Lincoln Navigator Gull Wings?

[tdelta1000]

Surprised this didn't get posted yet......Funny stuff and terribly obvious

Lincoln's huge Navigator Concept has falcon-wing doors like the Tesla Model X

It looks like an oversized Range with a super gull wing door.

To me it's hilarious because it's a single door across both driver and passenger (front and back).

That's actually a selling point. One of the most ridiculous parts of the Tesla design is that they brag you need less space with the falcon wing doors than with a traditional door, but the driver's door is still traditional meaning that you still need all the space.
So you can't park in narrow spots due to the front doors, and you can't park in low spots or have a roof rack due to the rear doors, it's the worst of both worlds.

Of course as others have pointed out, the Lincoln ones don't seem to hinge in the middle like the Falcon Wing Doors, so they won't work in a narrow spot, and there's about a 0% chance they'll make it to production anyway.

Does the caddy have a dry ice machine so there will be fog when the doors open?

Navigator’s design is, fittingly, inspired by the world of luxury boating.

Has anyone even noted that the Tesla Falcon Wing doors have TWO axis of arms? While this only has one...

How big will your garage need to be for those doors to open??

Probably something along the lines of a CargoLifter...

notice 3 people at lower left for scale.​

Article said Gull WIng doors were not intended for production.

Included in concept only to better show off the interior.
