Magna concept car will debut at 2012 Geneva Motor Show

According to PR Newswire, on February 29, Magna International, a global supplier of automotive parts and components, announced in Graz, Austria that its subsidiary, Magna Steyr, will be launched during the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The concept car named MILACoupic - a display car that combines the three concepts.

As the sixth concept car in the MILA Innovation series, MILA Coupic is a streamlined SUV that can be converted into a sports pickup or convertible. “The MILACoupic is a very outstanding work, through which we can show our customers unique product design and excellent engineering research and development capabilities. Customers expect this level of Magna. Vendors can provide them with innovative solutions to help them meet the increasingly demanding requirements of the automotive industry.The MILACoupic has achieved the multi-functional concept through the application of technologies such as flexible seat systems, sunroof modules and innovative materials. ."

MILA Coupic combines three different car concepts: an elegant SUV sports car, a versatile and robust pickup, and a romantic open-air feel. With its unique adaptability, MILACoupic has opened a completely independent new market in the field of sports cars.

This new concept car can accommodate up to five people. With the roof off, the vehicle is a vibrant SUV. Innovative soft skylights provide exceptional sports car contour visuals. The large glass panels in the soft folding roof not only give the exterior of the car a perfect shape, but also allow passengers to see everything in an unbeatable environment. With two separate sunroof modules, the front and rear sunroof sections of MILA Coupic can be opened completely independently. In this way, passengers can experience the typical convertible feel.

The MILA Coupic's tail provides the most functionality. By opening the rear side sunroof on the driver's side and using the innovative seat kinematics module, a sports car can be converted into a functional pickup with the touch of a button. The rear seat module is folded upwards to free up ample loading space to meet certain loading requirements, such as loading sports equipment or bicycles.

The folded seat module effectively seals and separates the cab, freeing the passenger space from airflow, rain, and dirt, and creating a high level of comfort and safety for the occupants.

MILA Coupic's uniqueness lies in its innovative skylight system, which consists of two electrically-controllable independent folding sunroof modules. Two soft folding sunroofs are equipped with transparent glass elements embedded in the fabric material. A wide and narrow glass material is intertwined, and it is very eye-catching from the outside in both closed and open states. This design also supports the function of soft folding sunroof.

The front sunroof system above the front seats can be opened from front to back and provide a convertible experience for passengers in the driver and front passenger seats. The rear skylight system above the rear seats and the loading area can be opened in both directions and provide the best variability for the loading area.

MILA Coupic combines textiles, glass, sunroof modules, and seating technology. This design is inspired by the concept of the popular sports shoes design and its integration with elements such as automobiles and textile materials.

MILA Coupic's car architecture is designed at different levels: the bottom layer is the core of operational control, it provides stability; the middle layer represents safety and comfort; and the top layer is the property of the car - both sports car dynamics And the elegance of the sports car. In the first half of the car, dynamics and wildness predominated; at the same time, strength was taken into account. After careful consideration, the volume concept of MILA Coupic's second half (pickup part) was proposed. In addition, designers have particularly lengthened the roof line and aligned with the ideal sports car style to achieve the function of containing folding mechanical products.

Large-size wheels can meet off-road needs. The color scheme is a fresh, vibrant metallic green, called "Blurred Green," combined with a mercerized white mother of pearl, called "Crystal White", and a high-gloss aluminum that reinforces the modern look.

It is reported that more than 100 years of automotive manufacturing experience and a full range of services have enabled Magna Steyr to become a design and manufacturing partner of the world's leading and independent brand automotive manufacturers. Its service scope includes design, vehicle contracting engineering, and sunroof systems. And tank system four areas.
