1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo Concept, the scissor door is invented! 1974, the Lamborghini Countach is released and scissor doors will henceforth forever be known as "Lambo-doors"
They’re called scissor doors originally not Lambo-doors. Because Lamborghini started making more cars with scissor doors, they began calling it “Lambo-doors”. Correct me if I am wrong.
I don’t think Lamborghini coined that term themselves I think it happened due to what you said, they were recognizable because really only Lamborghini’s had them ( at least to the eye of the general public) so people just started calling them “Lambo-doors” because for all they knew Lamborghini’s were the only cars with them, and anything after that took inspiration from Lamborghini.
Really?!?! I did not know that!
minds of ignorant car guys blowing all over the world *
HAHAHAHA Thats my good deed for the day done
LOL Alfa Romeo Carabo Rules
Such a cool concept, it’s a shame it was never put into production though
Looks bit like a Stratos too, Italy is crazy
Where would we be if it weren’t for those quirky Italians??
The idea was thought up because they helped people in tight car parking spaces which meant easy access
Also lets you reverse your car looking like an absolute boss!
Yes, I have a pair of Polistil from that period (brand of car toys in Italy)
Never heard of them! Got any of them handy to take a pictire of?
Not now sorry, but if I find them, I show them to you!
No worries! I’ll google it
I hate it when people say lambo doors
Really grinds my gears… I hate when anybody uses colloquial brand names, Like band-aid instead of bandage or ziplock instead of plastic bag.
