Lovos means Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity. Therefore, the concept BMW Lovos project is not like the usual process of designing, crafting, vehicle acquisition and management, rather, the project is a meaningful symbol of conscious self-restraint, that can encourage the viewer to discard their common ideas about the number of exterior elements that a car should required. The body of Lovos contains 260 interchangeable identical particles that can open and close like fish scales. These elements are mobile and help gathering sun energy through solar cells by changing their positions as soon as the car starts running. The interior is warm and soft, making a distinct contrast between technical and mechanical appearance.

The Veritas RS III has either a BMW sourced 480hp V8 or a 600hp V10 engine and therefore, the car achieved the incredible 0-100km/h acceleration in just less than 4 seconds. Top speed of this car has been recorded over 200mph and the price will start from $375,000. Both the front and rear view of this car is brilliant and quite confusing as a speedcar. This left hand drive car has room for only the driver and the seat is also placed quite in a distance from the hood. There is only one rear view mirror, placed in a wired position, in the middle of the car just beside the driver. Placing the exhaust pipes has been done quite weirdly too, on the car’s backside just over the branding.

It is in continuation with the last revamping that was done for the entire line of coffee machines along with the design arm of the BMW group. It has been dubbed as Saeco Xsmall, and is the smallest of its model. Overall the product has design elements of its previous products i.e. Primea, Talea & Odea. The interface of the product is quite user friendly, with a centralized knob. Also the color combination that has been incorporated by the designers is quite contemporary and surely will find many takers.
