Hardly became Ferrari breadvan tribute Presented as a reminiscence of the iconic Ferrari 250 GT SWB Breadvan by Niels van Roij Design, the next idea is already in the starting blocks. And again it is a combi-like project: the "Daytona Shooting Brake tribute". A vehicle that was and will only exist as a one-off. Of the Ferrari 365 GTB / 4 Daytona was founded by a Florida car dealer in the early 1970s for architect and real estate developer Bob Gittleman, who was an avid fan of shooting brakes Chinetti Motors built in Philadelphia. The dealership was owned by Luigi Chinetti Jr., who hired a stylist and Gittleman to design the car.

Highlight: the butterfly rear window

Together they came up with the unique vehicle with a special one in 1975 Butterfly rear window and one with walnut lined trunk. Inside had the unique piece centrally installed instruments and much more precious wood. And at the customer's request, Niels van Roij Design now includes the Daytona Shooting Brake the presence to create. And the construction of the unique with the changes to the exterior and interior of the base vehicle will probably be done again by Niels van Roij Design documented and published.

Niels van Roij said: "Designing the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage assignment is an honorable task and a great opportunity. The project is as ambitious as it is demanding. Transforming the legendary Shooting Brake classic from the 70s into a contemporary car design will be very complex. We want to celebrate the radical original while making sure that our imaginations are not tied to it."

Since Niels van Roij mentions that the base is a Grand Tourer from Italy from the period 2006 to 2013, it will probably be a Ferrari 599 have to believe in it for the renovation. The two-seat model is said to be significant design changes Preserved on almost all body parts and also customized headlights as well as a modified one bonnet is planned. There are new ones fender, another apron fore and as a highlight the new one Rear with long roof line, redesigned Sidewalls and changed tail lights. To the extraordinary Butterfly rear windows is of course not waived either.
