The current rules require four door cars. If that was going to change then there'd probably be a fair bit of chat about it & personally I can't see it changing for 2015, given how close we are to that.

Might be good for future years though - wasn't there something not that long ago about V8s looking at the tech rules for 2016? Might be that coupe bodies are under consideration for then.
