Laguna Prototype One Walkaround
มุมมอง 14K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, Shoreline Bespoke founder and CEO Spencer Beckman shares some of the engineering and design details that have been formed over our three-year journey developing Laguna Prototype One. Spiritually linked to Le Mans prototypes of the 1960’s, Laguna is defined by five elements: a world-class suspension setup, motorsport-derived hydraulic steering system, purely analogue powertrain, r...
Presenting: Laguna Prototype One

Laguna Prototype 1 First Drive
มุมมอง 25K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
After 2.5 years of engineering design, research and development, Laguna Prototype 1 finally hit the road for the first time! Our initial outing was a low-speed affair that tested the most basic vehicle functions on a system level: suspension, steering, gearbox, engine, and brakes. We're proud to say nothing broke - in fact it was a resounding success!! We're really looking forward to a higher-s...
Shoreline Bespoke Founders React to Hearing Prototype for the First Time
มุมมอง 2.6K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
Spencer and Kyle hear Laguna Prototype 1 run for the first time. Spoiler alert: they are fans. Laguna Prototype 1 is powered by a small displacement motorsport-derived inline-6 cylinder engine with an extremely low reciprocating mass. The prototype serves as a test bed while we develop the vehicle's systems to meet our exacting requirements for driving performance, reliability and usability. In...
Are you in Redondo?
Honestly I enjoy the ‘chop’ sound of its idle tune. It’s a sound uniquely suited for enthusiasts. You do you, I love to see it, but I think that you should keep it. That also lets you get away with some more fun parts and probably a lighter flywheel
I know that this engine is probably enough in this car and it's really unique, revs high and all. But an S54 in this thing would be next level haha.
For what you’re asking it better be world class….I like the k1600 power plant and the chassis does look pretty awesome….but for $500k I’d take a Tecnam P92 Echo or a Brabus Axopar 37 XC and have money left over for a spec Miata or 997. You’ll sell all 75 and that’s pretty rad by itself. Excited to see what Jay Leno thinks of it.
You are absolutely right that Laguna has to be world-class! We can't wait for Jay to see it either. Thank you for your support!
I love the concept, the rendering of the eventual body looks incredible. Is there any way to switch over to a conventional manual transmission? The market for unique specialty builds seems to favor the manual transmissions. Gordon Murry stated that he felt kind of foolish for bothering to create an auto version of one of his recent creations, because everybody ordered it with a manual. Either way, keep up the good work.
Great question James: Laguna's motorsport ethos coupled with a sequential transmission makes sense for us in a way that did not fit the T50's character. Our customers are see Laguna's sequential gearbox as a standout feature and something that really sets it apart in terms of the driving experience. Thank you for your comment!
@@ShorelineBespoke is there a clutch pedal?
@@jamescaldwell5 Yes!
This would be sweet Electric, so fast and torque
Did you consider the Honda Gold Wing six for this as well? Like the Beemer, it would require some adapting, but it might be six to nine inches shorter - that forward lean of the BMW and need for an adapter has to add length. Or were there reasons not to do that, like more difficulty in in actually making it work, or the image superiority of a Beemer motor over a Honda in a high-end machine?
Great question: we developed Laguna's character around a lightweight, compact, and high-revving naturally aspirated engine. We took many engines into consideration at the feasibility stage of our development program and came to find our BMW engine was the best match for the Laguna's character.
@@ShorelineBespoke Ah. And the Beemer probably revs higher, whereas the Honda's sweet spot is at medium speed. You would, of course, want a Six for the smoothness, the sound, and the high-end connotations - this has got to be a pretty expensive car, and a buzzy, thrashy Four doesn't quite feel like something someone should pay a house-sized lump of money for.
@@Baribrotzer you hit the nail on the head!
Im curious to learn more about the differential. Where did it come from or is it bespoke as well?
Laguna's limited-slip differential is a built-to-order unit! Thank you for your comment!
I like this without the body, just as it sits...
Us too! Thanks for your comment!
What’s in the ammo box? Battery storage?
Wow, that engine sound 😍😍😍😍
We agree! Thank you for your comment!
@@ShorelineBespoke please tell me what box this is? also from BMW K1600?
not really a fan of the comming bodywork. but it's fantastic to see such a project getting into real life.
Why carbon fiber everywhere?..... Is there a reason we need thousands in carbon rather than fiberglass? I feel like carbon fiber is excessively expensive and over hyped. If you want this to be enthusiast grade and also not neck breaking expensive then don't fill it with carbon fiber. It would be like making all the electronics from gold because its the best metal for conductivity. Its just not practical, cheaper isn't always a compromise.
Very cool, given the Motorsport nature, surprised not to see solid state and keypad type controller for wiring and switches…rad either way.
Can you order one in sheetmetal instead of Carbon fiber?
The use of carbon fiber is necessary to achieve Laguna's production weight target of 1,400 pounds! Thanks for your comment!
super cool build.
Thank you for your support!
what rubber ya got on it?
Laguna Prototype One is shown with a prototype-only wheel package, which consists of 225/45R15 front and 245/40R15 rear. Production vehicles will utilize a 17" wheel and slightly wider tires. Thanks for your comment!
Can't wait to see the finished product. Looks beautiful. How much are we talking here?
Love the footprint!
Thank you for the support! We love your profile picture as well, long live the small driver's cars!
Love the space frame
Thank you for the support! Please share if you feel so inclined!
Nice! Will you get this street legal? What about all the regulations about safety and emissions?
Thank you for your support! Laguna is being developed as a full production vehicle and will meet all relevant regulations in our target markets.
Engine sound WoW! Ammo box idea cute, wiring inside the box, looks like a high school project ..
We agree - even at this stage the engine sounds incredible! Most of the wiring seen in this video comes directly from BMW; let's just say we hid it for a reason! The modified harness was the most efficient way for us to perform initial testing. Production vehicles will of course utilize a bespoke wiring harness. Thanks for the comment!
I was wondering what was in that ammo can. Great build!
Thank you for your support! Please share if you feel so inclined!
I reaaaaaally wanna see it in action
Look for a video on that next month!
When can we see it running on a track?
You can expect coverage of track testing next month! Thank you for your support!
@@ShorelineBespoke Looking forward to it.
If I'm guessing right and you utilized the enigne and transmission out of the K1600GT, are there plans to integrate a reversing gearbox into it? or do ya just get out and push
Great question - Laguna's six-speed sequential gearbox is complemented by a custom transaxle that incorporates a limited-slip differential as well as a reverse gear. The gearshift in the car operates both gearboxes simultaneously when selecting reverse. More on that in an upcoming video! Thank you for your support!
Are you going to sell the full car or sell it as a kit?
Laguna is being developed as a full production vehicle and will meet all relevant regulations in our target markets. Thanks for commenting!
awesome!! Front tires seem a bit too wide though. Elise/Exige level contact patches should be plenty, with a bit of extra sidewall for ride comfort and more 60's era driving sensation. Let it roll a bit!
Thank you for your support! Our prototype vehicle is wearing "temporary" wheels and tires; look for our next build to incorporate 17" magnesium wheels and tires with larger sidewalls. You hit the nail on the head for where our driving dynamics are going!
@@ShorelineBespoke excellent. I've driven cars with mega grip and they're great but the most fun has been on skinnier rubber: Opel Speedster on the Nurburgring, 308GTS Ferrari on Road America and auto-xing, Fiat X1/9 on a pro Kart Track, etc. Lightweight + modest, zesty power + engine in the middle + delicate steering + twisty road = driving nirvana! Best wishes on making your vision a reality. Who knows, I may come into enough disposable cash someday to buy one :)
This thing is seriously ace, well done man. With a bit more energy in your videos you'll be hitting a million views in no time!
Thank you for your support!
Project seems really cool so far! Doesn't seem like a great place for the battery kill switch though. It should be up high, out of the way of any road/track/tire debris, and in full visibility for track officials. You may also want some toggle guards to your switch panel to avoid accidentally nudging them
I totally agree, normally its mounted in a common position, like on the cowling ahead of the windshield or just behind the B pillar. Currently track officials wouldn't even bother using it as they wouldn't even know its there. nonetheless, this thing is awesome, cant wait to see more about the engine configuration.
Thank you for the support! We are performing initial testing on a private track with a safety crew who is fully debriefed on Laguna's safety critical systems. Look for a video on that soon!
I appreciate the build and understand this is a prototype. With that said, the ammo can looks out of place. With all the fabrication why not create your own box? Otherwise good job thus far.
We're glad you appreciate Laguna Prototype One! Regarding the ammo box, you can read more about the specific needs this easily available item met for us with at shorelinebespoke.com/updates/edition-thirteen.
I love the idea of gauges on the “arm rest?”. Kinda just there for legal reasons, looks beautiful, and will force the driver to really learn the car and all its sounds to estimate the rpm and speed
The prototype gauge cluster is really just there to keep the engine happy! It looks for signals from the digital dashboard, so we have installed it just to keep the motor happy (and make it easier to know when we're in neutral). Production vehicles will have bespoke analogue gauges along a dash structure, which you can see in more detail at shorelinebespoke.com/laguna Thanks for the comment!
This is what I miss, Small Supercars! Ty for this
Thank you for your support! Please share if you feel so inclined!
Looks rather small. Would someone who‘s over 6 feet tall even fit in there?
Not in these prototype seats, but production seats will be moulded into the carbon fiber interior panel and we have already fitted a 6'6" occupant in an early version of those! A number of additional geometry changes have taken place since this chassis was built that result in a more spacious interior feel. Thanks for the comment!
@@ShorelineBespoke Very nice!
Lindaso, me encanta cabron
Standard operating procedure for fighter jet
Would love to see the some of the wiring through the rest of the vehicle
We will be covering Laguna's electrical system in an upcoming video! Thanks for the comment!
nice
Thank you for the support! Please share if you feel so inclined!
What's the general price range you guys are looking for?
Is the carbon interior due to be wet lay, infusion or pre-preg carbon? I reckon a nice herringbone down the centreline would look elegant as hell
You read our minds!
Can’t take my focus off the tractors linch pin clips on the wheels….
Hi Mike, those hilariously oversized pins are an additional safety step for our prototype vehicle's bespoke center lock wheels! Production vehicles will have a similar feature that is internal to the axle and therefore not visible. Thanks for your comment!
@@ShorelineBespoke thanks for the reply. I was just giving ya crap. I know it’s a prototype. I built Formula SAE cars back in College.
I am hoping version 2 will have impact absorbing structures- at a suitable height. And it's fuel cell well within the main tubular frame.
Hi Robert, you are absolutely right in expecting production models to have impact-absorbing features at regulation height. Laguna is designed as a road-legal vehicle, and as such, is built to all relevant worldwide automotive safety standards. While Laguna Prototype One is essentially a test mule that proves all of our chassis engineering, our second build will begin to incorporate some of these additional safety elements. Thanks for your comment!
@@ShorelineBespoke Great stuff!!
did yall make the chassi or buy it from someone if so who?
Thank you for your support! Laguna will be limited to 75 units with a starting price of $495,000.
I would love to see more in depth on the 3-D renders of the body
Stay tuned for an upcoming video covering just that!
@@ShorelineBespoke awesome man look forward to it
I would like to see a test video of the laguna on the track
You won't have to wait too much longer! You can also read more about Laguna's development program at shorelinebespoke.com/updates
What’s going on with the ammo can bolted in front of the right rear wheel? Maybe add some roofline support going rearward over the motor. That center section ending in an unsupported roll hoop scares me
Stay tuned for a video coming out later today for more details on our ammo box! As for the roof support, Laguna's chassis is designed to exceed all relevant roof crush and rollover protection crash tests, and built to regulation for many motorsport sanctioning bodies. You can subscribe to our newsletter via our homepage for development updates, including a deep dive on FEA and crash tests as our development progresses.
Fantastic project! Wish all the luck for you guys. Can u talk more about the gearbox and the decision to put the gas tank in front os the car? Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you for your support! Laguna uses a six-speed sequential gearbox with a billet aluminum shifter designed in-house. You can see the shifter in action here: shorelinebespoke.com/updates/edition-twelve Laguna is packaged to be as compact and as safe as possible, and our decision to house the 12-gallon FIA certified fuel cell within at the front of the main chassis structure reflects this. While the car's frontal crash structure is not present on Prototype One, we look forward to sharing more about the specific design elements with you in future videos!
