And You Thought Lambo Doors Were Fancy

written by John Chow on July 14th, 2007

Remember the first time you saw a Lamborghini with its gull wing like doors that swing up instead of out? There many after market tuners that can give your car some “Lambo Doors” but for some people, that is not enough. Take for example, this Lincoln Mark VIII with it’s roll away doors.

In the automotive world, your never stay on top for very long as someone is always trying to top you. Other than saying, “Look at me!” I cannot think of any practical function for the doors in the following video.

I have not yet seen Lamborghini :sad: poor me!

Maybe not.

Yeah, I saw it like two times already. That 2nd car is insane alright. I will, however, take a Camaro (Bumblebee style) over that circus of a car anyday.

The second video was better. The first door was neat but the door itself was crappy.

I’m with you on that one. If Paul was trying to be sarcastic, then he needs practice. If he’s being serious, well then I’m just baffled.

how cool would that be

Marc said on July 14th, 2007 at 6:10 pm

Not cool at all. It would drive like a car from the 50’s, underpowered and overweight.

Reply to this comment
J said on July 14th, 2007 at 10:04 pm

if you are sure it confuses you, meaning you’re not entirely sure it confuses you, but it probably does confuse you, then you probably are right about the car confusing you, although possibly not right about the car confusing you, but also the issue of being confused about the car may also confuse you, since you are sure you are confused, but not really sure you are confused.

i hope i helped your situation.

Those rollaways are freaking sick. My wife brings up a good point though… what if your battery goes dead?

Reply to this comment
Garrett Albright said on July 14th, 2007 at 11:06 am

Well, usually your battery won’t die while the car is moving - while you’re in it, in other words. I’m more concerned about safety… Is it going to be safe?

The original blog entry to go along with this move seems to be here. Can anyone here read Russian? Is this going to be a new feature on Mark VIIIs, or was this just a custom job?

Reply to this comment
iPhooey the iPone said on July 14th, 2007 at 11:15 am

No, the battery will die when the car is parked somewhere and you are outside the car - meaning you cannot get in the car to release the hood latch to change the battery!

The interior of that door looks like crap too.

Goob said on July 14th, 2007 at 1:34 pm

I’m sure they’ve got some hidden manual release set up or something.

Reply to this comment
Blogging Experiment said on July 14th, 2007 at 2:04 pm

Yeah that was more my point. Plus, as mentioned, the interior doesn’t look all that nice. Tough to top that rolling action from the outside though.

Marc said on July 14th, 2007 at 6:17 pm

It’s simple, you call your driver to come pick you up in your Bentley or any of your other cars. Tell him to call up someone to take car of the car while he’s on his way too. These are minor inconveniences to the people who can afford these cars :P

The first one I would love to have. The second video was hilarious! Someone spent a lot of money for those ‘pimpin’ doors.

It could be from Pimp My Ride, but then again it’s just white paint all over so I don’t know…

Yeah, can’t be from pimp my ride, there’s no lime, purple or pink. not to mention no chandelier or coffee maker visible.

Yea, buy me one too so I can pick up babes when I go to town.

“See all this door action? There’s just as much back seat action!”

John, the second video has excellent functionality. We will all need cars with doors as paddle wheels if “global warming” continues. :grin:

2nd Video ones looked alot better although still alittle over the top lol. The first one was a cool concept but when you looked at the door form the inside didn’t look so nice and I’m curious how it’s structural integrity would be if in an accident?

It was actually a prototype from lincoln. Definitely a cool idea, but theres no armrest on the door, which would be kind of annoying.

Indeed, the RSS footer plugin it breaks the validation of the RSS (experiencing the same too since i installed that plugin).

Anyway those funky doors i think it can be used by the police (maybe once they make a RoboCop) and pickup criminals on the road as they run :shock:

I saw the second video a long time ago, can’t remember when… but I thought it was pointless and stupid.

Although the first car door was weird but I thought it was at least more interesting.

The first video is pretty nice, although I’m a bit concerned by the safety of such a door.

The second video is just way over-the-top :razz:

LMFAO - WoW look at those two cars. That’s nuts. That first one you’d have to live in a nice area because that door does not look stable. Nor should you be in an accident with that thing.
