Los Angeles-based start-up Shoreline Bespoke is looking to rekindle a love for “pure driving experience” in an era of increasing fuel and emissions restrictions with its first-ever sports car, the LM Coupe. And if you’re wondering what makes this Californian independent stand-out from other recent start-ups, the LM evokes classic 1960s sports cars like Porsche’s Carrera 6 and Ford’s GT40, will weigh 1,000 pounds less than the welterweight Mazda MX-5 Miata, and, thanks to its high-revving BMW engine, could boast a higher power-to-weight ratio than a Porsche 911 GT3.
