For the youngsters out there and those with failing memories, +Tesla Motors https://plus.google.com/114133424228405038490/posts/bvn5Hv6iKJP is not the first company to do double hinged gull-wing doors. Way back in the early 1970s the Chevrolet Aerovette concept used the same idea to help limit the outward swing of the doors by adding a second hinge at the base of the side windows.

    probably just as well though, eh? By the time this would have reached production, these really cool multi-hinged gull wing doors would have been designed and assembled by the same people who brought us the wonderful quality the Chevy Citation had in the late 70's early 80's.

    People would have lost their arms in these things.
