I wonder...

The Mclaren F1 and SLR dont use scissor doors .. scissor doors go directly up normally on a single hinge. The F1 and SLRs open diagionally up because of a second hinge. And the Koenigsegg uses ones with a wierd name.

i know i was reffereing to that style as good, whereas scissor doors are different, i know how they open, i meant that the diagonal way is better

One of the great timeless philosophical questions.

one of the practical uses of having vertically opening doors on lamborghinis was so you were able to fully open the door. the doors on, say, the murcielago, are rather long. if they opened out, they would easily hit the car next to you. this advantage is lost on other cars with normal sized doors.

[Matra et Alpine]

does that mean it'd be cool to put regular doors on your lambo?

SInce taking over, Audi clearly think so on the new cars

[Coventrysucks]

because they put scissor doors only in lambos with v12 engine

I refer you to post #8

For those who care the type of door used by the McLaren F1, Mercedes benz SLR McLaren, Ferrari Enzo et al are dihedral gullwing doors.

The Koenigsegg has a Dihedral Synchro-Helix Door Actuation.

i would think not D, what about the toyota sera's doors. what are they called?

The Sera's, SLR's, and Enzo's door's are technically Gull-Wing doors.

[:Exige:]

The Sera's, SLR's, and Enzo's door's are technically Gull-Wing doors.

As Coventry said, theyre dihedral gullwing (now that i knew) but I knew that they werent simply gullwing. Gullwing goes straight out .. like the 300SL Gullwings doors.

straight up i think u mean exige

Well with someone like Jeremy Clarkson, Scissor doors mean its alot easier to get into a car if its a very small car.

I think that Lambo style doors are when their original equipment but in very bad taste when added to other cars. I'd rather spend that money on the engine, suspension and brackes

If you own a lambo, you'll never have to park so close to other cars and have to worry about who your doors hit. Just buy the parking lot.

spoken like a true car enthusiast, THANK YOU!! finally someone brought that up

plutus, usually you have valet, so parking isnt an isuue

[SPHFerrari]

plutus, that comment would work with like a McLaren F1 or something mroe expensive but not a lamborghini. people with lamborghinis arent all absurdly rich. pretty rich, but not absurdly

Coming from someone who wants to put an AMG bodykit on a Benz if he gets one.

If it's "cool" to put "lambo" doors on everything from Escalades to Civics, does that mean it'd be cool to put regular doors on your lambo?

Maybe in some parrallel universe, most cars have scissor doors and only modified cars and lambos have "normal" doors.
