BMW Builds a Shape-Shifting Car Out of Cloth

with 2 comments

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.

  1. That car is hot.

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