List of Cars With Non-standard Door Designs - Other Door Types

Other Door Types

• Aston Martin uses a "swan door" design on their Vantage, DB9, Virage, DBS, Rapide and One-77 models. They open outward like a conventional door, but hinge slightly upward as well for better ground clearance.
• The Jaguar C-X75 and Honda HSC also feature swan doors.
• Alfa Romeo Disco Volante - similar to the swan doors
• Alfa Romeo Pandion - large rear-hinged scissor doors
• Ford GT, Ford GT40 and Ford GT90 - Panels extend from the top of the doors, which fill gaps on both sides of the roof
• Honda CR-V - Side doors conventional but early models featured unusual two-part rear door with window top hinged whilst lower door side hinged. Design not continued onto later models.
• Isetta - Single front-mounted door was hinged on one side
• Koenigsegg uses a "dihedral synchro-helix" system for their vehicles (named raptor doors by a company which makes a door conversion kit for regular cars) which are similar to scissor doors but are much more mechanically complex. This is used in their CC8S, CCR, CCX, Agera, and Agera R models.
• Mitsubishi Toppo and Hyundai Veloster - Single door on the one side and front and rear door on the other side.
• Peugeot EX1 Concept - Each of the two "suicide doors" is adjoined with a corresponding seat, so opening a door out moves the seat out for easier seating.
• Zündapp Janus - Front and rear mounted side-hinged doors
• BMW-Mini Clubman - Has a 3-door hardtop. The rear door is only available on the (N.A.) passenger side, has no exterior handle, and is less than half the width of the front door.
• Smart Crossblade - Has a minimal "sword-like" door.
