Zee Germans. Leave it to them to push the very fabric (yeah...that was bad) of steeze with their latest concept car the GINA. Made of a new alloy chassis frame and four pieces of fabric, your whip will be dressed better than you for a change.
According to Wired:
The body is made from a seamless polyurethane-coated Lycra fabric stretched over a moveable aluminum frame allowing the owner to change the car's shape. Purely conceptual, there is no intention of this technology ever going into production.
Chris Bangle, head of design for BMW, says GINA allowed his team to "challenge existing principles and conventional processes."
"It is in the nature of such visions that they do not necessarily claim to be suitable for series production," company officials said in unveiling the car Tuesday. "Rather, they are intended to steer creativity and research into new directions."
GINA (Geometry and functions In 'N' Adaptions) has been in development for six years, the working model is built on a Z8 chassis and has four panels which take about two hours to put on.
2 hours to put on?! Any good Mogul can get dressed in like, 20 min tops. Only fitting that his car would be able to do the same! On the bright side, now you can change your car to fit those custom Vandals you copped, rather than the other way around. Sure its expensive, but thats why your pringle game is serious.
Hopefully with this we can finally see the death of those tacky 80s throwback cloth drop tops.
