Dude, you DO have a convertible, don't you?
Doesn't your car already DO that?

Are those doors on, like, giant augers that screw into the body? The passenger side door looks like it would hit the sidewalk if you were parked by a curb when opening the door.

Hmm with that design it doesn't look like you can roll the window down. Nicle looking but silly SAAB engineers still think they're designing Jets.

I could use Lambo doors on my MC, my garage is too narrow to open either of them very far. I'm going to put "bumpers" on the each wall this weekend.

wonder if the car would roll forward or tear the roof and door off
if a strong wind blew from the rear.

imaging getting in on a stormy day...

i can put that car on a jack stand and use those wheels as fans.

That concept car was so sexy, its a shame it'll never make it to production. Did you see the gauges they designed for that thing?! 3d?!
