When a car's design and name fit perfectly.

The car still has a metal space frame. Think of it like an Ariel Atom covered in cloth.

Hmm.

Well I wonder if the end result will have different cloths you can purchase.

Monday- Red
Tuesday- Black
Wednesday- White
Thursday- Silver

etc etc. That would be neat imo.

Point taken. And it seems it would be safer and get better gas mileage considering less weight. Then again the safety issue is a concern for such a light weight car. It would fold like a paper towel in a high speed wreck.

That's really not much different than the number of cars that use fiberglass already. The strength and safety of a vehicle is in its frame, not its skin.

Yes, I know all of this. But I made the mistake assuming the cloth was just cloth over a light weight body.

Yeah okay I admit I assumed the damn body of the car was just cloth only. Comfuzzled me.

Wtf is that? It looks like crap.

Awesome. BMW has been pushing the design envelope to its limit ever since Chris Bangle became the design chief.
