It is quite funny how jelousy and envy always clouds a persons judgement, provided there is any.

I looked at the photos, and I couldn’t help but notice one picture had the bonnet separated in the center, the other didn’t! That kinda took me by surprise, don’t see much like that very often… or at all. But I really like the “human characteristics” that they supposedly put into it. The thing I probably like the most is the bonnet when it “opens”, reminds me of a rib cage with the ridges in the fabric revealing the “heart”, or engine. The headlights probably surprised me the most. I don’t know how this would work if you got a large tree limb or something puncture it in a tightly stretched spot however.

The car would be sheathed in material that any Cop or Soldier would love to wear into action. Stuff that can take small arms fire, being stabbed with a knife or anything larger than a two penny nail, being set on fire, and being left in the sun for months or years on end. Such materials already exist. They are so tough you need power tools to cut it and steel will melt before it burns and is water and stain proof.

Really do need to study aircraft materials going back a few decades.

No hail or ding damage ever again. A body that weighs about 40 lbs, can change shape to met the needs of the driver, usually a sports car (I can’t see this on a family or luxury car – forget trucks). Want to change body colors, just pull a few – dozen snaps and pull on a new “suit”.

Real Active aerodynamics, Easy change body coloring and schemes, new design possibilities, and the most interesting Non-hybrid car technology, in a long time.

Gods, this cars concept is so cool and doable it is nearly insane. Interweave Kevlar ribbons, Synthetic polymer threading, Fine wiring mesh for firmness, basically the same formula as heavy body armor, Seal the cloth, even add fiber optics to almost turn the cars body into a video screen…

This is nuts! I love this idea. The best one BMW has had in years!

The eyes are pretty cool. That’s it, though.

There is a difference between thinking “outside the box” and thinking “with your head up your ass.”

Strange how some people don’t quiet get how advanced aircraft technology is over automobile technology that when a company tries it one a concept that they instantly say it is “stupid” or otherwise a bad idea. Imaginer how much better cars could be if, when responsibly used, aircraft material technologies were used to make car lighter, faster, and more flexible.

I would lay odds that we will see a super or exotic sports car with an adaptive cloth body in the next ten years.

The car could have been another color though. Silver is so over played it is actually quite boring now. The car looks mostly featureless with out some color scheme or just another color to give the car a personality that Is there but masked under that bland neutral silver coloring. Maybe different colored lights or environment?

Cool idea though. Boring execution.

say what you want but bangle has influenced alot of cars
