Designed by Vandenbrink, 612 Shooting Brake uses mechanicals from Ferrari flagship

This amazing machine is the work of Dutch coachbuilder Vandenbrink Design, and shows how an estate version of the firm’s 612 Scaglietti could look.
Called the Shooting Brake, it integrates a hatchback and an extended roofline into the 612’s shape. There’s also the option of two-tone paintwork, with the roof and tail finished in silver, as on the car in our picture above.
The 612 Shooting Brake does not carry Maranello’s official blessing, but that hasn’t stopped Vandenbrink from making striking coachbuilt Ferraris in the past. Its 599 GTO – a 599 GTB restyled in a body inspired by 1962’s 250 GTO – recently went into production, and a 599 GT Convertible could be on the way, too.
While the 612 Shooting Brake is a design concept for now, Vandenbrink will build it should enough potential buyers show interest. If it does get the go-ahead, the model will use the same engine as the 575 M.
As for the price? At least £145,000 – and that doesn’t include the cost of the £175,000 donor car.
