Oh, GINA

The GINA Light Visionary is a BMW Concept car which might redefine the dogma of form-making in the auto industry.

The outer skin of the car is fabric, which covers the metal substructure, almost like a tunic. The cover pulls back for certain functions, including the headlights, which are hidden beneath the fabric when not in use. The rear spoiler also lifts from the skin to create more down-force on the rear axle at higher speeds.

The GINA is driveable, with power coming from a 4.4 liter V8 mated to a six-speed automatic. It rides on 20-inch wheels and is built on a lightweight aluminum space frame.

Think of the potential of limitless variations of style. Amazing.
