BMW Lovos Futuristic Concept Car

The BMW Lovos Concept by Anne Forschner from Pforzheim University has a body made of 260 identical movable parts which integrate air-braking and photovoltaic functions.
The BMW Lovos ("Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity") Concept is a design study by Anne Forschner that showcases an original approach to car design.

It is based on fundamental questions: "How many parts do we use to build the exterior of vehicle? How would a car look like, if it was build by just one (recurring) piece?"

The result of an experimental research is a vehicle that is made by 260 identical, exchangeable pieces which are fixed with a hinge on a substructure.

The individual pieces are movable, which allows the surface of the vehicle to be closed – like the scales of a fish – or opened to the environment.



These pieces work like airbrakes and are also photovoltaic, following the movement of the sun when the vehicle is stationary.
