VIDEO: BMW GINA Light Visionary Concept teased ahead of June 10th unveiling
Click above for a gallery of screen shots.
BMW is gearing up for the online unveiling of its latest design study, the GINA Light Visionary Model. Unlike the BMW M1 Homage concept, this one's actually a runner, as evidenced by the video posted below the fold, showing the concept being driven from the studio into a car carrier then unloaded at the BMW Museum in Munich.
No details about the roadster are available from the BMW-web.tv site, but judging by the open cockpit and massive width, we're expecting something akin the M1, sans roof and sporting many of the design cues found on the homage. Check back for more when the BMW GINA Light Visionary Concept is unveiled on June 10th.

Right, because you can tell exactly what it looks like from the photos/video provided. Try to come up with more thoughtful comments before you spit up that kind of garbage.

uhh...not really, but I can tell what the car looked like from other sources dillweed. Autoblog is not the only source for auto info dumus. Swallow that.

Show me those photos from your other sources. And keep in mind that this "dillweed" posts relevant topics on the site he is posting, not posting about other sources that can't been seen by others on the site. So I'm so sorry you are upset that your comment is so lowly ranked but please don't start name call and telling me to "swallow" anything when you make a comment without anything to back it up.

Find it yourself; we're not that close yet King...although after all of this spitting and swallowing..people might start talking...anywho, you might want to look under the original sketch from BMW North America labled 'California Spyder'...maybe even 'Z8'. These 'official' ...cough... sketches came out way back in 05 at the LA Auto Show. Nonetheless, who knows what the car name will eventually be. But you research and do your thing and I'll do mine. I'm sorry to have called you a name (forgive me?) and I'm sorry to have bruised your BMW loyalty. Please forgive me and I will keep in mind that Autoblog is the end all be all in automotive web-reporting.

Judging by the wheels and the general dimensions of this car, I have a feeling it's going to be quite the looker. Definitely looking forward to the unveiling.

Well no offence, but getting any idea of how the actual car looks by the look of the wheels is like judging a book by its cover! =D Like example, total driving ebook ( www.total-driving.com ) has an average cover, but kick ass info! haha
But on that note, the wheels do look really great, and im sure the rest of the car will compliment it!

Anybody know what artist(s) did the track that played with this? Or what track it is?

Yet another answer to a question nobody had. Thanks BMW.

That's why it's a Concept and not the BMW X6.

Well, the wheels look much better already than the Homage ones so that's a good start. Maybe this is a preview of perhaps (just maybe) another 8-Series?
Yeah it's a roadster, but still...maybe.

And test drivers who are native romance language-speakers will say as they step on the gas:
"VA! -Gina!"

uh seriously, you actually believed that was real? that's a major photochop. notice how it looks eriely similar to the E92 M3?
John Graham 11:36PM (6/05/2008)
Yeah, who was the bright one at BMW to call it the Gina? Probably the same person who decided the X6 was a good idea.
