Default LS600h Sedan > Coupe Conversion

Hello,
I had a little time on my hands today and always wondered what the new LS would look like in Coupe form. Well, a little photoshop, and now I have a better image of this thought... Let me know what you guys think!

Reminds me of the W140 gen CL...more sedan-coupe proportions. I would like to see an LS coupe but without the LS moniker. However the closest that came was when the 1SC and 1LS were sold.

Always been in love with the idea, but I cant see Lexus doing that in the near future. The CL sells in such small numbers,I dont think Lexus would even consider. Its pretty much a niche market IMO (CL, Conti GT etc).

That's a nice photoshop

However, it doesn't have that wow factor like the CL?
Maybe you can try shortening the lower chrome trim?

no wow factor because...styling is "bland" to most people. the Cl on the other hand...gorgeous car.

Man you have PS skills.

Nice.

Agree with the niche market, though.

I always loved that 140 coupe, the original "big body" 2door! lol

This is a really clean chop, great work.

Looks great although I wish there was just a bit more space btwn the rear of the door and the wheel well (or maybe make the door slightly shorter)
