Nouphone J. Bansasine is quietly making a name for himself with all of his visionary concept cars. From the creator of the [Porsche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-mission-s-concept) Transport (see below) comes the 2015 [Volvo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volvo-xc) SC90. The 2015 SC90 has the body and styling of a coupe, but it is actually a four-door sedan in disguise.

If we’re going on cool factor alone, coupes beat sedans every time. Nouphone J. Bansasine has designed an almost secret sedan, which looks like a coupe in every aspect except that it has two extra doors. A sexy design like this would certainly help Volvo stand out in an already [crowded luxury sedan market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-mercedesbenz-sclass).
