The Lovos project was presented by a German student of design in collaboration with BMW. This is a futuristic, shape-shifting concept car that looks to the future.

Anne Forschner, a 24-year-old German woman who graduated in July with a Transportation Design degree at the prestigious Pforzheim University Germany. This project was created in collaboration with BMW, who were also the sponsors.

Lovos is a concept that aims to answer the question: How many parts are needed to make a vehicle’s exterior? What would a car look like, if it was built from one (repeating) piece

Depending on the question, there are a few answers. For this project, the first answer is 260. This is the total number of interchangeable, movable, and identical parts that are found on the exterior surface. They open and close like air brakes, which is similar to fish scales. They are also photovoltaic which means they produce voltage when they are exposed to sunlight. They would also follow the sun while the car was parked. The twelve pieces act as wheel covers and are sucked into the vehicle’s interior, forming turbine-like shapes.

The exterior of Lovos is tough and dangerous, but the interior is soft and comfortable.

The future of automobile design is still unknown. Therefore, something like the BMW Lovos may be an option. After seeing the Vision EfficientDynamics concept, anything is possible.
