LSD Wing Doors for Nissan GT-R

Nissan GT-R with LSD wing doors

LSD Design released information on their new wing doors for the Nissan GT-R. The creatively named LSD Flügeltürbeschläge, which is not actually a good choice for a "safe word" with your dominatrix, is one more step in the quest by aftermarket parts makers to customize every Nissan GT-R that comes off the line.

We kid, of course. "Flügeltürbeschläge" loosely translates from German as a more multisyllabic way of saying "fitted wing door." For €1949, you get the accessory with roller guides, to guarantee precision every time the door is opened or closed. The guides are also adjustable, to ensure the best fit possible. Also nice is that the doors can bolt on pretty easily, "without welding and paint work," according to the design firm.

These wings are much easier to use than they are to pronounce, since the company used the original mounting points that Nissan used. When getting out, simply open the door slightly outward, and let it go up in the air. Closing the doors is done in one fluid motion.

The wings are now commercially available. Sadly, you will probably not be able to score a license plate that says "Flügeltürbeschläge".

They Should Come As Standard On All GT-R's. It Adds A New Element To The Car.

No they shouldn't. It looks stupid. If you're going to post, post something intelligent.

Haha, true that. Lambo doors (if you can call it those anymore...) are so dated. Just stick to normal doors for crying out loud.

Gullwings and scissors only suit cars that were built for them... pure sacrelige to do this to a GT-R...

I agree. Seems utterly pointless and nothing of what the GTR represents at all.

This is the most dumb modification I've ever seen on a GT-R. I hate people who try to rice the GT-R.

Scissor doors were originally put on supercars because the doors were too wide and too low for normal hinges. Here it's just pointless, it probably even adds weight.

Agreed. Scissor doors look stupid on most cars, especially cars that don't need them. The GTR looks stupid with them.

I hate riced out lambo doors, but I have to say, I find these actually aesthetically appealing to my eye... I think that the GTR doesnt get the supercar attention on the road it should (lots of them driving around here, no one looks 2x at them) and this will remind people just what kind of a beast it is... Plus some of these modifications allow you to open the doors normally and lambo-tistically:) so why not?

i reckon that after trying countless times to pronounce the word... flugulflugbsheturbolag, you will realise that they are not the best idea in the world because by the time you will have fluently pronounced the word, you gt-r will depreciate massively.
