Very odd, but very awesome at the same time. I can almost guarantee you we wont see that here.

 

interesting concept, but just doesn't do it for me.

 

Oh thats nice, so instead of someone keying your car now, they'll rip your car now... :dunno:

 

i love this idea about how to 'dress' a car (no pun intended )

 

A brilliant departure from conventional thinking. Production worthy? Hard to say... but the only way to make progress in the world is to try something different.

 

I could see various components of a car being replaced with skinned components -- I would love headlights that opened like that without any seams (or even the hood).

neat concept, and I actually like the look of the car...

 

Picture #8 gave me a horrible mental image of an infamous internet picture.

 

Ugly as **** to me :dunno:

Ugly as **** to me :dunno:

But....... that's not really "the point".






I hate the internet.

 

That's one hot gina.

 

wow... thats seriously amazing, especially how the shape can change, based on the wiring system under the skin.

who know's if something like that would EVER see a real street... from the sound of the skin/wire design, it wouldnt hold up too well in a collision.

 

That's one hot gina.

It took 10 replies, but someone finally went there :lol:

I think the idea of the car is neat, if not production worthy. I don't like to iron any more than I have to, and ironing my car would suck I imagine. Plus I would like this better if it was done in morphing nano-particles. Like from Terminator

 

Wait...so seriously...long "i" or short "i"? All I'm thinking is that one chick from 40 Year Old Virgin. "I'm looking to get back up on that pogo stick."

It's a neat looking car...but even something like that was on the market, I don't think I could bring myself to buy it.

 

LMAO... guys, this isn't a car that's supposed to look good, nor is it a car you can even be in a market for. :lol:

 

Wow. That is a very good idea. Quite amazing if you ask me.

I think it looks great, personally.

As for "in the market," I didn't phrase that right...fixed.

My EXACT thoughs when I saw it. Bravo for somebody trying somerhing completely new, whether it works, or not! :thumbup:

 

I think it's amazing :wub:

lol... thats a sweet assumption.

i'm sure bmw engineers sat around a design table saying; "hey guys... let's do a balls-to-the-wall bmw prototype, but lets purposefully make it look bad. we'll give it skin though, to offset the fugly."

 

I like it. It looks like an updated Z8.

I said "it's not supposed to look good," not "BMW made it look bad on purpose." :screwy:

 

i think it's a cool concept, I mean, how much trouble do we go through to wash and wax our cars, only to get dinged when we go to the grocery store. You can't dent this, and obviously the underpinnings would be strong enough to hold up in a crash. They also might be able to be bolted in several sub assemblies, making post-crash repair easier.

Sure, it's kinda ugly, but from an engineering tech perspective, very cool :thumbup:

 

Cloth skin is not a new concept... WWI and some WWII airplanes used cloth as their skin. However, on a car I'm sure it's a first.

When I first saw how the hood opened I literally said "Hell yeah!"

EDIT: just watched the video and the headlights freakin' .... ohhhhhh man.

 

That is the coolest concept this side of the Exelero. The headlights opening and the taillights shining through the skin are fantastic. I almost **** a brick when I saw the engine expose itself. Nate

 

If I wasn't married, I might be in the market for a new gina.
