New BMW "GINA"

"GINA Light Visionary Model" can change shape.
The search for increasingly lightweight body is a major challenge of cars designers . Aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber are the materials most used in the vehicle creation, but why not use fabric?
It was precisely what BMW did with its new concept car. Called "GINA Light Visionary Model", the model, a kind of cloth Z4M, following the brand name of 'organic design'.
Able to change form, the futuristic car has a chassis comprised of high-strength cables and carbon fiber bars.
Below the cloth, BMW says the GINA - German acronym for Geometry and Functions Adaptive - has a series of small electric-hydraulics motors, responsible for changes in the body format.
The headlights, front on both sides, are hidden under the cloth when they are turned off and open itself to be operated as eyelids, imitating the movements of the human eye.
Despite the fabric metallic appearance that covers the chassis, small details by car denounce the alternative material. By opening the doors is clearly sees the fabric, which is shrunken.
The engine access is like an open jacket, but instead of a zipper, electric motors take care of hood opening.
Even though it is something unthinkable for the current time, BMW says that the solution can be used in industry.
Who knew that mechanics in the future would be replaced by tailors...
