What's the difference between the old gullwing Mercedes Benz and the new SLS AMG doors?
Problem:The engineers were are not allowed to make gull wing doors like they did in the 50's... it's a kinder-softer-gentler time in the world of cars, and if a driver flipped a new gullwing on the roof, they wouldn't be able to get out.
Solution:
The SLS AMG has exploding bolts at the door hinges.
