pin-point precision by a steel pin-guide robot.

Both examples illustrate challenging route from a vision to concept and final series production that is not always straight and direct. By GINA Light Visionary Model, BMW Group Design shows where this route begins. Not all innovations shown by the GINA Light Visionary Model will proceed to the next stage. Overall, however, the visionary look into the future shows the extent to which the BMW Group employs creative potential in an attempt to answer the challenges of tomorrow’s mobility.
