The only current Lamborghini in production which uses this design is the Murciélago.The Lamborghini Murciélago is a supercar made by Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. and designed by Luc Donckerwolke. It was introduced in 2002 as the successor to the Diablo. The Murciélago is a two door, two seat coupé. To celebrate the Lamborghini company's 40th birthday, 50 special edition Murciélagos were built during the autumn of 2003.An open-top version called the Murciélago roadster was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year.

The roadster features similar performance to the coupé with a more aggressive rear flank, as well as a considerably higher price tag.The Murciélago sports a 6.2 L version of the legendary Lamborghini V12 engine, a six-speed manual or six-speed sequential automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine.

The name Murciélago comes from a bull that survived 24 sword strokes in an 1879 fight at the arena of Cordoba, and fought with such passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare honor. In another Lamborghini tie-in, the bull was later presented as a gift to Don Antonio Miura, a noted breeder, and went on to sire a line of famous fighting bulls. Murciélago also means bat in Spanish, and a Murciélago roadster is featured briefly in the movie Batman Begins. The coupé's base price is US$273,000, which is US$90,000 more than its smaller sibling, the Lamborghini Gallardo.Lamborghini have announced two more powerful models, the XTR, a track-only car with a 700 bhp version of the V12, and the LP640 with 640 bhp. Although the XTR is not street legal, the LP640 met the standards and is expected to be introduced in March 2007.For more information on Lamborghini Murcielago, please visit: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Murci%C3%A9lago vertical door

How does a Vertical Door function?

When inside you will grab the door handle of the car. Pulling the door toward you the door will open 12 - 18 inches like they do normally. From there the door will stop and not open horizontally any further. Once done you will now grab the bottom of the door and lift vertically. The door will then reach a certain point which it will not lift anymore. At this point you will be able to get in and out of the vehicle. In normal case the bottom back portion of the door will be higher than the roof of the vehicle.

When outside you will grab the door handle of the car. Pulling the door toward you the door will open 12 - 18 inches like they do normally. From there the door will stop and not open horizontally any further. Once done you will now grab the edge of the door and lift vertically. The door will then reach a pre-determined point at which it will not lift anymore. At this point you will be able to get in and out of the vehicle. In normal case the bottom back portion of the door will be higher than the roof of the vehicle.

It swings up 90 degrees so you don't have to crawl into the car, you simply open it, get in, and close it.

The kit is 100% CNC machined using 4130 chromyl steel construction. The kits have electrolyses nickel plated for corrosion protection and show quality. It includes four 150lbs struts, door hinges, adjustable brackets, instructions and all hardware required to install the kit.

The hinges are 100% reversible should you wish to put the factory hinges back on your vehicle. Since most scissor door manufacturers use the original factory latches and locks, the process is as simple as switching the door hinge.
































90 Degree Vertical Door:

The Vertical Door kit is designed for a universal fit and easy installation. It will lift the doors up to a 90 degrees vertical direction. The door will be able to stay straight up instead of having them hanging on the side as you would have from a vertical door inc. or specific bolt-on kit. It comes with dual nitrogen gas struts that rate 300lbs lifting force per door. The four adjustable points on the hinge allows the doors to have a unique look.

Vertical Doors

Today, February 14th 2007 i will discuss two other types of vertical doors to help you differ from all the types of vertical doors available on the market. The two types of vertical doors that i will discuss today are: Gt Factory Vertical Doors and Razor Vertical Doors. There is a slight difference in the two but each has its own character. The first vertical door i will discuss is The Gt Factory Vertical Door.

Gt Factory Vertical Door
Below is details and specifications of a Gt Factory Vertical Door

The GT Factory Diablo Vertical Door Conversion System is OVER 300% stronger than any other kit on the market! This is really important in the sturdiness of the kit, it is important so that the doors are not wobbly, and this is naturally going to help in the longevity.

This kit has a lot of adjustability, more than any other kit provides! Direct bolt on kits adjustability is extremely limited and they come pre-determined in the degrees that it comes out and goes vertical. The GT Factory Diablo Vertical Door Conversion System is the ONLY kit that has the ability to go completely vertical if you desire, a full 25 degrees out and then a direct 90 degrees vertical (as far as the vehicle can clear). You can see the difference with this kit compared to other kits with just a glance! While other kits are sagging out to the sides (blocking your way in and out of the car) and looking more like wings than vertical, this kit will make your doors go completely vertical (90 degrees) and the doors are actually perpendicular to the vehicle. This provides the cleanest look and allows the most clearance! This much clearance makes it so easy to get in and out of the vehicle, where you do not need to arch your back, watch your head or be at a certain angle to get in and out of the car. This also makes it easier to get other things, such as shopping bags or purchases in and out of your vehicle with out any problem at all. With other brands the degrees that the doors go vertical is pre-determined and ranges aprox. between 30-65 degrees vertical.

While other kits only use one gas strut that has the force of 150 pounds per door, the GT Factory Diablo Vertical Door Conversion System utilizes two smaller and more powerful gas struts per door (total of 4 gas struts) that have the force of 300 pounds per door. Therefore, GT Factory can lift up twice as much door weight than any other kit and can lift any door twice as easy! This kit is really easy to use, lifting the doors up and bringing them back down does not require any muscle at all. You even have the ability to lift the door half way and it will hold for you to quickly get in and out.

GT Factory provides a limited lifetime warranty and guarantees their vertical door conversion kit will fit your vehicle (except VW Beetle) or your money back! The kit comes with a CD full of over 130 high resolution installation pictures and explanatory instructions. GT Factory not only designed this revolutionary vertical door conversion system, but also preforms this installation on a daily basis so technical support is always available to handle any installation questions as well as tips and suggestions. THESE ARE UNBELIEVABLY LOW PRICES for the Revolutionary GT Factory Diablo Vertical Door System!

Vertical Door Benefits

Today I will discuss the benefits of two types of vertical doors: Autoloc Vertical Doors and Gravity Upright Vertical Doors. Each of these vertical doors has special added benefits with different technology. I will also included detailed pictures to differntiate the two types.I will start by discussing ther Autoloc Vertical Door

Piston Assembly: precise control during the extension stroke.
Self Cleaning Orifice: Automatically opens during each spring compression to keep it clear and free flowing.

Vertical Doors

Doors are on upswing among car enthusiasts all over the world.There's something about swinging your car door skyward like a jackknife blade that announces you've arrived.
At least arrived in the sense that you're making the latest cutting-edge auto fashion statement. Along with big wheels and blaring stereos, car customizers are finding that upward-swinging doors are the latest must-have. For those whose "ultimate accomplishment is to have a dream car," adding the door feature "definitely adds to the 'eye candy' of the vehicle," says Cory Nastazio, a BMX rider whose silver Mercedes S500 is equipped with the high-profile doors.

The kits consist of the hinges and a gas-filled shock that acts like a spring to make heavy doors easy to open or close. The company now has them for more than 100 models. They retail from $1,399 to $6,500 — the higher-priced units going to luxury cars, which can be more complicated and generally cost another $500 to $2,000 to have installed.

Create a show-stopper by converting your car or truck front doors to open up Lambo Style with a vertical door kit!

Vertical doors were first developed by Italian automotive designer Bertone for a prototype car that never actually made it to market. However in 1971, Bertone and Italian sports-car maker Lamborghini made a big impact in the world of exotics. The Lamborghini Countach was an instant hit, and would become known as one of the world's most impressive exotic super-cars. For the next 30 years, Lamborghini continued to define the super-car genre. At each step along the way, one of the most talked-about features have been the vertical-lift doors. The unique doors have become firmly associated with the ultimate performance machine. Most installations of vertical doors include no welding, no drilling, no painting or re-painting, no leaking, and no cutting.
Vertical doors, also called lambo doors or vertical doors, are a type of door often seen on high-performance automobiles. The McLaren F1, Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, Saleen S7, Enzo Ferrari, and the Mercedes-Benz SLR, among others, use vertical doors. The Toyota Sera was a limited-release car designed exclusively for the Japanese market which used this design. Due to its unusual design, some enthusiasts in Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain have privately imported the Toyot Sera.

VERTICAL DOORS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
article can be found at http://www.verticaldoors.com/pdf/vert_doors_Install.pdf

Remove headlight assemblies and side fenders. Secure door by using wood paint sticks or shims into door gaps. Once shims are in place you may now remove the hinges. Unplug the wire loom leading from the door into the cowl. Remove the rubber wire boot. Before installing the hinge you must cut an area on the inner panel to allow the hinge to mount flush. Hold the hinge into place and mark the area that is interfering and cut away.

Install the Vertical hinge using supplied bolts. Install hydraulic ram cylinders. There are two adjustment areas located on each hinge. One for the door height adjustment and one for the opening stop, which will allow the door to only swing open approx. 12” before it rises upward.

Once the vertical hinges are tightened, you may carefully open the door. Check for door height by slowly closing the door. Raise or lower the door by adjusting the Allen screw on the hinge (make sure locking nut is loosened before adjusting and tightened using lock tight when finished). Once this step is complete you can now check for the swing adjustment. When opening the door it should swing approx. 12” before coming to a stop. At this point lift upwards until the door is all the way up. Open and close 5-10 times to insure that the door is operating properly and the adjustments are acceptable. When operating do not apply unnecessary pressure or make harsh movements as the door will move quite freely. This will eliminate premature wear or damage to the hinge assy. Plug the door wires back in and use the supplied black wire conduit to wrap the wires. Use a zip tie to secure the wire loom to the hinge so that it is kept out of the way during operation. Before reinstalling the fender and headlight chasse, you must trim the inside of the fender and door.

Neither of these trim spots will require painting if done correctly. When trimming the door we found that is was best to use 3/8” masking tape to run along the leading edge as shown to get the correct width. This will leave you with a front door thickness of 3/8”. When trimming the inside of the fender we also recommend using tape as a guide. This cut is not critical but we recommend 1” from the fender edge and when approaching the top of the fender, taper it up so that you do not cut through the inner-structure. You will loose one mounting point on the fender when it is cut but it will not affect the strength. On the right side of the fender area you will need to relocate the vacuum canister to allow movement of the hinge.

At this point you are ready re- mount the fenders and headlights. While mounting the fenders make sure to carefully check for door clearance when opening. Some additional slight trimming may be needed to ensure that the door does not hit the fender. Be sure to use plastic conduits to cover electrical wires. Hinges come pre-greased but should be greased every 6 months to a year depending on usage. This installation can be reversed at anytime so be sure to save all removed parts.
