BMW GINA Light Visionary Model is made entirely out of textile fabric that is built around the frame of metal and carbon fiber wires.
The car can actually move and change shape beneath the fabric skin with electro-hydraulic devices. Don’t hope to see the car or on sale anywhere as it is a pure concept.
Its main purpose was to inspire designers and engineers to think outside the box.

In April we brought you a story of a Panthera Concept that was created by a German designer Stefan Schulze. That was a wild idea and it probably will never be built.
Now mr. Schulze has teamed up with Alan Mertens, from Galmer Engineering, Arbitrage Cars and, of course, Giotto Bizzarrini( the creator of the original p538, in 1967) to create a new Bizzarrini P538.

Rüsselsheim. A fresh, bold car requires an equally striking emblem. So when the Insignia debuts in July at the London Motor Show it will sport a refined logo that heralds a new era for Opel in innovation, technology and design.

Revealed at the 2008 Concorsa d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the M1 Concept. The concept was created to mark the 30th anniversary of the original M1 supercar.
Interesting features of the car include the twin logos at the rear, air vents in the bonnet and the louvres on the rear windscreen, as well as the black cutline dividing the roofline from the rear section of the body – all features from the original model. Will it make it into production? No official information, but there is a high probability BMW will modify the concept and we ll be seeing the car soon on a major car show.

Audi has RS4, RS6. Also there are talks that RS8 is being developed.
There are also talks on the RS5 coming. Here are few pictures of the car the way one designer would see it.
To me it looks a lot nicer than the current M3. Surely if once made it would target itself right against the M3.
