No, none do other than those installed aftermarket.
In fact, no standard production Corvette has ever come from the factory with Lambo style doors.

No, they have regular doors like most other cars.

Thanks. Was thinking up upgrading from my C6 GS to a C7 GS, One I looked at online had Lambo doors.

Seriously? Lambo doors are obnoxious enough on Lambos (I've a friend with 3 of 'em).

No. Secondly, I am not a fan of them.

I don't understand the attraction of Lambo doors. Never have.
From the perspective of the C7, Lambo doors can't really help to gain access to the cockpit. You still have to climb in over the seat and side bolsters, and thread your way past the steering wheel.
With respect to object side clearance, especially in parking lots, I don't park near other vehicles so side clearance is not an issue.
At best they are a novelty. Worst thing about them is they will kill the resale value and only appeal to a very small audience. Just my personal opinion.
Not for me. . .

I think you should add some hinges inside down to the door card and weld a beam up to the top (it will unfortunately now allow you to take off the targa roof but a small price I think) and make some Mercedes gull wing doors, huh ? Huh?

For that matter, most Lambos don't have "Lambo" doors. Only 4 of their cars ever had scissor hinge doors, and that's because the door sills were too wide for conventional doors.

The best selling Lamborghini of all time has normal doors.

LOL I agree. A unique electronic door system on a very limited run 30+ year old BMW. All should be fine.
