    I suspect that in application, this will be genius. Looking at the higne angle, to seems like the doors will swing up, forward, and maybe in toward the car. Sort of like scissor or butterfly doors that actually get out of the way.

    Ferrari and Pininfarina have now found a solution so that, instead of having to stop the headlight back at the a-pillar, Ferrari can continue the headlight into the door and integrate it with the turn signal on the door mirror.

    Pininfarina, you see, is on a roll and in the successor to the 458 they're running the headlight all the way back to integrate it with the Enzo-style taillights.

    Behold, I am Corvette ZR1. I have normal, average, everyday doors, and I will still kick your ass for less than half the price.

    What's next? A door that stays still, while the car rotates up around it using a system of hydraulic pistons, and a rope ladder, up which you climb to enter the car.?

    @YankBoffin: yeah i heard of that,
    with the push of a button, the door folds itself then disapears.
    then to close, it swirls itself back in place.

    @YankBoffin: Problems arose when the doors were directly observed, affecting their state. As such, the windows can be rolled down, up, and somewhere in between at all times. Hanging your elbow on the sill is difficult.

    I want sliding doors (not on a minivan). Easier entry, less space needed to park, no door dings from imbeciles parking next to you (if they have them)

    This all being said I would rather have gull wings for being just pure awesome. Give sliding doors to every schmuck who drives a Camcordaurusxima (etc) and doesn't understand how to open a door.

    I'm in the process of patenting mag-lev doors, when you open the door, it detaches from the car completely, floats up and hovers of the roof on a cushion produced by an opposing magnetic force. The only problem is that I need 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to produce a magnetic field strong enough to levitate the door. There's still some kinks I need to work out. Do any of you guys have any spare plutonium you could part with?
