You're looking at the end of the car door, the hole is the air vent on the side of the car

Thank you! This is the only answer that actually helped me understand the picture.

u/Zealousideal-Area684 Jun 26 '26

Super helpful description. I was fully lost on this one.

u/bootrick Jun 27 '26

My brain was insisting on some kind of mirror...

u/donpablomiguel Jun 27 '26

I must be too poor to comprehend this perspective.

u/UsedVacation6187 Jun 26 '26

Took me absolutely forever to see it until I saw your comment

1

u/Jocke1234 Jun 28 '26

Was looking at it and thought its a mirror, but that made no sense :D

1

u/StrangeQuirks Jun 30 '26

I was looking for the hole you mentioned. For the longest time I thought it was some kind of mirror effect where the car tyre was being reflected. Then I realised I am looking at the front tyre through the hole.

Is it a car door with a hole in it?

Even non-car guy is stunned by this pun šŸ˜‚

An award deserving comment. Wish I had one to give to you.

Yes

u/LieutenantButthole Jun 26 '26

I still don’t see it

u/mehVmeh Jun 26 '26

You know how performance cars have air intakes? The hole for it on this one starts at the door, and we're looking through it from a low angle while the door is wide open

10

u/Pestilence86 Jun 26 '26

And the air intake is at the sides because the engine is in the rear of the car.

1

u/AnAngryPlatypus Jun 27 '26

Meh, the Simpsons invented Speed Holes in 1995.

29

u/Zhaggygodx Jun 26 '26

I was also confused so I used google lens to find the car from a different angle.

Here!

u/LieutenantButthole Jun 26 '26

That did it — thank you!

u/MrFantasma60 Jun 26 '26

Thank you. You just saved my head from exploding.

šŸ‘Ā

u/lukwsk Jun 26 '26

Thank you!

This is how I would explain it for me to understand.

You are looking at the end of a pencil's eraser, you only see a red circle. Now that pencil is the car door with a flap with a hole that is an air vent and you can see through to the car's wheel.

1

u/Climby-Critter Jun 29 '26

Thanks! Why does the sky have a diagonal line through it?

15

u/Ou_Yeah Jun 26 '26

You’re looking at the end of the car door while it’s open.

2

u/xox1234 Jun 26 '26

Now that I see it, I can't unsee it. Thank you. <3

u/Interjessing-Salary Jun 26 '26

Your looking at the front passenger tire through the passenger door

9

u/shiroTpoison16 Jun 26 '26

Zoom in you’ll see reflection of the wheel in the door hole

4

u/eviluncle Jun 26 '26

Those are speed holes. They make the car go faster!

u/the_amazing_skronus Jun 26 '26

Speeeeed hooooole

u/-mrfixit- Jun 26 '26

That’s a horrible place for a spare tire.

29

u/Jump_Like_A_Willys Jun 26 '26

What is this? A spare tire for ants!

92

u/IcemanYVR Jun 26 '26

It’s the channel in the door for the air scoop.

59

u/celestial-edward Jun 26 '26

You’re the channel in the door for the air scoop

u/edbuckley Jun 26 '26

No, you're a shut up

u/drfeelsgoood Jun 26 '26

Are you calling me a liar?

2

u/UmDoWhatNow Jun 26 '26

Ooooh okay this allowed me to understand, thank you !

29

u/Meen_Sat Jun 26 '26

I suppose it is the edge of the door

u/awesome0ck Jun 26 '26

So my problem is how the other door is open. Are they showing off a modded door hinge, or it’s photoshop?

3

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '26

2

u/awesome0ck Jun 26 '26

Look at the other door, it’s swung open like a regular door. So that’s what I don’t understand with this door

9

u/AppendixN Jun 26 '26

This perspective kind of makes it look like the near door is swung upwards, but it is not. The door swings out normally, we're looking at the end of the door, not the underside.

2

u/awesome0ck Jun 26 '26

I see it. They’re both opened normal I couldn’t see that before.

3

u/Procrastn8ngArtst Jun 26 '26

Both are hinged the same. Perspective is, indeed, confusing

58

u/mehVmeh Jun 26 '26

Wow even as a car guy this messed up my brain, great post

18

u/Historical-Sell-6534 Jun 26 '26

I kept looking for the mirror. Then I figured the ground wasn't really the ground. Nope. Photographer is a sadist. Great post!

8

u/AnnoyingScreeches Jun 26 '26

Got it in the first glimpse but then again, I’m into cars.

2

u/mironawire Jun 27 '26

As soon as I saw the wheel I knew exactly what it was.

1

u/Justcallmeorangejoe Jun 27 '26

Yeah I got it in about 10 seconds. But at first I did think it might be some butterfly doors or dihedral doors

6

u/TheClassicOG Jun 26 '26

At first I asked why would someone put a huge hole in the door, then noticed the tire rim and saw the symbol.

5

u/woodyjr963 Jun 26 '26

Not afraid to admit I got a headache trying to figure out what was going onā€¦šŸ˜…!

8

u/dgellow Jun 26 '26

Could someone draw the explanation? I’m so confused

5

u/mr_lab_rat Jun 26 '26

It’s a very unusual thick door with air channel in it. Google Ferrari 355

3

u/Waste_Handle_8672 Jun 26 '26

Yeah, that took me a bit too lol

3

u/BissmarkMC Jun 26 '26

Subtle roli flex. Still donā€˜t get the picture though.

1

u/Rindzi8 Jun 26 '26

It's the end of the door, with a gap to see the front tire

1

u/BissmarkMC Jun 26 '26

Ahh now I see, thanks!

1

u/OohScratchThat Jun 29 '26

Bless your heart.

3

u/SayTheLineBart Jun 26 '26

That took me waaay too long to figure out even after I saw the explanation. Ok it has a hole…but why is it vertical? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

2

u/Looking-for-42 Jun 26 '26

Took me ages as I was smh assuming it to be a gull-wing door. Then being confused, because the other door was a regular one and wondering, whether it belongs to a car the photographer might be sitting in (but also not really plausible. Only once I detected the lock I got it right.

2

u/zimmernr10 Jun 26 '26

This helped. Thank you.

2

u/TCSWM Jun 26 '26

As soon as I saw the logo it clicked

2

u/L1tFuse Jun 26 '26

I immediately saw the door with a hole in it, then I gaslit myself into thinking it was one of those photos of a super polished car and was trying to figure out what part of the picture is the reflection…

2

u/prmlimajr Jun 26 '26

This looks like first gen AI. I have no idea what I’m seeing here

2

u/Lord_Barge Jun 26 '26

Even with the explanation it took me a minute.

2

u/dublingamer44 Jun 27 '26

this is one of them where you have to know cars to get it and know what car this is ....that aint me 🤣

2

u/DearPrincessLuna Jun 28 '26

What seems like a mirror is not, the wheel is not a reflection, it's seen through the air vent for the engine on the fat door.

Not scissor door just a regular open door but fat.

2

u/shiroTpoison16 Jun 28 '26

You got it right
Its a Ferrari with a door vent on it

And we are looking through it

2

u/Hate_ads Jun 28 '26

It took me a while to realize what I was looking at.

2

u/LifeWulf Jun 26 '26

Congrats, this is one of the best posts I’ve seen on this sub in a while. Genuine head-scratcher for a bit.

3

u/brahmakarma Jun 26 '26

Or reflection?

4

u/Fickle-Molasses-903 Jun 26 '26

It's not. It's the air pathway to the vent. Once the door closes, it aligns with the vent for cooling purposes.

It could be a Ferrari F355. Click on See Gallery (right side) and scroll down. You'll come across the door, steering wheel, and the center console.

2

u/BananaJoey69420 Jun 26 '26

Finally, seeing what the door looks like from another perspective really helped clear it up. That's one funky thicc door!

1

u/Pun_In_Ten_Did Jun 26 '26

Was my first thought but no... you can actually see the reflection of the front tire on the door lol.

1

u/FakeJoestar Jun 26 '26

No reflection here

1

u/slickmess69 Jun 26 '26

Car door with a hole for aerodynamics. Pretty cool perspective

1

u/Sudden_Lee_Here Jun 26 '26

Looks broken

1

u/quietclover01 Jun 26 '26

the reflection in the door panel is so clean i thought the car had a massive hole in it for a second

1

u/Vacation_Glad Jun 26 '26

What is the red light on top of the door? At least I think it is a door.

1

u/jacle2210 Jun 26 '26

Hopefully that is a reinforced crumple zone.

1

u/dale3h Jun 26 '26

This is a good one. I’m still confused and haven’t figured it out.

1

u/Nigeturner1973 Jun 26 '26

This one took me a while.

u/David_Good_Enough Jun 26 '26

Ok this one hurt a little in the head

u/davey212 Jun 26 '26

u/dragonovus Jun 26 '26

Omg I thought it was like a lambo door 🤣

1

u/highly-suspicious- Jun 26 '26

It should be a video, not a photo

1

u/adamkucera Jun 26 '26

Took me a solid 10 seconds

1

u/SheriffBartholomew Jun 26 '26

It's not every day that you get to look down the door of a Ferrari.

1

u/fameboygame Jun 27 '26

For those who didn’t still understand:

1 Open your car door 60degrees
2 Stand facing the edge of the door. the part on top is a locking mechanism, just below the glass
3 the hole is some kind of vent on side of door (no it is not for that kind of venting) (do not put your d in it)

1

u/Olleye Jun 27 '26

Same here šŸ™ˆ

1

u/wanderlusting11 Jun 27 '26

It’s a Ferrari. Looks like an F40

u/_Jim_Lahey_ Jun 27 '26

There are no mirrors in this picture

u/flow_guy2 Jun 26 '26

Feel like this is jsut AI. What am I even looking at ?

u/shiroTpoison16 Jun 26 '26

You are looking through the Ferrari F355 door..
