Are Lambo Doors Safe?

If you drive up and down Boca they may be hard to detect but the number of cars with Lambo Doors is growing every day! Lambo doors are also known as vertical or scissor doors and they get their name from the close reassemble to those employed by the car maker Lamborghini, an Italian super car manufacture known for pushing the envelope when it comes to design. Lambo is street slang for Lamborghini, and this style of doors became famous by several Lamborghini models including the Countach, Diablo and Murcielago.

Lambo door are unique because they open upward from back to front, pivoting at the front door hinge forward, just behind the fender and resting in a vertical position. Today, you can order lambodoor conversion kits for a wide variety of American and imported cars and trucks. While Lamborghini (the car manufacturer) has done plenty of testing and engineering research to assure their cars meets DOT safety specs. We were not able to find any data on, how safe are lambo doors?

There are not enough vehicles on the road with aftermarket lambo door conversion kits to trigger action from the department of transportation and even if they were, very few aftermarket parts and accessories are require to meet the specs of original manufacturer equipment unless they are a replacement part.

While lambo doors, scissor doors, vertical doors or whatever you want to call them make a statement when it come to styling, the concern is about how this type of car door will behave in the event of an accident. How would first responders know that the car doors don't open outwards but rather vertically up? As a Boca car accident attorney I don't have an answers for this question but intrigue about the lack of date available on this subject!
