Without a doubt, Cadillac is experiencing one of its best moments in decades, and the future promises to be even better as GM’s top brand replaces current models with new ones (see new CTS and the upcoming Escalade), and ventures into new territories and niches (the flagship LTS sedan and the ELR extended range coupe) as it prepares to battle the German establishment.

One category where many would like to see Cadillac be more active is the coupe segment. From what we know, the Detroit brand is currently working on a two-door ATS, which should arrive next year, followed in 2015 or 2016 by the CTS Coupe, with both models to receive the V and V Sport treatment.

Independent design student A.J. Merk from Cleveland, Ohio, has come up with two fresh ideas for a Cadillac Coupe.

The first one is for an edgy performance coupe with visible carbon fiber elements on both ends of the car, which we imagine would be based on the ATS platform.

Merk says the second study is for a “high performance electric Cadillac 2- seater approximately the same length as a Solstice”.

Head over the jump to get a better look at both and then tell us what you think in the comments.
