Imagine your BMW body made entirely out of Cloth...

Hi Readers,

It has been a while since my last post... been away for quite a while, busy on something else. anyway, I found this most amazing article and out of the box design for a car. Thought I'd share it with you all...

A that most of you probably familiar with. Its the BMW... Yes meet GINA. the most creative yet bizarre idea came from BMW's engineers and designers allows its owner to change the shape of their BMW as they pleased.

the materials used in this BMW GINA is made entirely out of a specially create seamless fabric which stretched over a movable metal frame, but this design is just a concept design. so BMW lovers this is just one toys that you can not have. 

Imagine if this design really made it into the market, and if anything happens to this BMW of yours imagine this will be the first words that come out from your mouth " Oh S**T my BMW just torn apart" or try this "Let's UNZIPPED my BMW and see what's inside".... hehehe..

Since this design allows driver to change the shape at will. with voice activation feature this will be the best words to use to change the shape your your BMW-GINA ..." TRANSFORMED..." how cooooool is that yeah...

Again it is an out of the box design... just watch this YouTube and be amaze what a group of designers, engineer, visionaries think out of the box..


GINA was built six years a ago and its name actually stands for "Geometric and Functions in 'N' Adaptation. According to BMW, GINA was built on the Z8 chassis and has a 4.4-liter V8 and six-speed automatic transmission. BMW says the fabric skin – polyurethane-coated Lycra – is resilient, durable and water resistant. It’s stretched over an aluminum frame controlled by electric and hydraulic actuators that allow the owner to change the body shape.
