Lambo Doors

The Lambo door was first introduced in a concept car. The lambo door was designed for a concept car whose wide chassis mandated this unusual door configuration. The lambo door design was carried forward to the other cars made after the concept car's lambo door's were a success. The only current car in production which uses the Lambo door is the Murciélago. This lambo door design combines some of the advantages of a conventional door and the traditional roof hinged door. The lambo door can open upward rather than outward, which is important in wide cars. The lambo door hinge is in a similar location as a conventional door, so a convertible version of the car is not prevented by the lambo door design. The disadvantage is that the lambo door still impedes access much more than a roof hinged door and, in some cases, more than a conventional door.
