GINA -the car that's alive

Its' or should I say 'she ' is an concept car from BMW. GINA: Geometry and Functions In "N" Adaptations is a shape shifting car which has a non-metal exterior made of cloth like material. GINA behaves (yes behaves) like it has a skin on the exterior.Although GINA is presently made only as an exhibit for the BMW museum, it has opened a new wave of creativity into the world of automobile designing.The new concept called the GINA philosophy is believed to become a base on which futuristic cars are going to be designed where they will achieve a higher emotional level.
One may feel this is not worth it since GINA is not a practical product,the dramatic change it could bring in the mind of the designers will help them to think beyond and try out new things they have never tried before. GINA has definitely brought in new perspectives in terms of innovation in automobile designing.
Christopher E. Bangle, Head of BMW Group Design, speaks with conviction when he says: "Personal customer requirements will broaden the context of our products and change the core values that define our industry along the way.The GINA philosophy is nothing but Concept over Dogma...that's it"
