Disappearing car door
 

Has anyone seen this yet? Could be cool but I'm not sure if it would work on our 8's.

they'd have to weld our two doors shut, i think its possible but it would be expensive!

There is a thread on this in General Discussion

wouldnt this impose safety problems?

Same to be said about shaved door handles and lambo hinges. Anything done to your door are suppose to be illegal.

lol those doors tho could cause distractions
eg. girl wearing short skirt.. lol

Honestly though, I replayed that video a few times. Its really cool.

Seems way expensive though

It's def something different...! You don't see that everyday....

if all cars had these, then no more door dings!

my doors would bottom out LOL

I don't think a stock 8 would have enough ground clearance for those. I don't think any of those cars were unibody. A lot more dead space under them. The BMW Z1 had something similar.. roll down doors.

Realize people that the RX8 is unique with its doors, why anyone would want to change them is really beyond me. I mean lambo doors are something cool for the 8. But realize in itself the 8's doors are unique

I read somewhere that this company proposed their disappearing door thing to lincoln for the Mark VII but was denied due to design flaws and so i guess theyre trying to sell it themselves now

i personally think the Dihedral Synchro-Helix Door Actuation aka "Koenigsegg doors" are by far the coolest doors. A company actually sells this but they call it "R.A.P.T.O.R. doors."
