Gullwing
Doors
Gullwing
doors get there name from the nature of their opening which
mimics the appearance of a sea gull's wings in flight. Gullwing
doors are hinged at the top and swing upwards, in the open
position they are supported by gas shocks to prevent them
falling. The first car to use gullwing doors was the Mercedes
300SL Coupe. Other models with this feature include the DeLorean
DMC-12, Brickin SV-1 and, most recently, the Ferrari Enzo.
Not to be confused with scissor doors.
