Butterfly doors are a type of car door sometimes seen on high-performance cars. They are slightly different from scissor doors. While scissor doors move straight up via hinge points at the bottom of a car's A-pillar, butterfly doors move up and out via hinges along the A-pillar. This makes for easier entry and exit, at the expense of requiring more side clearance than needed for scissor doors.
History
Butterfly doors were first seen on the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale in 1967.
These doors were commonly used in Group C and IMSA GTP prototypes, as they preserved the aerodynamic shape of the canopy while allowing the driver to enter and exit the car more quickly than conventional and gullwing doors.
The Toyota Sera, made between 1990 and 1995, was a limited-release car designed exclusively for the Japanese market and the first mass-produced vehicle with butterfly doors. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is one of the few open-top cars to use butterfly wing doors. This is made possible by having hinge points along the side of the A-pillar instead of at the top.
Butterfly doors have been an adopted design of modern prototypes and sports cars such as the McLaren F1, Toyota GT-One, Saleen S7, Ferrari Enzo (and its track day version, the FXX), Bentley Speed 8, Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, McLaren Senna, Maserati MC20, and Bugatti Tourbillon.
The McLaren 12C has a unique system wherein the butterfly doors do not use a top hinge. This allows the car and its convertible version to use frameless windows.

"Butterfly Doors" is a song recorded by American rapper Lil Pump, released on January 4, 2019, as the fifth single for his second album Harverd Dropout. Lil Pump previewed the track in a video posted to social media on December 18, 2018, which drew criticism for his use of anti-Asian slurs and gestures, for which he later apologized.
Background and composition
On December 18, 2018, Lil Pump posted a video of himself miming to a clip of the song to his social media accounts. The song features the line "They call me Yao Ming 'cause my eyes real low", and after a later repetition of the line, Lil Pump ad libs "ching chong" and also pulls at the sides of his eyes.
Music video
The music video was released simultaneously with the single on January 4, 2019. It was directed by Ben Griffin and shows Lil Pump performing around female dancers and multiple Lamborghinis.
Criticism
American rapper, comedian and actress Awkwafina, who is of Chinese and South Korean ancestry, criticized the track on Twitter, writing "Always nice to hear a new song with a Ching Chong adlib. Guess it's better than 'eyes chink' like some other verses I've heard. But can we at least think of some more creative racist epithets? @lilpump". The BBC reported that Chinese users of Weibo had posted screenshots of their reporting Lil Pump's video for "inappropriate content".
American rapper, entertainer, activist, and former gang member China Mac had an even more direct response in an Instagram post, saying "Let me tell you something, boy. You're a little kid, so I'm just going to scold you like the little boy you are. When you make these fucking Asian jokes, you pull your eyes, you say all of this ching chong shit. Motherfuckers feel disrespected by that. You're going to put some respect on my fucking culture. You ain't going to be making those statements without fucking getting checked."
Chinese rapper Li Yijie, known as "Pissy" and for being part of a Chinese government-sponsored rap group called CD Rev, released a diss track titled "FXXX Lil Pump". The Chinese government-run tabloid newspaper Global Times quoted Pissy saying that "as a rapper, I'm ashamed with what Lil Pump wrote in his song. Lil Pump, one of the most popular rappers in the US, should not humiliate the spirit of the rap".
Lil Pump later apologized in an Instagram video, saying, "I came here to tell you from my part that I'm sorry and I apologize for posting that. It was not my intention to hurt nobody or do none of that, deadass. Cause I got Asian homies, you know, I fuck with everybody".
On January 4, 2019, Lil Pump released the song with the lyrics in question removed.
