Possible new Z8 @ BMW museum??

The website wont load for me but i think i understand which video you're talking about. It's this right?
If its that one then it's not a new Z8 but an ongoing internal concept from BMW that they just decided to release to the public. Underneath, the chassis is that of the Z8 as they both started developement at the same time by BMW’s Californian think-tank Designworks.
Oh and another thing. The body work is not metal or anything. It's cloth and it can change shapes apparently. More details in the video and here.
The higher quality video on the youtube site is pretty tasty.

I think it looks quite nice but Bangle makes it sound far more exciting that it really is.. It's a piece of cloth over a system of actuators that allow it to change the place of creases or whatever. Big deal if you ask me. But as a design study it really is impressive. Also you can clearly see where the Z4's design came from.
And what the hell with that "context over dogma" crap?!?
Anywho enjoy.

I had it pulled up at work during my lunch break, but could not get the vid to load fully, too much bandwidth being utilized at the time :x Oh, well, gotta live within the constraints of the unmonitored wi-fi at work sammyz said:Bangle should take a course in 'plain English'. Forgetting about the material etc I think the car is quite a stunner and would have made a great next gen Z4
I particuarly like the way he explains what an acronym is to us. A series of letters apparently?!
Knob jockey.
Concept is interesting though
