Door system for a motor vehicle, in particular for an automobile.

The system has drive units (5) for driving rotation of a sliding/hinged door type hatch (1) around a main rotation axis (A) and for actuating maneuvering units (7) for maneuvering the hatch in rotation along an opposite direction around a secondary rotation axis (B). Combination of two movements in rotation of the maneuvering units causes the hatch to move in a vertical plane without necessarily causing lateral movement of the hatch during movement phase of the hatch.
