Those are commonly referred to as scissor doors and are popular with the import crowd.

i dig the doors personally. i think they're pretty f***ing rad. Any idea on how much it costs to get something like that done?

I've looked into it a couple times, I like the 90 degree doors like on the C5 Vette, but don't know if I would like having them all the time, the bolt in kits you can get for a grand or less, the weld in kits are heavy duty and cost in the 1500-2500 range, stylin concepts has a coupl kits
The only cars I think these doors truly belong on are Lambo Murchalerago, Buggatti Veyrons, Mercedes Meclarion, and so on

Think Koenigsegg calls these Raptor doors. I love the way they look. :bows
