It looks like the entire side panel forward of the seam on the rear third of it either slides forward or swings upward pivoting around the front wheel support.
That said, the biggest problem with this is a complete lack of safety cage structure inside. Might make for an okay dune buggy (which I think is their intent) but it would never get cleared for highway use.
EDIT: Nevermind, the side panels are mesh fabric that unzips along that seam. The doors open forward like a regular car, with the side 'mirror' being the only rigid part mounted to the door frame. And it looks like this is being marketed to Africa exclusively... So getting cleared by any kind of safety regulations for highway use was never a concern.Last edited by Feign; 07-17-2014 at 10:44 AM.
