From watching the video, it looks like the OP's doors swing open wider than a Lambo door before swinging up which also appears to give more entry room than a Lambo door.
I would be great to see an overhead video of both style doors to see the actual difference.

Looks like a great product for those interested in it. The doors look like they close (latch) easier than factory ones.

I like it. But I would need to be able to open the doors in the conventional manner as well. I just don't have the side clearance in a parking lot or my Garage to swing my door out like that. If they had the normal option I would be all over this.

Pretty neat concept, I like it and think it will do well with a lot of the show crowd. How easy is the install and what is the cost.

Looks interesting, but just a few concerns.
For one, if the window valet is included, that means it's a must for the windows to go down before the door goes up. Not an issue unless you some how get caught in the rain (I know, it's a long shot but could happen). Also, that means fumbling with the remote every time you get in and out.
Second, why only at retailers?.. All of the other kits around can be put in DIY style, is there something involved in this one that limits that or is that just a marketing tactic? I for one DIY everything so that definately puts me out of the market and I'm sure there will be others in that group as well.
Lastly, does it require cutting?.. This has been asked by a few here as well as in the video comments but the answer seems to be avoided.

To quote my wife: 'Lambo doors belong on a lambo.'
Looks like a clean setup and it'll probably sell well for the show car bunch, but definitely not for me.

Watched the video and looks like you have to have the windows open when opening the doors. It is a cool product, but not sure about having to open the windows every time I need to open the doors. The parking space that you had at the end of the video was a pretty big spot. I want to see this in action in a mall parking space.

I can see these looking nice on a show car. I would not be able to live with it on my daily driver though.
Funny, I noticed all the demos had the windows at least half way down. I mumbled to myself, "better come with a window valet." Then I saw that it DOES come with a window valet. Looks like if your not careful you could catch your ear or head on the window as you get in. I've done that before....catch my ear on the window as I'm getting in....it hurts A LOT.
Seems the doors open and close well...appears the engineering was done well. I hope it does well for you.
Now if anyone wants to make a funny door opener for the Vette that actually has BETTER clearance in a parking lot then copy the Koenigsegg and a lot more people will buy. Those doors actually get OUT of the way instead of getting IN the way.

These are bolt on kits which means you can revert back to the factory hinges if you want to do so. Like most vertical door kits minor trimming of the inner fenders is needed. This kit however will require less trimming than standard vertical door kits. This process may sound evasive but it really isn't. You cannot see the trimming from outside the vehicle and you would really have to scrutinize to actually see it from the inside to see the difference. It looks like it came like that from the factory when done properly
