if i had money to throw away i'd get it done. my dad just watched it and said that the old BMW Z1 had something like that. i might look that up later to see how BMW did it. but that shit is sick as hell.

Lol that's class.

Imagine how heavy it'd be though ;p

ya probly would be pretty heavy, but on my leganza which is more of a luxury car it would fit well.

Lol imagine parking on a speed bump, or over something the sticks out of the ground... Not so practical afterall lol

they say you maintain a normal ground clearance at all times. a coworker pointed out to me that the theatre they pull up to in the befinning is here in detroit, but i dont know where the restof the promo was shot. but you have to admit that its a cool concept

Very cool. I would like to meet the inventor

I admit its nice, and could be practical. But in the time it takes the door to open and close back someones already jumped into your car, kicked you out, and driven off.

Still, I would rock it if I got it for free

Besides, you could drive with the doors down. how awesome is that

i read somewhere on there site it takes about 2.5 or 3 seconds to open or close i think those were the numbers... i dont think thats toooo slow

really? seems slower on the vids...either way, you could still drive with your doors down. Thats the coolest feature in my opinion

haha ya dangerous but very cool. yes the door remains within normal ground clearance i think htey just reinforce the bottom. from what they have told me there mainly working on mercedez benz and other more high end cars but will be open to other models later on.
