    I'd definitely go through the window, it's really easy with my car, and it would save a lot of weight!

    Ahh... gotcha. A bit more useful than I though it would be. Thanks.

    Back when crysler owned Lamborghini they made a concept car that had 4 doors the front pair opened classic scissor style and the rear doors opened the other way. It was also B-pillar-less so really easy to get in.
    Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
    Engine torque is an illusion.

    do you happen to know the name of that concept?

    They did the Marzal in 1968 which had gullwing doors but still was a 4-seater.

    that is an idea... i wonder what kind of doors will be created in the future?

    probably a mix of the ones listed!

    Yep. Even through Lamborghini's experiments, it was obvious the heavily-Chrysler influenced concept was another one that wouldn't make it.

    I believe Lamborghini is the only company to have a 4-seater car with 2 large gullwing doors.
