Different Car Door Types You Need To Know by obafemee80(m): 7:15pm On Jun 25, 2017 |
[img]http:///a/img923/7517/x35H9q.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img923/3627/jE5pcm.jpg[/img] There are nine major door types,or eight if we don’t count the conventional ones:conventional doors,butterfly doors,suicide doors,gull-wing doors,scissor doors,sliding doors,canopy doors,dyhedral doors and swan doors. We won’t go too far into history and analyze their pros and cons,but instead we’re going to present their structure and name a few cars using them. 1)Conventional(Regular)Doors: [img]http:///a/img924/6555/TzG5ps.png[/img] [img]http:///a/img922/1238/0bYryI.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img924/1285/lkyaNf.png[/img] A conventional door,also known as a regular door is a type of door that is hinged at the front-facing edge of the door,and so allows the door to swing outward from the body of the car.These doors are relatively safe, in that if they are opened during forward motion of the vehicle,the wind resistance will work against the opening door,and will effectively force its closure. A few models using the conventional doors are Toyota Rav4, Audi R8 and Mercedes-Benz CLS 2)Butterfly Doors: [img]http:///a/img924/1938/8hJqx9.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img922/7200/HCKYtn.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img923/7343/xi43ZE.jpg[/img] Very similar to scissor doors,the butterfly system allows the doors to move outwards and then up,which indeed improves the access.Still, they can also affect the interior space, but this isn’t quite of the main focus for the aforementioned models. A few models using butterfly doors are Ferrari Enzo Ferrari, Saleen S7,Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren and McLaren F1, although some of them use rely on slightly modified systems. 3)Suicide Doors: [img]http:///a/img924/8424/K5BAWD.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img922/758/lBitxY.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img922/7992/TlKcZ7.jpg[/img] In just a few words,suicide doors are actually those that hinge from the rear end of the door, which means they open in the opposite direction. Wondering why they’re called “suicide”? The nickname is mainly due to the design's propensity to seriously injure anyone exiting or entering the offside of the car if the door is hit by a passing vehicle and also due to the potential for the door to fly open when the latch was released while car was in motion . Cars using suicide doors include the Opel Meriva,Rolls Royce Phantom/Wraith,Spyker D12,the 1940 Peugeot 601,2015 F-150 and the 2011 Mazda RX-8. 4)Gull-wing Doors: [img]http:///a/img923/5126/gujspx.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img922/1707/BuVeo1.jpg[/img] Gullwing doors are actually hinged at the roof and opening upwards. Inspired from seagull(bird)wings,this exotic design not only contributes to a more aggressive look,but it’s also very useful in crowded cities,where parking space is very limited. Among the models that relied on gullwing doors are the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG,Gumpert Apollo,DeLorean DMC-12 and Pagani Huayra. 5)Scissor Doors: [img]http:///a/img923/1338/TUtxIT.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img923/3687/Sq3UIo.jpg[/img] The whole system is quite simple because scissor doors use a typical hinge mounted at the front of the door,but instead of rotating outwards as it happens in the case of a conventional door,they go up,using a vertical configuration. Obviously useful in tight parking,spaces,scissor doors can be seen on Lamborghini Aventador, Diablo,Murcielago and Reventon,Spyker C8 and C12 Zagato and Bugatti EB110 6)Sliding Doors: [img]http:///a/img923/1516/9w8NlI.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img922/966/2RNe2y.jpg[/img] There’s no doubt you know what’s that a sliding door and you most likely see one every day on minivans or commercial vehicles which use such a configuration for easy access. The doors are in most cases mounted on a track,so it’s enough to slide it horizontally to open any of them. What’s more interesting is that car manufacturers have adopted sliding doors for passenger cars as well, mostly in an attempt to improve passenger access and make our lives easier when fighting with the lack of parking spaces. 1954 Kaiser Darrin is one of the models that used sliding doors,so also is Peugeot 1007,Citroen C8,Chrysler Voyager and Kia Sedona,although some of these adopted a more or less altered configuration. 7)Canopy Doors: [img]http:///a/img922/411/VO3Ktg.png[/img] [img]http:///a/img924/2590/jSZuWM.jpg[/img] A canopy is a type of door which sits on top of a car and lifts up in some way,to provide access for passengers.It is similar to an aircraft canopy. A vehicle canopy is a rarely used type of door for cars.It has no official name so it is also known as an articulated canopy, bubble canopy,cockpit canopy,canopy door,or simply a canopy. Cars using suicide doors include the Saab Aero-X and Sterling Nova. Dihedral Doors: [img]http:///a/img924/2548/BrzLkU.jpg[/img] They open by rotating 90° at the hinge.Cars using dihedral doors include the Koenigsegg Agera,Koenigsegg Agera R and Koenigsegg Regera 9) Swan doors: [img]http:///a/img922/7127/yUMBre.jpg[/img] They open outward like either a conventional door or a suicide door, but hinge slightly upward as well for better ground clearance, includes some vehicles such Aston Martin CC100 Speedster and Aston Martin DB9. There is also a not so popular BMW Isetta 600, with Front Hinged door. The adorable Isetta bubble car fitted the brief for compact postwar mobility for the masses,with its 2.3-metre by 1.3-metre footprint and teeny 236cc, 9bhp engine.
