What it really needs is reverse (suicide) lambo doors!

Never going to happen form the factory. Too expensive, too few potential buyers, too late!

I’ve always thought aftermarket “doors that go up” (whatever you want to call them) look terrible.

That being said, I love how McLaren does it, especially on the 720S. Makes getting in and out a lot easier IMO.

Never fails either. I always make it point to park far away and walk... But I have one store that is pretty unique it's a single stall next to 8 handicapped spots. No one can park beside you except handicap the other side is an island then it goes to more parking.. Ok the odds of 8 being there is zillion to one... I walk out the store and there is one car in the handicap spots.. In the 8th spot next to mine!!!! WTF really out of the 8 spots you had to park next to me the furthest from the store... It was less then 3 ft away from my car. I almost let the air out of the right side tires... LOL ********..

They are cool on the cars they were designed for but adding the aftermarket they never open and close properly. I took this photo a few years back.

I would have like to see what GM came up with when they considered alternate configurations. If someone developed a well engineered solution that I liked the final look, I would do it. We'll see what the aftermarket comes up with. I think something hinging about the A-pillar might be better than scissor.

But, I like the stock doors just fine as well.

I’ll be interested to see what the C8 looks like with that door mod.
