SHORELINE BESPOKE’S LM COUPE - WHERE VINTAGE CHARM MEETS CUTTING-EDGE ENGINEERING
The LM Coupe by California start-up Shoreline Bespoke is a hand-built sports car that blends 1960s sports-prototype style with cutting-edge modern engineering, powered by a high-revving BMW Motorrad straight-six. If you searched for the LM Coupe, its price, its engine or who builds it, here is the full story of this exclusive coachbuilt machine and where to find comparable bespoke cars.
What is the Shoreline Bespoke LM Coupe?
The LM Coupe is nothing short of a masterpiece, blending the vintage aesthetics of 1960s sports prototypes with the precision and durability of modern engineering. Conceptualized by company co-founders Spencer Beckman and Kyle Krueger, childhood friends turned engineering visionaries, the car was born from a lifelong passion for classic automobiles. Inspired by icons like the Porsche 906 and 910, Ferrari Dino 206 SP and Alfa Romeo Tipo 33, it evokes the soul of a bygone era while remaining firmly rooted in modern craftsmanship and performance.
What engine and components does the LM Coupe use?
At the heart of the LM Coupe lies a bespoke version of a BMW Motorrad straight-six engine, refined in collaboration with renowned engine specialists Ed Pink Racing. This compact, lightweight 1.65-liter powerplant revs to around 10,000 rpm and delivers naturally aspirated performance reminiscent of racing engines. Complementing the powertrain is a collection of premium components: custom hydraulic steering from top motorsport suppliers, AP Racing brakes and Ohlins-built coilovers, underscoring Shoreline's commitment to flawless execution. Together these elements promise a driving experience comparable to the purity of vintage racers, engineered with future-ready precision.
How much does the LM Coupe cost and how exclusive is it?
With production limited to only 25 hand-built cars a year, the LM Coupe is as exclusive as it is impressive. Shoreline has indicated pricing in the mid-to-high 300,000 dollar range. The Founder Edition models, already sold out for their initial year, feature unique perks and state-of-the-art carbon ceramic brakes, ensuring collector-level provenance. First deliveries are expected to roll out from late 2026, marking Shoreline Bespoke's entry into the competitive world of high-performance automotive craftsmanship.
