A friend of mine "swears" he saw a new model 996 with gull wing doors on it in Phoenix...is this possible or did he ave to many beers on the golf course? Does anyone do an aftermarket gull wing mod? Thanks P.s. I have $20 bet that says he is wrong.
Depending on how the bet went, you may have lost 20 bucks. There is a 996 that has been modified, one of the modifications being a gull wing. It's not OEM, but one crazy fool did it. There was a pic circulating a while back, not photoshop.
http://www.hamann-motorsport.de/programme/e61.htm It's not a "Gull Wing" which really opens flat, vertically (Mercedes) it's more of a Lamborghini design. There are a few after-market companies that will put these scissor action door hinges in anything -- it's becoming common to see these door hinges on "tuner" cars like Hondas. Just Google for Lamborghini doors and you'll see some kits. These doors are heavier and a complete pain in the **** to get in and out of the car. But they look great.
Pay up. Jeff
That is one fine looking unique pcar. It appears to have soming on it's top. Does anybody know what that black thing is?
I think it looks cool on the 911. Not an improvement at all...but a different look thats not bad.
That particular car sits in the Hamann showroom here in Dubai ( www.hamann-me.com ) and is one of a kind from Hamann. The owner of the car is also the owner of Hamann Motrosport Middle East and the car was produced for him (based on Gen.1 GT3) on order and is called the San Diego Express. Produced for a car show in San Diego. The roof is carbon fiber with a Le Mans/GT1 type vent. Paint is cameleon blue/purple/silver Ciao, Johannes
Those are all examples of butterfly doors, which are different from gullwing. Unless I'm mistaken... butterfly, gullwing, and scissor doors are all different.
Johannes, That's a pretty freaky signature. And it's correct. How did you do that? Regards, JON
Jon, Visit www.danasoft.com Ciao, Johannes E.
OK, so I'm out $20....wow...what a great look. What do you figure that would cost aftermarket..and is it only Hamann?
I don't think so. Gullwing doors are hinged at the roof, which is impossible on a 996. Gullwing are Delorean type. Butterfly are shown above. Scissor doors are Lambo style.
[/B][/QUOTE] I saw this car in the international auto saloon in Geneva last march '03, this one was really really impressive!
carbon_00 you may be able to win the bet on a technicality...those really aren't true gullwing, ie ML 300 SL, Delorean, etc...
