BMW Lovos: The Car Nightmares are Made Of
I have always been a fan of car concepts. Every year we see cars designed by designers who want to take them to the next level. With functionality and being environment friendly, a common trend in recent concepts one would think that there is no way designers can make mistakes. Enter the BMW Lovos.
Designed by 24 year old Pforzheim University graduate Anne Forschner, the name of the car means Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity. This name is derived from the 260 scale like photovoltaic cells that recurs at the car’s exterior. Each of these move and follow the sun possibly to power the car in a way.
One look at the concept will definitely send shivers down your spine as the car transforms into what can qualify as Stephen King’s “mangler” machine. Though, I laud the uniqueness of the design, I fear that 260 is such a big number for moving parts in a vehicle’s exterior. I wonder if those can last high velocities or if the designer really meant them to go off at one time to possibly fire at unsuspecting people.
If I see this car in the streets in the future, one thing is for sure, I would want to stay out of its way.
