The slver BMW is wrapped in a cloth like covering over body panels. They can change the entire shape of the car by changing the underpanels. Cool. The white Ferrari is a 1966 special 3 passenger model with driver in the middle, like a McLaren. . The Timbs special was my favorite.

I like the special too, however it almost looks like the driver should be facing the other direction.
The BMW's headlights can hide because of that cloth covering, they work like eyelids, opening and closing to reveal the headlights!

Under the skin are 'bows' somewhat like a convertible top frame work. At a touch of a button (I- drive) to move and shape the outer skim
