WFS : Matiz with new concept doors

Stumbled across something awful / hilarious / both elsewhere on the internet? Be it Ebay, owners' clubs, local news or anywhere else, we want to see it!

WFS : Matiz with new concept doors

Post by rovorsche » Thu Apr 17, 2008 1:12 pm

To me a door is a fairly boring item on a car.
All it has to do is open, close and slow down anything on its way through the car in the event of an accident.

But this boredom seems to provoke Barrys into action.
Suicide doors went out of fashion on everything except black taxis.
Lambo doors only belong on a Lambo.
Gull wing doors are thankfully rare.

I stumbled across a new concept though whilst rummaging through Youtube.
possibly modeled on a Gerry Anderson SPV I present the Cutting Edge of barely functional door tecnology..... Side Exit ejector doors

Oh and I think your bonnet bulge is on upside down mate.
Image
Maybe the passenger can lean out to help balance the car like sidecar racing, not sure of the benefits of the drivers seat joining in.
Image
Not designed for Fat Bastards or smiley people.

Ever wondered where 1980s disco speakers end up ? Mystery solved I reckon.

Couldn't find any bigger pictures but I think you get the idea.
I'm sure the UK Matiz Drifting Club will be offering conversion kits soon.

Pictures from here

I saw those doors being fitted on some yanktank on one of the few Pimp My Rides I've actually watched. The opening and closing mechanisms must weight more than the rest of the car...

I wander if the little 0.8 engine in that, can actually carry all the weight from the speakers and the door mechanisms or if barry has to get it towed about...



awaits flaming for getting engine size wrong, but I'm positive thats the size of them...

Yes they do come with an 800cc engine, but the later ones are offered with an option of a fire breathing 1000cc engine.

What happens if you just open one door and sit on the seat? Does it tip over?
Running through the ruins, all directions wrong.

Fucking hell, these people have far too much time on their hands.

The consequences of accidentally triggering the open mechanism while driving would be damn messy too :shock:

I think I would probably pay to see that. Either to have the door ripped off by a wall, or a hedge or a passing fly. Or just tipping it at speed would be hilarious.

67 NM of torque! that thing must not move under it's own power. It would take more force than that to open the gay doors that stop you from getting in or out of the vehicle.
