BMW Builds a Shape-Shifting Car Out of Cloth

Instead of steel, aluminum or even carbon fiber, the GINA Light Visionary Model has a body of seamless fabric stretched over a movable metal frame that allows the driver to change its shape at will. The car — which actually runs and drives — is a styling design headed straight for the BMW Museum in Munich and so it will never see production, but building a practical car wasn’t the point.

That car is hot.

No more keying a car though… people will just slash a slit in your door.

That’s super car. I want it, but red BMW seems better:)

In the case I was ever going to decide to buy a BMW, I would hold out for the middle age refresh because they usually do it with each design for what? past 20 years now? Even the e30 had a middle age up-date.
