[@THATDAMSPORTSHOW]

Polyurethane is pretty strong performance motor mounts use it that being said I thing it would take a brick through even then. Guess it depends on the thickness of it but little Rock 🪨 will undoubtedly bounce off I'd be more worried bout the cars around it with deflection off the material lol

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

​@@THATDAMSPORTSHOWlol every motor mount uses it. Polyurethane is an extremely popular material.....it's in everything. Paints, plastics, rubbers, deck stain, etc. It has nothing to do with strength 🤦‍♂️

[@valkyrione6630]

Yeah, gotta protect the gina. It's sensative

[@mile_high_topher]

I live in a state where they put gravel down for winter, and with the right durable fabric I could see this being a good thing compared to a paint job, which takes a beating during the snowy months.

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

@mile_high_topher yeah same actually lol. Just like the oil and chips they do a lot of these back roads with instead of blacktop. It's horror on paint/Clear coat but on fabric it might actually do less damage

[@HeraldofRighteousness]

This car is mostly only made for design and aerodynamics, it's not a practical daily driver. I love their ingenuity to create such an easy way to look at new body concepts.

The fact that it changes shape is fascinating. But the shape of that opening reminds me of something else.

[@Kepitano]

That's intended. Read the name again "Gina"... BMW Va-Gina xD

[@mcclarinscott]

Love the Gina...shame they never made some version of it...the changeable organic flowing ines are stunning., the opening lights becoming expressive eyes, give a machine an animalistic believable character. If it were fully electric and range limited for city use only it would still be sensational at any pricepoint.

[@JONINXBOX]

Thanks for posting this! I watched a video on this car about 10 years ago and it wasn’t the best quality but to see this now in broad daylight just shows how unique this concept is.. now my only question is how do you even wash something like that!?

[@ambergris5705]

That's a great concept, but man oh man do I wish that BMW had applied those amazing proportions and detailing to their models... That front is just beautiful, both reminiscent of the shark like BMWs of the 70s and 80s, and at the same time very contemporary. That very horizontal dialogue between the headlights and the grilles just makes sense, but no, instead they had to go for pig noses to copy Audi. I'm still hoping they will draw from the best pages of their catalogue (including this one) for future models! There are exciting new possibilities for the future without having to resort to ugly and ungainly.
