We are Shoreline
Our Story
Co-founders Kyle and Spencer met in 1st grade and instantly bonded through a shared love of cars. They spent summers during school working for race shops at Sonoma Raceway where they developed a deep passion for vintage racing machines. That passion eventually led them to start Shoreline. But why now?
Regulations are forcing OEMs to make heavier and more complex cars. As a result, demand for a pure driving experience is increasing. We have charted a path to utilize low-volume legal exemptions – and modern design and manufacturing technologies – to build road-legal sports cars that deliver exceptional levels of mechanical purity and driver involvement.
Our first vehicle - the LM Coupe - has been designed and engineered entirely in-house over the last several years. This is an automotive startup made by enthusiasts for enthusiasts; our cars are designed to be driven and our doors are always open. We are looking forward to our public opening in the near future, and tapping into Southern California’s incomparable car culture. Our goal for Shoreline HQ is to create a space where like-minded people can come relax, refuel, and revel in automotive passion while watching our skilled craftsmen hand-assemble some of the most driver-focused vehicles on earth.

Spencer Beckman
Founder, CEO
Determined to start his own car company since age 16, Spencer combined his lifelong passion with a Motorsport Engineering degree from Oxford Brookes University and years of entrepreneurial experience. He drew the first LM Coupe sketches in 2020 and developed a business plan with the help of several veteran automotive executives from Europe’s leading luxury carmakers. His vision for Shoreline is that of a company which exudes automotive passion, creates kinetic sculptures for discerning clients, and gives back to the automotive enthusiast community.
