Re: BMW GINA Concept

I think there's a "va" missing, but in any case it might be their take on memmory alloys or whatever they're called

I'm really trying to figure out how they're going to combat idiots with knives in parking lots...

Re: BMW GINA Concept

Okay, I absolutely love the ideas behind this vehicle, however, I do have to laugh at the name....

yeah, it's "jean-uh", like the girl's name, but just seeing it spelled out brings out the child in me

Re: BMW GINA Concept

I wonder how that skin would be kept from rippling at highway speeds. But this SURE is excitingly creative. Bangle does some good drugs.

Re: BMW GINA Concept

That could be the reason for the shape changing that you may or may not have seen in the video and pictures. The car, when put into certain settings seems to get slightly larger, meaning the skin on the vehicle is being drawn taught. Maybe it winds up changing shapes depending on the speed that the vehicle is traveling. Did you notice that the spoiler can also grow or shrink? Pretty cool stuff.
