Volkswagen has launched a microsite, volkswagen2028.com, showing three computer-generated concepts hinting at its plans for the future.

The three concepts have holographic interface systems, and use car-to-car communications technology for accident avoidance and free-flowing progress through traffic, and are powered by electricity or biofuels.

Instead of a metal or plastic body, BMW’s latest concept, the GINA Light Visionary Model, drapes a flexible fabric material over a moveable wire mesh frame, creating a nearly seamless surface that can alter its form at the whim of the driver. If you’re feeling frisky, you can raise the tail like an angry dog, bulge the fenders as if you’ve injected them with steroids and reshape the sides of the car to transform it from a sleek roadster into an intimidating racer.
No need to lift the hood to get a look at the engine — it opens from the centre like Hulk Hogan tearing off his T-shirt. Even the seats and the dashboard can be customized under their smooth surfaces to fit the desires of the occupants.
