Did someone actually make their car into a coupe or is it a Photoshop job??

After seeing this on facebook earlier I tried to do a coup design. It would be good to see a pillarless coup design as well.

Looks good, though in the first pic, obvious B series spoiler is obvious. And true to it's name, does spoil it somewhat.

the first one is clearly a photo shop, there are a fair few things wrong with it that make it so obvious.

but the dude did a pretty dam good job at it otherwise. prob got the sexiest roof line iv seen. would fool more people if it was finished.

this is def making a good talking point for forums!

Yes it is a photoshopped image. I tracked down the original person who created it. He did a good job. A lot a people think it is a real car...I know I did at first.

You don't see any true pillarless hardtops anymore--they can't withstand a rollover accident.

Simple don't roll it, I'll take that chance to own the car in the OP.

That is nice, much nicer being pillar less.

If they made these, I'd probably want nothing else.

R8's roof is much rounder.

Will agree, bit too try hard on the lowering.

Someone should make that. Make some good publicity for the Falcon but like the Monaro wouldn't sell to well. I'd have one in a heartbeat.

Honestly the Monaro is sexy, but this would blow it out of the water.

I'd have one in my driveway too.

Roofline is munted. It would seem to reduce headroom, whilst having space in front?
Rear is wasted, couldn’t have a rear seat unless you had headless dwarfs for passengers.
Rear looks way too heavy...

The reflections on the side of the car give it away as a photochop. But it is still awesome looking.

A worthy tophat for the Falcon/Mustang to be sure.
