Thats awesome. It must be the cimbria as its in the USA. The doors have also been hinged to open like a toyota sera, I was going to try and do that but couldnt work it out.

As far as I know, only the U.K. Front engined SS had the raised blanked off rear engine air inlets above rear wheels ( correct me if I am wrong ).
I used to have details of a road going SS , using pancake motors at the rear, but have moved so many times, the literature eludes me. it was just to show off the capabilities on their pancake motors. Same with losing a firms literature that made copies of the ss with normal opening doors, fully built for sale but they could not meet the new transport regs, and eventually closed.

ALL SSs have the vents on the rear wings, apart from the 2+2 of course. All come blanked off to be worked on or not as required. The doors are what are known as Enzo doors after the Ferrari of that name. One can buy a set of hinges that convert the doors to 'Lambo' , not cheap and would require a bit of reinforcement to the 'A' post, something I have pondered on in the past.

Now thats one fast SS, amazing would be nice to see a picture of the power plant sat in the engine bay.
Doors seem to fit alot better with the Lambo door conversion too but not sure about mounting them so close to the expensive front screen.
Agree with Peter perhaps it could be an option in the future when mine finally comes out of storage as nothing ventured nothing gained.

Lithium Batteries are stored either side between front and rear bulkheads, and are water cooled.

The Danish drag racing team, True Cousins and their electric motorcycle Silver Lightning have broken the Electric Record at Santa Pod Raceway during the event “NOT The Euro Finals” event September 13-11-2020 They did not bring the car last year cos it was "Broken", so maybe you my see it in 2022.

I think one would be OK with Lambo doors as they fit on the vertical body below the screen but Enzo doors fit higher on the window frame so not such a good idea for a SS. For the SS gull wing to go Lambo the hinge would be much simpler as it would not need to 'kick out' first like a 'normal car' does but lift straight up.
I am Looking at lambo doors too, when the basics are done, like getting the bugger to go and stop.
