Chris Bangle is a fucking Idiot.

I own a bmw,

I highly doubt I will own 04+ ever.

They just dont have it,

wtf is that, a pantie-hos car?

ESmorz · 06-11-2008, 06:31 PM

That's probably the most bad ass thing I've seen in awhile.

It's not so much awesome looking or anything, just unique I guess.

DreamN · 06-11-2008, 06:34 PM

wtf? did that car just winked at me?

DUFFM4N · 06-11-2008, 06:36 PM

instead of keying someone's car....people would start cutting them open

Jimmy Up · 06-11-2008, 06:40 PM

Jimmy Up · 06-11-2008, 06:42 PM

im at work- volume is down.

Work= Fail

DUFFM4N · 06-11-2008, 06:43 PM

take it to the 1hr drycleaners

BustedS13 · 06-11-2008, 06:49 PM

i'm guessing this fabric would be coated to be waterproof. probably more of a rubber or convertible canvas end product. how else would you drive it in rain? i'm guessing stains wouldn't really happen...

people slashing your sides would happen constantly, though. people are assholes.

lflkajfj12123 · 06-11-2008, 06:54 PM

haha that is so retarded

that guy is an idiot, while everybody else is engineering better efficiency he's sitting here playing dress up

rps13drift · 06-11-2008, 06:55 PM

Bed sheet body kits will be the future!!!!
I actualy think that this idea is the worst ever!!! Car designers need to just keep it simple!

It's an "interesting" concept to say the least but Chris Bangle really needs to do better things with his time, like improving his ugly car designs.

The headlights are cool though. But that's about it.

MikeisNissan · 06-11-2008, 07:09 PM

That's not even worth saving in the picture file.

I think what's more important here is not what the car actually looks like, but what the technology and thought process that went into it.

I've been imagining tallights like that for a long time in my head.

eastcoastS14 · 06-11-2008, 08:22 PM

god if i got into automotive design id in way over my head

lol theres something about artists/conceptuals that when they speak is right on the border between sounding like a genius and sounding like a retard

interesting concept but i doubt it will get made in that form, it will be interesting to see what advances like this mean for cars of the future tho

theracingbean · 06-11-2008, 08:37 PM

You guys are close-minded, it's the technology not the ugly car that is cool. Imagine the the weight reduction possibilities, ease of color change, and think about how easy your car would be to work on if you could take all the body panels off in 2 hours. The headlight design is cool, it's the doors that screw the whole concept up.

I bet that with some tweaking and such, this kind of design could become one of the most energy efficient vehicles out there. The "skins" could probably allow ridiculous aerodynamics, and weight reductions...

arkive43 · 06-11-2008, 08:48 PM

lolz what a douche he fuking talks like people are idiots " its an acronym a set of letters," wtf? geometry "shapes" function "how things work" i stoped it there.

MikeisNissan · 06-11-2008, 09:31 PM

I don't even see taillights.. unless its invisible..

murda-c · 06-11-2008, 09:38 PM

fuck that shit i'd drive it.

I'm gonna go get a Factory five car for my spaceframe and figure out how to mkae and awesome cloth body kthx.

kyoru · 06-11-2008, 10:37 PM

the tail lights show through the fabric when they are on. I think this concept is amazing, but I'm the kind of guy that likes the crazy concept shit.

LongGrain · 06-11-2008, 10:41 PM

just saw this posted on another forum, i think its REALLY cool.

GeneStarWindGSW · 06-11-2008, 10:48 PM

so whats under the fabric then? lol

Probably very close to the same shit that's under every other cars paneling...

Threeyearitch · 06-11-2008, 10:59 PM

I don't care. I love it.

Of course this will never make it into production, but I love the idea. Extremely origional.

Headlights are full of win.

jhatch13 · 06-11-2008, 11:38 PM

what if you get a what we call in the current painted bodied world a paint chip? what do you do then? patch the cloth or completely re-wrap it before it spreads and tears a huge hole?

Matej · 06-11-2008, 11:48 PM

Shape-shifting Origin Aggressive version III, big in 2K12?
