Disappearing Car Doors

I’ve found a website which is talking about some new concept called "Disappearing Car Doors". It’s a new way for your car doors to open. Until now, we’ve seen four schemes in which a car door can be opened:

1. Doors that open vertically (Vertical Doors).

2. Doors that open up and out.

3. Doors that open in the opposite direction.

4. Doors that open to the top of the car.

But this new scheme that I’m talking about is actually a sliding scheme in which a car door opens down below the car floor.

It’s really cool and electrically controlled. It also can be overridden manually in cases of emergency. I really like these doors, but I’m not 100% sure about their cost or quality. Check them out here and let me know what you think?

Oh no, I’m sure its new news from Jatech’s perspective. I was just commenting on the company’s choice of vehicle and actor hairstyle and wardrobe selection for this particular ad–makes it look very dated.

Also, dropping style doors were actually first conceived on the BMW Z1 circa 1986: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_Z1#Doors

The other unfortunate thing about dropping doors are no door controls (think locks, windows, speakers etc) and no arm rests…notice the cars in the ad have arm rests on the seats, further making it feel like the whole thing came from a mid 80’s Ford Econoline van…

I see. You’re right about that. It’s funny to see a company with a bright idea for the future and a very bad taste at marketing itself 😆 . I would love however to see these old looking girls jumping into a BMW E36. I think it’s going to be sweet.

I’m 62 and overweight, as are several of my firends. What a welcome concept. Bring it on…..Though during a down pour it might make the interior wet. Otherwise. where can I find out the cost of conversion? JJ

Hi John,

I’m sure that they took that into consideration when they designed it, but I can’t confirm that. I’ve added a link to their website under the video. Please check it.

@brian: Hi Brian, I’m sorry but I’m not affiliated with these guys. So, I can’t give you any prices about the service. Sorry! 🙂
