Cars of the future? BMW makes cars made of fabric
A cloth-covered car is something you associate with Flintstones, not the most advanced automotive design of the 21st century. But BMW's latest car concept car is exactly the most advanced car - And it can reshape it with just a click of a button.
Gina cars - at first look like any other flashy sports car - but actually wrapped in cloth instead of metal plates. Open the car door and the cloth sticking to it will wrinkle like leather.
Turn on the headlights and openings like giant eyelids - designed to make this sporty two-seater convertible car more aerodynamic.
The tires are not single-piece - a single and very durable fabric - can be transformed with a push of a button to match the mood of the car owner, making it look angry or classic.
The outer tires can move and do things that metal shells can't do. This pioneer BMW car is based on the chassis of the BMW Z8.
Its tires are made of non-expandable woven fabric that can pull through mobile metal wires. Gina car without cap, hood.
Instead, a single cloth is covered on the chassis, covering the driver in the ultra-modern driver's cabin. Hydraulically controlled mobile parts are operated from the driver's control unit
There is no need to open a bonnet to see the dynamics of this flexible car. The opening and closing is similar to the mechanism of a traditional doctor's bag, in which the pegs are held in the middle by a horizontal bar.
Gina cars are not on display yet, but BMW hopes some of its future models will use this design.
Meanwhile, you can look at this car at the BMW museum in Munich.
