Disappearing Car Door

21.1M views · 19 years ago · demo · evergreen

A short demonstration video of a car door that drops down and rotates under the car body so that it disappears when open. It shows the mechanism in action with no commentary on its design intent.

HN people submit it as a curiosity and reference it when discussing unusual car door mechanisms like the Tesla Model X's.

“I've always been slightly enamored with the rotary drop doors that slide under the car”

I've always been slightly enamored with the rotary drop doors that slide under the car [1]. I would never buy a car with them, but they are interesting none the less. [1] ▶ this video
