Shape-Shifting BMW Concept Car Is Made of CLOTH

BMW has created a concept car called the GINA Light Visionary Model, which takes a seamless, plastic-coated lycra material, and stretches it over a metal frame with moving parts—allowing for the car to have shape-shifting properties.

One To The Power Of Four Equals Honda Awesomeness

At this year's LA auto show, Honda pulled out all the stops in the design category with their One to the Power of Four solar hybrid.

Toyota FT-HS Hybrid: 0-60 in 4 Seconds

Yeah, it's just a concept car, but this one might find its way onto the highway. It's the 400hp Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept, set to roll out on January 7 at the Detroit Auto Show. What really caught our eye was the Electric Tesla-like numbers of zero-to-60 in 4 seconds, and one big figure that's actually smaller than expected: Toyota is shooting for the mid-$30,000 price range.
