The BMW Lovos Concept is an original design study of a futuristic vehicle with an exterior body made of 260 identical movable parts which integrate air-braking and photovoltaic functions. The designer is German design student Anne Forschner from Pforzheim University.

BMW Lovos Concept 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.
