Picture attached. This would be my dream build, as I love the shooting brake style. Any feedback is appreciated, but please don't eat my alive.

 

kinda looks like a honda hatch....
maybe with some eye squinting... mazda 3

 

But you look so delicious, flame grilled baby!!!!

 

Reminds me of both the mazda 6 and the alfa 159sw.
Buy them since you'd be cutting some structural chassis parts to achieve that look.

 

Kinda reminds me of a Subaru hatch back

 

Fugly

 

I kinda like it!

 

It looks like the front of the rx8 and the back of a Mazda 3...lol

Anyway, I think it looks good though...

 

2/10. would not bang

 

Reminds me of the old 70's era Reliant Scimitar or the Lotus Elite from the same era

 

no thanks

 

Shooting Brake? Is that a cool way of saying hatch back? No bueno.

 

I agree what the hell is shooting brake? Also nay on the idea but to each your own

 

Yeah i was really hoping that that this was gonna be like the rx8 chuck norris would be driving in delta force. Greatly disappointed. Just buy a 3 or 6 hatch and put a rotary in it.

 

me no like

 

a shooting brake is a term used for a 2 door station wagon

originally refers to a car that would take hunting parties around hunting estates

The Ferrari FF is a "Shooting Brake"

 

Its been bugging me since Wednesday which car this reminds me of then it dawned on me today:

 

Isn't that the Velocitor 3 Door?

I have a soft spot for those i think they are really cool

 

I never heard of it since now. I wonder why they called it "Shooting Brake"?

 

i dunno, i watched a documentary on the Ferrari FF called "Supercars" on Nat Geo and i just wrote what they said on that doco word for word

 

Yup... Velociter ... doesn't look all that bad in person either... far better than the stretched eggish look of the FF.

 

Back in the day, the British term 'Shooting Brake' meant a car which one could literally shoot at wildlife.
The back seat could be flipped or likewise reversed, such that one could sit facing the open tailgate ( which also formed a defacto canopy for deflecting the notoriously crappy fall /winter weather) and remain warm & comfortable ( nursing an irish coffee ofrflask) whilst blasting away at hapless waterfowl. ;^))

The MGB GT was a 'Shooting Brake' design. If you look at the vestigial backseat is mounted, you'll see what I mean.

 

Shooting Brake to me is a device to keep the muzzle from climbing after a round is expelled.

 

I expelled a round for this design. Love it.

 

That's a pretty decent Photochop but I'm not a huge fan of the idea of an RX8 Shooting Brake. The Ferrari FF is a much better design and even then I'm not fussed on it.
