We’ve had discussions with top General Motors designers about how the shape of the C8 Corvette came to be. There were several design elements that were indeed considered, but unfortunately didn’t make the final cut for production. A split rear window, for example, was one of them. But we were also told that the mid-engined Corvette was supposed to be “designed for the ten-year-old kid.” Kids love scissor doors, don’t they? We’re a few years older than ten years old at this point, and we know that we liked them back then, and we still do now. But the C8 is missing these “Lambo doors” as they’re otherwise known. Thankfully, there’s a solution.
Eikon Motorsports, which specializes in so-called “Lambo door kits,” from the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, C7 Corvette and even the Dodge Challenger, have announced a scissor door kit for the C8 Corvette, priced at $2,899. With install, the price jumps to $4,300. That’s nearly $2,000 more than what a C7 kit commands. However, there’s a deal if you pre-order now. For $2,999, you get the kit, install, and a warranty. Below is the announcement in full:
(We are proud to announce that we are now officially accepting Pre-Orders for the C-8 corvette. Pre-Order pricing includes the kit, installation, and lifetime warranty on both for $2,999.) – Update

We think this is how the mid-engine Corvette should be leaving the factory. Maybe Chevrolet would be keen on adding scissor doors to the C8 Corvette as a rolling update.
