A newcomer to the world of supercars would think we’ve all gone a bit crazy. Cars as low as a pig’s belly and exhausts as large as a whale’s gaping mouth. It’s even worse when you try to open the doors, sliding butterflies that like to commit suicide with scissors, as we once put it.
But there is a bit of method to their madness. McLaren uses butterfly doors because their cab-forward layout means you’d look silly getting out if not for that gape. Lamborghini meanwhile has their own thing going, copied by everybody in the tuning industry.
The now obsolete Murcielago Roadster is one example, but the Aventador is as well. They both come with scissor doors that open upwards, like a peacock's feather display.
The design might be flash, but is actually quite effective in the confines of an underground car park, as this really cool pic by Julien Fautrat proves. There’s plenty of room to light the doors, and no danger of scratching them on the car next to you.
