- Dycacian, on 06/10/2008, -6/+291I would love to see this tested on Top Gear.
- Oxygen, on 06/11/2008, -7/+259Do you have to take it to the Dry Cleaners when it gets dirty?
- thecarpe, on 06/11/2008, -3/+219Is there a fleece version for the Midwest?
- shieldsmw, on 06/11/2008, -4/+204thanks for explaining what "acronym" and "geometry" mean.
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -6/+159it's a car in a leotard
- Robcataus, on 06/11/2008, -7/+134This comment was taken straight from the blog comments... dugg down
- hermslice, on 06/11/2008, -2/+115OMG it winked at me!!!!!!!!!!
this a beautiful car to bad it probably will never get made - TempusFugitive, on 06/11/2008, -2/+110Quite lovely, but a bit vulnerable to douchebags with knives, I would think.
- Exhumist, on 06/11/2008, -1/+100It shrinks into a Go-Cart after it rains...
- sea206town, on 06/11/2008, -3/+99"After seeing the opening in the hood, I see how GINA must be pronounced."

Way To Steal Somebody Else's Comment...... - ChayD, on 06/11/2008, -1/+87"Spandex; it's a privilege, not a right"
- aaron.dunlap, on 06/11/2008, -0/+67Uh..... the hood.... it looks like a.....
nevermind. - webkami, on 06/11/2008, -4/+64Why not see it one their own website: http://www.bmw-web.tv/en/channel/new
- SirvenomItsac, on 06/11/2008, -1/+61...GINA
- technogenius, on 06/11/2008, -3/+63It is one sweet ass-car
- somethingrudy, on 06/11/2008, -6/+62" The fabric is OPAQUE (WTF?) so the taillights shine through, and small motors pull the fabric back to reveal the headlights"
i don't think that word means what you think it does..... - IG64, on 06/11/2008, -0/+39The closest thing to automotive porn you will ever see.
- Cofta, on 06/11/2008, -6/+44I would love this to be the future. Being able to change the look of your car after market for zero cost completely on a whim. Every car would look unique to the drivers tastes. Unbelievable.
- BreathofCepheus, on 06/10/2008, -9/+46Sucker's gonna give the Bat mobile a run for its money..
- TheUnlearn, on 06/11/2008, -1/+35seriously, i wish i could have punched that douche through my computer.
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -11/+45Between cloth cars and ethanol, the world is going to starve and be cold.
- NeedleNoggin, on 06/11/2008, -0/+34Don't forget: "Geometry" means "Shapes"
And "function" means "How things work" - Yazilliclick, on 06/11/2008, -1/+32Because that would be bad sending traffic to some company that actually makes something. Much better to send traffic to the blog spam sites that just copy ***** from other places.
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -3/+33Not any more than a regular car is vulnerable to douchebags with car keys or even shopping carts. It certainly seems like it might be a lot cheaper to fix a rip in this thing than a dent on a steel-body car.
- Mohonri, on 06/11/2008, -1/+30If we were an engineer, he would expect his audience to know the definition of the two. He'd talk about the strength and elasticity of the material, about the mechanism underneath. An engineer sure as heck isn't going to use the type of language he used.
He's a sales guy. Marketing. They have to deal with stupid people (read: potential customers), so I'm not surprised at his choice of words. - monospaced, on 06/11/2008, -0/+29I hope they don't make another transformers movie
- BlindDevil, on 06/11/2008, -3/+32Taking that metaphor further...yeah, the other prototype, the Enis, has bonnet bulges to accommodate twin super-chargers and variable linear cam shaft. Near red-line, the super-chargers are fully extended to optimized forced air injection but when the rev limiter kicks in, they retract into the body and the shaft disengages all fired cylinders...and I'm spent.
- schuchwun, on 06/10/2008, -28/+53sweet ass!!!!!!!
- datter, on 06/11/2008, -3/+28If they don't call this Car-in-a-Sack™ I'll be very disappointed.
- madetosink, on 06/11/2008, -1/+25"Honey, have you seen my tide-pen? Those damn birds are relentless!"
Extremely sexy car! - RealmDown, on 06/11/2008, -2/+25I can see the police cars made of kevlar.
- Sairynn, on 06/11/2008, -0/+18Inconceivable!
- hermslice, on 06/11/2008, -0/+18I would hate to see what the stig would do to that car....no wait i would LOVE.
only thing is, whats under that faberic opening we call a hood??
and how would it handle? - cawpin, on 06/11/2008, -0/+17The Midwest version would be made from Carhartt.
- TrevorBelmont, on 06/11/2008, -1/+18I know the guy in the video felt he had to simplify things when talking to lay persons but I was feeling a little like Eddie Murphy in Trading Places.
"...pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich." - Larsonal777, on 06/11/2008, -0/+17but it DID get made... once... oh and such a happy time that was
- Dustmuffins, on 06/11/2008, -4/+21Just like my girlfriend...
Oh yeah, It's digg, I'm not allowed to have a girlfriend...
nevermind... - faceless323, on 06/11/2008, -2/+19How about a burlap version for the South?
- feliks2, on 06/11/2008, -0/+17Its made of a spaceframe, rtfa. The fabric means nothing.
- Zcaithaca, on 06/11/2008, -0/+16Cool headlights!
- feliks2, on 06/11/2008, -0/+16Translucent.
- lordewoks, on 06/11/2008, -5/+20This technology is gonna be awesome. They can eventually use this to create robots with skin!
- BossKey, on 06/11/2008, -0/+14Here's a thought from the article that addresses all your question marks...
..."concept car" - bstockwell, on 06/11/2008, -2/+16It's bmw, they did it right
- felix21685, on 06/11/2008, -0/+14i want to see it at Autobahn speed. The fabric will look like Jeremy Clarksons face while driving the Atom.
- bundwallah, on 06/11/2008, -0/+13Great!! Here come the Terminators!!!!!
- kierucom, on 06/11/2008, -2/+15Yeah; that was dumb of him. But he's probably one of those engineer-types with zero communication capabilities outside his own niche, so he just assumes he has to explain it all like we're 2 years old.
- Handonam, on 06/11/2008, -1/+14reotard
- alpha88, on 06/11/2008, -0/+12The only downside is other peoples' tastes may not be that great.
- gametavern, on 06/11/2008, -0/+12So we're going to have to lint-roll the outside of our cars now? Forget keying it, just pull on a string and your "skin" will have a run.
