If I could choose only one, that would be the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing 😍

Very Interesting...

... I do like it. The bull is cool, but Rilakkuma may be even cooler!
That article needs a good editor...

Interesting article topic but so poorly written. Man Business Insider needs a strong editing team! Besides that, fact checking - the only true scissor doors are the Lamborghini scissor doors on the Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago, which hinge straight up...

Great picture of a great icon.

I wonder if the reality can live up to the dream...(was just talking to someone whose uncle was a first owner of a Gullwing. He sold it because it was so uncomfortable...) Interesting what we are willing to put up with when practicality is no longer the m...
You are right, of course...
By: ThomasM : August 31st, 2017-04:18
Todays supercars arent necessarily more comfortable... It is always fascinating to hear the opinion of not quite addicted car lovers / watch lovers who are first owners about "icons" revered by the addicted. Cheers, TM
Yes true 😁

Best doors are from von Koenigsegg that do not take any more space
By: MTF : August 30th, 2017-16:59
The Koenigsegg doors open and move within the width limits of the car so it can be parked close to other objects and you can still get out. The new doors and other aperture covers on the Regera move by hydraulic mechanisms weighing only 5 kg. You don't ev...

... Car! Give me a Koenig, a Porsche, a Ferrari, a Lotus, a Mercedes. But Lamborghini? Lamborghini lacks the heritage of a Ferrari or a Porsche. My neighbor recently got a Lambo, and only after being called a douche-bag by his wife, kids business associat...

By: ThomasM : August 30th, 2017-19:47
Related to brands and products, maybe more than most, a cornerstone of ThePuristS, and PuristSPro, discussions is that we try to rise above blind fanboy tribalism. This blind fanboy tribalism swings both ways, for and against. Perhaps you were joking, but...
Ps: I do agree there are many douchey Lambo owners and drivers.
By: ThomasM : August 30th, 2017-19:55
That doesnt make the Lamborghinis "simply and utterly douchey" just as shallow banal Rolex owners dont make Rolex banal, or scumbag BMW or snotty self rightous but shitty Prius drivers make the cars shitty or self righteous. BtW Porsches have more than th...
Well put.

One of the many reasons I thoroughly enjoy participating in this community is because the types of behavior you poignantly describe are few and far apart. Unfortunately a certain kind of customer can be found in most high-end product demographics but the ...
I too....

like him a great deal. I don't think that they could have done any better in that regard. And to finally answer your question myself - my preference is predictably Aston's swan wing doors but Lambo's scissors are a close second . Cheers, Filip
Oh, yes,
By: InHavenPro : August 31st, 2017-13:12
I was thinking of Dr. Palmer, but Ms. Schwab too as well! Cheers, Filip
Agreed.

By: elliot55 : August 31st, 2017-11:26
... Spot on. I meant to say that I find the Lamborghini to be on the douchey side of cars. Just my humble opinion, which I'm guessing I need to keep to myself. It wasn't meant to be a slight to Lambo owners per se. Of course, I cannot be the barometer of ...
Your "humble opinions" need not be kept to yourself.
By: ThomasM : August 31st, 2017-12:16
Hi, Scott, Forgive me if I'm wrong, but there is something a bit disingenuous in your comments, segue from your original post starting this whole sub-thread: "Give me a Koenig, a Porsche, a Ferrari, a Lotus, a Mercedes. But Lamborghini? Lamborghini lacks ...
Thanks Thomas. Your Points Are...
By: elliot55 : August 31st, 2017-15:26
... Well taken. When I look back on my original post(s) related to this topic I can definitely see how it may have been taken as rude - especially to those who actually own a Lamborghini. It was not meant as such. There are only 6 homes on our private cul...
Agreed, "'nuf said."
By: ThomasM : September 1st, 2017-14:27
for the photography forum, anyway, as your last reply hint at too many self-contradictory self conflicted opinions that to delve deeper here would be inappropriate... (for example: you mention "the money spent on just one of these cars could..." but I can...
I disagree
By: Gelato Monster : August 30th, 2017-19:39
The 350GT and the 400GT are drop dead gorgeous. The Miura Oh my GOD. the rest, ok I can understand your opinion about the design.
Thank You...
By: elliot55 : September 1st, 2017-10:29
... We agree. - Scott
nice design
By: Gelato Monster : September 3rd, 2017-04:59
Dont get me wrong, Modern Lamborghini does maintain its design DNA heritage and they are nice design, but perhaps not for some people. For me the 350GT and 400GT is even more attractive than the Miura.
I didn't see this coming Elliot....

By: elliot55 : August 31st, 2017-15:53
... The Lamborghini owners. I was going after Lamborghini itself. Frankly, I love, love, love the more vintage Lambos. The Diablo springs to mind. The 350GT and 400GT might be some of the best looking cars ever made. And who doesn't love an Urraco? I will...

I can't resist. I prefer the "wings". Very pompous! Cheers, Nilo
I am also going with "Wings"
By: cshimokita : August 31st, 2017-05:12
maybe in a series "Undercover" would complement other photos, but (IMHO) as a stand alone photo it's only one part of the elephant. The background also works a little better with "Wings"... Lovely... always good to see your photos and your take on a theme...
"One part of the elephant..." that sums up why that picture
By: ThomasM : August 31st, 2017-08:05
Appealed to me - a snake? A tree trunk? Yet, the "Lamborghini doors" are so iconic one cant help but know what that is a part of... For some reason that shot also brought to mind iconic shots of the top rear corner of open police cruiser doors with the li...
Wings for me.
