the top reminds me of a small car from Germany.
it is a steel folding top covered with fabric.
it existed in 2004-2009.

Love the looks of t R but the lambo doors ruins it for me.

What was/is the point of this "mod". A convertible hardtop is much superior to a soft top unless you're just taken by the soft top look.

As to the (lambo door latch) setup, never heard of it. Is that suggesting (suicide reverse opening doors) or possibly (gull wing) type opening doors on a few older Mercedes.

Funny how ya can be involved with streetrods and Hotrods and specialty vechicles since the 50's................and along comes a term like (lambo doors)///////////and you have no clue whatsoever:|:|

That "mod" reminds me of the cars from the 80's and 90's that were hardtops but had convertible cloth covering the roof to give the appearance of a convertible. I don't think many people were fooled.

Yes the top is still factory but covered with the “tuxedo” top like limo’s used to have!!

 

[Dr Who]

I would really like to pick the mind of the person that came up with this concept. A lot of work went into that R. Just would like to know the reasoning behind the color and the top....

 

[xoxoxoBruce]

I'd guess it's because that's what blows their skirt up. :lol
Customizing is funny thing, some do it to be different, and some do it because they are trying to improve on what the factory built. But it still boils down to personal taste.

It refers to lamborghini style doors, just abbreviated to "lambo"

 

[xoxoxoBruce]

Lambo doors.
