Christian von Koenigsegg sees your Lambo doors, and raises you his dihedral syncro-helix actuation doors...

I happen to like lambo doors and almost got an NSX with some.
Now, if I could just figure out how to attach them on my Jag ('vert)...

tl;dr - I love that door.
I work in hospitality, help design hotels (as operator aiding architect and designers). I work in historic and new build green buildings, which both lend themselves to contemporary design motifs in different ways, for historic namely to complement the historical nature of the building while reinventing the footprint in new ways that don't get in the way of the historic fabric or footprint of the building.
That being said, I see a lot of art masquerading as design, just as there's functional and attainable art that can be successfully implemented and operated in a commercial / hotel setting. IE a fancy art door may be beautiful, but functionally useless of a guest can't comprehend how to use it.
But I remember the moment I saw this door... I lost my mind. It's so elegant, it's a profound application while still mind bending.... I love when form and function come together like that such it could be art, could be a door, and it's just fine as both.
Most of the time, when art and design marry, it's a form function duality that makes it more like a spork.... trying to operate as two things, you never actually get a functional version of either tool.... the prongs are too short to stab, the spoon too shallow for soup.
So that's my design waxing this AM, trying to get out of actually doing work. I love that door, I love you posted it as a gif.
Honestly, that is the part of what I do that I absolutely love.... design as a punch against the back drop of almost institutional like functionality (our hotels are far less boring than normal boxes, but you get my point). That's the stuff that makes a hotel (and the staff).... I love when you are sort of dazzled, or stopped in your tracks for a moment to recognize how a space "exists". Okay no more coffee.

Like we're all saying, the doors are played out. But whenever I see someone just happy to be driving their shitbox Honda or Datsun, it just makes me smile.
There's kinship on the road, and I'm always happy to see someone else happy, even if they're oblivious to the horrid and disgusting modifications they have made to their vehicles. I sort of look at it as people who love to drive vs people who rather be in an Uber.
Honestly, I am such an unbridled lover of cars, that I love someone's love for cars. If somebody bolts on a wing or spoiler to a Festiva and it makes them happy, that is great.
