Supercar design and the passion for concept cars is somewhat of a male-only segment, but we’re keen to welcome newcomers to the field, feminine designers included. Among them there’s Magdalena Schmid, who created the stunning BMW Pixie concept car you can see below. This is not only a vehicle, but also a symbol of values like “relationships, responsability and active participation in society”.
Pixie has an unusual surface, since it uses porous structures on the exterior side, with the advantage of achieving a bigger internal surface, when compared to the exterior one. This will be useful for features like an evaporative cooling system and what’s more interesting is that the car will sport upgrades to its architecture, just like the software/firmware updates.
For example, the electric drive train might become obsolete in a couple of years, so it’ll need to be upgraded. Since this is a car of the future, it won’t waste energy, recycling it instead via the infrastructure of streetlamps, providing energy feedback. Brilliant, feminine and eco-friendly! What more could we want?
