On making my hourly trip to autotrader website i stumbled upon this on its news head lines.

 

I think this is fantastic, such a shame it will never make production but hell its an impressive technical exercise!

 

First thing for a long while thats given me a wow factor.

 

Truely phenominal

 

BMW GINA Concept.

dare i say its a little on the Jade Goody side?!

no you may not say that??! lol I dont think its fat ugly and vulgar??

sorry i do! It looks deformed, I really do not like the way new cars are going tbh

 

although im sure its technical merits far outweigh its looks!

 

It looks like its got a condom on!

It is only a concept, and if it ever goes into production, it will change in design. here's what top gear say...

your no fun!

 

I cant imagine in the slightest that that model will be any good, just an impressive demonstration of technology and ideas... THAT is "art" in my eyes.

 

At least it would be a safe car... wearing a condom!

proof of concept

I think it would grow on me..

never seen this before look quite a car .

Nice

Personnally, i hate it, looks like when the doors go up or what ever they do looks like the metal is getting wrinkles even thou it is the design

its fabric... not metal! Thats the genius about it, its a perfect body which can reform into the shape needed at the time... Head lamps, spoiler, doors etc are all blemishes on a cars body, it smooths all those away to make a single pure shape. Until you need the doors, light or spoiler of course. Then they magically appear!

Your welcome... Back to school for you!

 

It is an impressive thing though. I like clever stuff like that.

It's nothing new for the Germans, it's a zeppelin Airship with wheels.

 

Probably get nicknamed the Hindenberg :D
