Hey! Vertical Doors?!?!

[jtibble]

Alrighty, since this is the mods section of the site, I would like to propose a lambo-style vertical-door-mod be considered. The company at verticaldoors.com does various custom vertical door kits, and I wonder if the design of the Roadster would prevent or encourage the construction of vertical door kits...?

Any thoughts?

Hey! I wanted to throw this in here before it gets buried in the comments—

Are there any plans to offer Roadsters with vertical doors (you know, the lambo-esque showstoppers)? And with the layout and door design, would it be even possible?

Editor’s Answer: No and no.

yeah with all of the electronics bilut into the door, it would be really diffucult. Not just a matter of makeing a new door, but somehow remaking the existing door with the new capability, I'm sure with enough moeny it would be possible, but certainly not practical.

There's a company here in Texas selling remanufactured De Lorean DMC-12s. Check it. . .

They start at $42,000. It would make a cool electric car, but the performance would be hinded by its weight.

I'd hate to see someone try gull wings on a rag top.

That would kinda destroy the open top concept!
