The writer of the article mistakenly thinks they're a big improvement because they don't swing as wide as "regular gullwing doors." Evidently he's never used the doors on a DeLorean. :-p  Still interesting. But after 30 years on the road, I still think my DeLorean looks cooler!

"Apparently they hinge in the Middle"

They do.   In the middle of the car's body. Very close to the position of the Delorean hinge line.  He did not say in the middle of the DOOR. (Aerovette)
