Most concept cars lets the automotive designers imagine things running around, but landing with a successful result. BMW had an idea to do something awkward, yet astonishing by molding a car into fabric. Instead of metal and steel, the GINA Light Visionary Model has a body of fabric over the metal to lets its drivers shape it to their will.

Chris Bangle, head of the design for BMW says, “challenge existing principles and conventional processes." The BMW GINA has been built on Z8 chassis and a 4.4-liter V8 and six-speed automatic transmission. BMW has stated that the fabric is resistant to water and polyurethane-coated.

Drivers can easily get in and out with ease by their interior, which actually is quite fascinating. I would encourage people to get this car because it is a different trend of designs from most other cars today in the market.

Used Pontiac Grand Prix


The Pontiac Grand Prix was first manufactured in 1962 General Motor's Pontiac division. Along with other full-sized car models, Pontiac also used the Grand Prix brand as a brand of cars in Pontiac's personal luxury and mid-size car market, making it next to the Bonneville in Pontiac's product lineup. The first Grand Prix became a merging of the Pontiac Catalina, with its coupe and hardtop model and the Pontiac Bonneville's trimming. As in other Pontiac vehicles, the Grand Prix received a downsizing treatment in 1978. By 2008, the Grand Prix was still being manufactured when General Motors announced a recall of all Grand Prix GTP models from 1997 to 2003 because of reported engine fires. The next year, the recall extended to Grand Prix GT models as well. As of April 2009, almost 1.5 million Grand Prix cars have been affected by this recall.

The Grand Prix's GT trim was discontinued in 2008. GXP and base trims were still available, as well as new colors were added to the available models for 2008. For the 2009 model year, the Grand Prix was discontinued altogether and was replaced by the Pontiac G8.

World's Most Expensive Cars

What is the most expensive car in the world? The 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe was sold for $8,700,000 in 1987. However, that car and many alike will not be included in this list because it is not available on the market today. It is hard to imagine someone would actually spend 8 million dollars on a car instead of using it for something more productive. However, if you have the money and the opportunity, you will definitely spend a small fraction of it to place a few of these supercars in your garage. Here is the 10 most expensive production cars on the market.

1. Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. However, the title for the fastest car goes to the SSC Ultimate Aero which exceed 253 mph pushing this car to 2nd place for the fastest car.

2. Lamborghini Reventon $1,600,000. The most powerful and the most expensive Lamborghini ever built is the second on the list. It takes 3.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and it has a top speed of 211 mph. Its rarity (limited to 20) and slick design are the reasons why it is so expensive and costly to own.

3. McLaren F1 $970,000. In 1994, the McLaren F1 was the fastest and most expensive car. Even though it was built 15 years ago, it has an unbelievable top speed of 240 mph and reaching 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Even as of today, the McLaren F1 is still top on the list and it outperformed many other supercars.
