BMW made of fabric?
Anyone see this yet? I searched, so I don't think it's a re-post.

I know, I know... we're jeep men and anything non-jeep totally sucks!

But seriously-- this is pretty cool. Not sure about practicality, but it's fun to watch.

^^ I was thinking the same thing.

And when the 'hood' opened... it reminded me of when the turkey popped open in Christmas Vacation

i did some research on it.. and i think it has a carbon fiber body and this "material" is streached over it. you can change the hole shape of the car.

The fabric is shaped over a lightweight frame (tubular I think, carbon fiber maybe?) I like the styling of it and would buy one if it appeared just like that.

What do you do when someone slashes the body of you car in order to break in?
