This BMW Has Moving Skin!

This is the BMW Gina, a BMW concept car that has moving skin. This crazy concept car was arguably the beginning of BMW’s journey of making cars that seem “alive” - like the BMW iX Flow, i Vision Dee and the BMW Vision Next 100. The Gina is almost entirely covered in elastic skin and has a bonnet that splits open to reveal it's V8. Today Sergi shows you why the BMW Gina is one of the coolest concept cars in the world!

i'd call it va-gina the way the hood opens to reveal the engine.

Yep. That's definitely why they call it the Gina. It's a hard I.

[@THATDAMSPORTSHOW]

Polyurethane is pretty strong performance motor mounts use it that being said I thing it would take a brick through even then. Guess it depends on the thickness of it but little Rock 🪨 will undoubtedly bounce off I'd be more worried bout the cars around it with deflection off the material lol

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

​@@THATDAMSPORTSHOWlol every motor mount uses it. Polyurethane is an extremely popular material.....it's in everything. Paints, plastics, rubbers, deck stain, etc. It has nothing to do with strength 🤦‍♂️

[@valkyrione6630]

Yeah, gotta protect the gina. It's sensative

[@mile_high_topher]

I live in a state where they put gravel down for winter, and with the right durable fabric I could see this being a good thing compared to a paint job, which takes a beating during the snowy months.

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

@mile_high_topher yeah same actually lol. Just like the oil and chips they do a lot of these back roads with instead of blacktop. It's horror on paint/Clear coat but on fabric it might actually do less damage

[@HeraldofRighteousness]

This car is mostly only made for design and aerodynamics, it's not a practical daily driver. I love their ingenuity to create such an easy way to look at new body concepts.

[@recherth.robert]

The fact that it changes shape is fascinating. But the shape of that opening reminds me of something else.

[@Kepitano]

That's intended. Read the name again "Gina"... BMW Va-Gina xD

[@Jeffrey_Tyler]

I remember seeing this car for the first time like 15 years ago and thinking it was the most incredible car I'd ever seen. And it STILL lives up to that today.

[@JONINXBOX]

Thanks for posting this! I watched a video on this car about 10 years ago and it wasn’t the best quality but to see this now in broad daylight just shows how unique this concept is.. now my only question is how do you even wash something like that!?

[@laughingsaturdays2959]

I expected an alien to pop out of that hood.👽😁

[@mcclarinscott]

Love the Gina...shame they never made some version of it...the changeable organic flowing ines are stunning., the opening lights becoming expressive eyes, give a machine an animalistic believable character. If it were fully electric and range limited for city use only it would still be sensational at any pricepoint.

[@ElChokin]

Qué pasada!!! Impresionante, elegante, deportivo, chulo!!!👍

[@llayura82]

I love BMW. My 08 X5 had those lights that moved like eyeballs. Didnt even realize it until a while after. The lights on this one are badass😍😍

[@shubobtv]

It was called BMW GINA. Remember this from years ago when bmw unveiled this futuristic technology stating it takes around 2hrs or so to fashion the skin around the car. Amazing experimental stuff from back then!

[@moonsword1182]

It's like a morphing Terminator! Love this shape-shifing tech...bravo BMW!😊

Okay this was definitly way too ahead of its time. Wow, this car really has a true lost tech kinda vibe. Amazing that I will ever say this. I think the colour changing feature probally will get adopted around 2030 for the highest class of BMW's obv and probaly with a simpler version like only certain parts can change for example the colour of some lines.

[@MMiler]

Só faltava isso agora, um carro feito de " lona" 😂😂😂 Imagina a barulheira que isso faria em altas velocidades e qualquer detrito voando na pista rasgaria tudo isso. 💥

-How overengineered do you want it to be? -Yes.

[@ForrestGumpWR]

I love the design ❤ but there's so many moving parts... It's inevitable that the outer skin will fail with that many creases and wrinkles. Still looks cool 😎 but efficiency is my strong suit.
