Too Afraid to Ask

Gullwing doors are car doors that open up like wings instead of swinging out to the side. They look cool and are often found on fancy sports cars.

Technical Definition

Gullwing doors are a type of automobile door that is hinged at the roof rather than the side, allowing the door to open upward. This design is often associated with sports cars and adds a unique aesthetic appeal.
