Disappearing car door....Must watch

[AF1JZ]

I thought this was cool as shit. I bet it is expensive though. Maybe they'll make it for the supra?

Repost, and although its cool, think of the amount of weight it would add...

I fail I searched and didn't see anything.

Wasn't Kai the one, who posted the first one up? That was a lincolnd or something on e-bay

Edit....same car
IMO, that's the most functional car-door that I've ever seen

Didn't GM try this on one of their prototypes, I believe that is where we first saw this... and they scrapped the idea because it was complete shit?

 

[Saavedro88]

I thought it was BMW... Wasn't there a little Concept Beemer coupe that had something like this?

 

[Kai]

You're thinking of the BMW Z1 there, although it was a production car, not a concept and the idea was a little different to this...

I would have sworn someone was ebaying the car and had like 40 pictures of it, and it was a big discussion on here how GM never released the car, and all this talk about it. maybe I was wrong

 

[A-to-the-J]

wow. first time seeing that. it seems helpful, but again, the weight.

 

[IJ.]

If it's the one that tucks under the seats you'd need to be 3'10" tall

I think that is Kewl as shit.....A few more years, and they will have a Transformer....LOL

Yeah I remember that thread, but for the life of me I can't find it. I've been having a hell of a time using the search feature lately. It was equipped on a Lincoln prototype, but the project was scraped by Ford.

Its possibly older than October '06, which probably means its been archived, or the search doesnt allow you do go back further than that - Mike would know more about that.

Nope....Your right.

forget the weight it would add....hell forget the whole thing; our doors are so heavy from factory that the setup probably couldnt lift them back up
