Russia's Yo-Auto concept heads to Frankfurt with amazing doors

Russian automaker Yo-Auto is currently taking pre-orders for its trio of hybrid vehicles, which are slated to arrive in 2012. The triumvirate consists of a coupe, hatchback and truck, and they are all referred to as Yo-Mobiles. It seems the automaker has other vehicles in mind as well, because a rather unique concept car has been mocked up that will make its debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The Yo-Concept is not destined for production. Let's get that right out of the way. Yo-Auto executives, however, want the styling of the concept vehicle to serve as a design leader for future vehicles down the road.

The most unique feature of the Yo-Concept has to be the operation of the doors. They don't open outward, like traditional automotive ports of entry, but instead slide up and to the rear of the vehicle.
