Recently, the BMW has unveiled a new concept car a vehicle that can do exactly this, or else, change its shape in many ways. The Bavarian automaker has named it GINA Light Visionary Model Concept Car. And the car can assume different shapes due to the material its body is built from: cloth.
The fabric is placed over a meshwork of metal wires that can move, controlled by eletro-hydraulic devices. GINA, which stands for Geometry and Functions In N Adaptions, does not change only the exterior, but also the interior.
GINA is built over a Z8 platform, and probably equipped with the same V8 engine (it surely is a V8 engine under the cloth bonnet), the car is all about thinking automobiles in a different way.
