BMW/Exa-sponsored project at ACCD

Art Center's BMW/Exa 7th term sponsored project, which we first reported on back in mid-February, recently had its final presentation at the conclusion of the Spring 2008 term.

To achieve this lofty goal, the co-sponsor on the project, Exa Corporation was going to provide both their engineering software PowerFLOW and their technical know-how to virtually test the students' Alias StudioTools design models and provide them with real world aerodynamic feedback.

New BMW Zagato Concept teased for Pebble Beach

A one-off collaboration between BMW and Zagato at Villa D’Este is one thing, but to follow that up a few months later with a Roadster version makes us think the protestations that the Villa D’Este car was a one-off were a tad disingenuous.
