Introduced in 2008 by the company BMWthe concept car "Gina" still makes an indelible impression on everyone who has ever seen this car. To great regret, BMW immediately announced that this is only an exhibition copy and will not go into the series. It was a kind of "muscle-flexing", a demonstration of opportunities and a hint on how the projects of the concern will look in the future. Therefore, the BMW Gina price is simply missing.
Gina is not just beautiful and impetuousroadster. The main "chip" of this car was the ability to transform depending on the needs - when the ignition is turned on, the panel turns to the driver, and at the speed the body changes its shape. Such opportunities provide the BMW Gina car Space Frame platform - a spatial tubular frame, covered with decorative panels. Although ... can I call the body of Gina panels?
Probably not. It's more like a skin covering a metal skeleton. A special elastic fabric, which allows the implementation of the transformation of the BMW Gina. The very process of turning on the headlights, opening the doors or the hood is simply mesmerizing.
Of course, BMW Gina is the result of a long andpainstaking work of designers and engineers. Each fold of the fabric is calculated in advance, each bend is functional. At a speed of more than 120 kilometers per hour, the car changes its shape independently, becoming more streamlined - the hood is "flattened", the thresholds are bent, and the rear is more prominent in the edge, which serves as a spoiler. The very name "Gina" is an abbreviation and stands for "Geometry In" N "Adaptations" - geometry in N-number of adaptations. The interior is also capable of adjusting to the driver and passenger - in addition to the aforementioned turn of the console to the driver, the seats vary in height and inclination, depending on the adjustments.
BMW Gina demonstrates to us what should becar of the future. In addition to innovative design, this design significantly reduces weight, which will positively affect fuel consumption and environmental friendliness. It should be noted that the engineers reacted to Gina with a sense of humor, adding to her an interesting opportunity to literally "blink eyes", that is, not including the light, with a short interval to close the open headlights. This feature makes the BMW Gina machine similar to a living creature, giving the image of a mechanical beast a touch of charm.
Undoubtedly, in the appearance of "Gina" there are notes fromroadsters BMW Z8 and Z4, and company representatives unambiguously hint that in the future several more models will borrow features from "Gina". Well, it remains only to wait for the new prime minister and hope that soon BMW Jina will appear on the roads.
