BMW Concept Car Has Skin, Skeleton, and Blinking Eyes

This angry-looking skinned beast is the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model. GINA, which stands for Geometry and Functions in 'N' Adaptations -- whatever that means -- is shelled in a textile fabric wrapped around a carbon fiber and metal frame.
This means that the skin and skeleton can bend and contract like, well, real skin and skeleton. For instance, the doors bend up, the headlights are exposed like eyeballs under eyelids, and the hood opens from the center like some sort of gaping maw to expose the engine. Even the interior is skinned and modular: only the dash displays that you need at any item are available via openings.
Don't get too excited, though -- this is purely a concept and nothing you'll see in a showroom any time soon. We can dream, though, right? [Source: Autoblog]

It's a Wannabe Batmobile. That aside would you trust cloth to keep stuff from skewering you in a crash?

This is why artists and visionaries are often accused of doing drugs.
