| Forgotten Shooting Brake Concepts
Originally coined in the 1800's, the term "Shooting Brake" was used to describe a vehicle that carried hunting parties. Playing on the need for storage in the back to carry hunting rifles, supplies and other equipment, this phrase has broadened itself to concepts and modified vehicles that have been turned into station wagons.
I've always been fascinated by the concept of taking what's usually either a high end luxury or a sports car and creating something completely different out of it. I'll admit that plenty of the results have been less than desirable, but occasionally a tuner or even an actual manufacturer will come out with something quite stunning. As a result, I've decided to put together a short list of some well known and some not-so-well known vehicles that fit this concept. Feel free to add to it if you think I've forgotten something that should be here.
Aston Martin DB5 
Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona 
Ford Mustang 
Bentley Arnage 
Lotus Elan 
Porsche 944 
Ferrari FF 
Aston Martin Vanquish EG  |

I think the 944 turbo and the Mustang actually look pretty good.

Does a Wiesmann count as a shooting brake then? 
I never really heard about these shooting brake designs. Kinda interesting how manufacturers decide to come up with these kind of cars.
