Vandenbrink Gets Creative with 612 Shooting Brake

 Vandenbrink Gets Creative with 612 Shooting Brake
Vandenbrink 612 Shooting Brake

With the official revealing of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano based GTO revival and GT Convertible within the past year, special coachworks firm Vandenbrink Design from The Netherlands have set their sites on a new project and this time the Ferrari of choice is the 612 Scaglietti. Similar to the GTO revival Vandenbrink is calling upon the closely related 1962 Ferrari Breadvan with this conversion, but surely with a more attractive name. The term shooting brake has evolved to mean a 2-door luxury estate or wagon vehicle which carries the connotation of upper-class or exclusive status and Vandenbrink has melded the two.

Recently a representative of Vandenbrink Design proposed to forum site members, FerrariChat.com, to list various types of usage for such a 612 Shooting Brake. First things that come to mind are golf clubs, dogs or pets and shopping bags. What would you use it for? Leave a comment below!

Could be a nice addition to the pool of medical cars at racetracks or something. Anyway it looks just beautiful.

Gorgeous. I'd love one of these and a 456 Venice from back in the day.

For the same money I'm sure I could get an F430 and an RS6 estate and pay someone to follow me around in the car I'm not driving so I had whichever car I wanted when I wanted it. Interesting design exercise but a bit of a waste of time.

Absolutely gorgeous, much better balanced than the original coupé and its ridiculous, ugly standard wheels. Thumbs up VdB!

The Royal Sultan King of Brunei may consider buying this car. Earlier, he had a Ferrari 456GT "Shooting Brake" version.

Don't coach building firms usually concentrate on interiors. Where's the pics of the inside?

It'd be perfect if you guys could lower the suspension 2 cms in the front and 1cm in the back, and helping the owner on getting the Ferrari logos back ;)
