The BMW Lovos

The BMW Lovos makes creations by former BMW designer Chris Bangle seem rather boring.  BMW fans, prepare for a shock!

According to its designer, Anne Forschner, a graduate of Pforzheim University in Germany, Lovos stands for Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity, although the word simplicity is not what comes to mind when you see this concept.

The Lovos is composed of 260 panels of similar dimensions that are fully interchangeable.  Each exterior piece is covered in solar photovoltaic cells, which can follow the sun or act as individual brakes.  Therefore, we can only assume that the vehicle would be powered by electricity.

Even if the Lovos never becomes a reality, it raises an interesting question regarding how cars can be designed.  The idea of a single piece being repeated throughout a car opens many possible options for the future.
