Only the doors survived. Everything else on this Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was torn off, redrawn from scratch and hand-beaten back together in aluminum. The result is a one-of-one called the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage, and building it took more than 15,000 hours.
The project from Niels van Roij Design pays tribute to the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Shooting Brake of 1972, commissioned by Luigi Chinetti Jr. and built by the British coachbuilder Panther Westwinds. The modern car doesn’t copy the original panel for panel — it borrows the idea instead: a long roof, a chopped-off tail and an unconventional way into the cargo area.
There’s no ordinary liftgate at the back. Instead, huge remote-operated glass panels swing upward on either side, hinged on milled aluminum brackets — that’s how the owner loads luggage, while the rear window itself stays fixed in place. Inside, the instrument cluster has been moved to the center of the dash, another nod to the 1972 car.
The luggage area is trimmed in carbon fiber and cognac leather, with six engraved aluminum runners. The taillights hide behind a single solid glass panel, and the headlights are built from 3D-printed composite parts. Underneath it all sits the familiar front-engined V12 platform.
The standard Ferrari 599 GTB ran a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 good for 620 horsepower, hitting 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. The studio hasn’t disclosed the numbers for this particular car, but CarBuzz reports 612 horsepower and 448 lb-ft of torque, with the original five-speed manual swapped for a six-speed sequential gearbox. The price of the build hasn’t been revealed, and there won’t be a second one. This also isn’t an official Ferrari model — Niels van Roij Design is clear that it only reworks customers’ own cars and has no ties to the maker of the donor vehicle.
