Didn't think of the LM002 however the terms "SUV" and "production" are debatable with it? After all it's actually a pickup and with only 300 or so made by hand would it class as a production vehicle?

SUV - Sports Utility Vehicle - yup i recon the LM002 ticks that box.

How many of the Bentley Azure do they make - howmanyleft says less than 300 on the roads (ok in the UK only)

Well it ain't going to win any beauty contests!.

I think this photoshop looks slightly better:

This would have been perfect a few years ago.

Hastily photoshopped out the horrid lower lights, added smaller ones inboard, changed wheels to less minging design, removed extra grille.



Getting there I think, but still far from pretty.

This is closer. Swap the lights so the larger ones are on the inside and it could fit in with the current family face.

Actually that's what I was thinking too, seeing Beefmeisters attempt. Take the "family face", put that on the front, and then take the tail lights from that shooting brake for the back...

(Would give it a shot but haven't got any Photoshop skills at all)

I hate that GTC photoshop version utterly

Nothing fits on this car, not a single piece complements another single piece. It looks like it's made of at least 10 cars.

It's so bad I actually can't believe it exists, or the name for that matter.

If the Hummer H1 is an SUV, so is the LM002. If the Macca F1 held the title as "World's Fastest Production Car", and subsequently the Veyron, I think over 300 units does qualify the LM002 as "production".

There need to be so many wealthy people with zero class that surely this can't be economically viable. If it is made I hope one never makes it up here to N. Yorks.

Styling inspired by Maestro?

[DanDC5]

I thought the pic on Top Gear last night was just that, hadn't seen this article and known they'de made an actual concept. My eyes are now irreparably damaged!

Looks like a poor cut and shut with the front from a bigger car than the back!

Okay, I've had a go at the front again with the requests.



I think the back end is a lost cause...

Well... I think the light setup from this, would look better...



Where's that photoshop manual?


EDIT: had a real rough go at the rear... (no PS...)

Designed by Leepu?

TBH I think Leepu would have done a better job.

I'm not sure which bothers me the most, the fact that someone designed such a carbunkle of ugliness or the fact that the manangement approved it.

Get rid of the turbine lights and wheels and it may look a lot better, the side hump is a Bentley styling cue now so I understand why that's there but it needs to be toned down a little but OMG the light pattern of those rear lamps, did they get an Etch a sketch for Christmas?

[b0rk]

Well thats ugly, wonder what the lambo SUV will look like.

I'd bet the car that makes production in 3? years time won't look like the "concept" which has obviously been styled at the radical end of the spectrum. I'm thinking continental on stilts for the production version, well it works for Porsche.

Great details, poorly finished. "From going from the first sketch to the finished car we did in 7 months" - yeah? Take a little more time next time, eh Bentley?

[chrisironside]

This is the most disguting thing I've ever seen.
