Front Doors Slide Up??

I've seen a few pictures of RX8's that the front doors slide upwards instead of opening like they normally do. Was this a special edition of the RX8 or is this some kind of mod?

open your doors and slam on the brakes, then they'll get stuck in that position.

funny there should be a posting about vertical doors. i actually just got my car back the other day from my local dealership. this is the second time ive had to bring my car in due to the problems the doors have caused. ive already spent more than half of the original cost to install them, on repairs. but i guess thats just the price you pay for having really cool doors,...right?
