to me, lambo doors look good when its a longer slimmer door. this one is like chunky and tall, ya know? it should be like longer slim panels, so its kinda like scissors. but thats just me tho.

They were not meant to be cool…

The original Countach’s doors were so long that it made it diffilcult to get out when parked next to other cars. The vertical scissor door was the solution.

Gull wings on the other hand were a solution to a problem of a car that barely had any doors.

The Mercedes benz 300sl had the tubular chassis running through the lower portion of the body where the door would be. A tilt away steering wheel was all that was required for the roadster but the hardtop required a more creative approach… the gull wing doors.
