I'd better hurry up and patent my car door - the one that falls onto the ground when you open it. It's a little like the BMW Z-1 doors, maybe I'll have to sue them.
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Are you thinking of a reverse gullwing that hinges on the bottom of the door frame, which would allow the car to have both the prestige of gullwings AND a moonroof?
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I do see one small problem with the design though. Suppose you enter the vehicle with muddy footwear on. That means you'll be traipsing mud along the inside door of the car. You then would not be able to lean against the door, as you'd get mud on your clothing (assuming you are wearing some).

You've perhaps heard of indoor/outdoor carpet? Besides, we like to call that 'mud', you refer to, a spa treatment. And I'm cool with a clothing optional world.
@ThreeLitre: Just think about it. Ferrari is going to solve the Fender Bender Crisis as we know it. By extending the Door line there will no longer be a Fender, thus no more Fender Benders.

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

I usually prefer mine this way but I guess whatever floats the boat.

As far as I can tell they've basically just extended the door shape about 16" onto the fender and made it open forward.
What is so wrong with, I dunno, just a door?
