Looks very clever.

Presumably there would be a manual device in case of electrical failure? I remember the BMW Z1 with the drop down doors.At 6"6" I couldnt get in it with the hood up as the gap was so narrow! :lol:

Pretty cool! Thank god they never had that on the 928 as you would always have a permanently open or closed door when the electrics failed

Cool concept. Why hasn't this been put into production on most cars?

Very neat, not sure what happens to the crash structure once up.
