West7se Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I like it, not seen that concept before. Appears easy to get in and out when someone parks too close in a carpark, just wondering as to wether it would pass certain `side impact` tests that we have, given the the entire side of the car is separate to the main shell of the body. Good idea though. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I've seen it for a couple of years. I don't think it'll work on sports cars (b/c the car itself should be low - unless they can raise the car at the same time), but it's a great idea for trucks/SUVs.

11Budlite Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 The BMW Z1 was one sports car that used retractable doors, but it was hardly a sales success: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_Z1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
