BMW Lovos Student Design Project

What a bunch of narrow-minded, ignorant people you are. You missed the entire premise.

What lines? The only ones I see are broken up by "fish scales"

So you are saying that design projects don't need to have anything to do with reality? Isn't that just a huge waste of money then? I think a design project should provide a look in to how cars could look in the (near) future. They shouldn't be about crazy ideas of an 8-year-olds' fantasy car that is covered with sharp pointy things. I didn't mention technology in my post. I understand that this is a design project, not a technology project. But still it has scales on it that need some sort of technology to operate them. And if they produce electricity, they need even more technology. Besides, those scales don't seem to have any electrical connectors to take the electricity created to a battery. And I think it would be a little dangerous if the electricity would be moved with those actuators that move the scales. So it's the same as if I drew a piece of crap on a paper and told everyone that this thing produces huge amounts of electricity and it will save the world. Because I have a vision of it. I'm not asking a prostitute to play chess. I'm asking a prostitute to look like a human being and to give me some sex.

I dont think BMW is in the business of Abstract Art!

I think these two represent proper design projects: http://www.worldcarfans.com/109042218877/-audi-student-design-project-intelligent-emotion--future-mobility http://www.worldcarfans.com/109082121188/student-design-aston-martin-volare-concept They look like cars that could one day become reality. The Aston in a not so far away future.

Concepts should be abstract. Unattainable. Wild. With a sense of identity. This is all of those things. It is wild and abstract, yet there is a direct connection to the bmw of the past, present, and immediate future. The turbine wheels especially do it for me.

Where is the BMW identity? I don't see anything else telling me it's a BMW besides the BMW logo on it. Who says concepts should be abstract? We live in a real world, we need real cars. Yes, a concept is something that doesn't need to go in to production. But a concept is supposed to show what to expect in the future.

just forget it, Kepe, you'll never understand...

The point of design study's like this is to think outside the box... the car or whatever transportation system you are designing should include inexistent technology... what if in the future electricity could be safely conducted without using wires, what if you no longer need batteries to store energy... think beyond your time. This kind of projects and thoughtful creative thinking is what leads to the creation of new technology and helps the human race keep advancing.

Ha!

it's the Chickenwagen !

the whole point of a concept is to exaggerate certain features in order to draw attention. i bet this young lady will have a nice career. and maybe her idea will have practical applications. the SLR and Veyron already have air brakes that are highly effective at high speeds, maybe they will make a car with directional air brakes.

@ scratchy996 Yes but a Veyron and SLR are among the fastest cars in the world , they almost need air brakes. And when I said there is no point I meant there is no point in worrying about a design study.

no , it's a girl :)
