Image Credit: Niels van Roij Design.A remarkable new coachbuilt Ferrari is turning heads with a design unlike anything else on the road. Created by Dutch design house Niels van Roij Design, the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage pays tribute to one of Ferrari's rarest custom creations while introducing a distinctive feature few enthusiasts will expect.Rather than fitting traditional gullwing doors, the coachbuilder has incorporated gullwing-opening rear glass panels into the cargo area. The unusual design echoes a one-off Ferrari shooting brake built in the 1970s and gives the modern interpretation a signature detail all its own.The bespoke grand tourer is based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, retaining its naturally aspirated V12 engine and rear-wheel-drive layout beneath an entirely redesigned aluminum body. Every panel has been reworked apart from the original doors, transforming the coupe into a dramatic two-door shooting brake.AdvertisementAdvertisementAs with previous projects from Niels van Roij Design, the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage is a one-off commission created for a private client. The company says approximately 15,000 hours were invested in designing and building the finished vehicle.Inspired by a Rare Ferrari Coachbuilt ClassicImage Credit: Niels van Roij Design.The project draws inspiration from a unique Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Shooting Brake commissioned during the early 1970s. That one-off conversion replaced virtually every exterior body panel and became famous for its distinctive rear hatch with gullwing-opening glass sections.Niels van Roij Design has modernized those ideas while adapting them to the proportions of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. The result combines classic shooting brake styling with contemporary surfacing and proportions that remain unmistakably Ferrari.Several styling cues reference the historic original, including the integrated taillights surrounding the rear glass, quad exhaust outlets, and the signature gullwing rear windows. Precision-machined aluminum hinges further emphasize the handcrafted nature of the design.Ferrari V12 Performance Remains IntactImage Credit: Niels van Roij Design.Although the exterior has been extensively redesigned, the underlying mechanical package remains largely unchanged. The coachbuilder retained the Ferrari 599's naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12, which produces 612 horsepower and 448 lb-ft of torque.AdvertisementAdvertisementPower continues to be delivered to the rear wheels through the 599's six-speed automated manual transmission. By preserving the original drivetrain, the Hommage maintains the performance characteristics expected from Ferrari's front-engine grand touring flagship.The aluminum construction of the donor car has also been preserved wherever possible. Using lightweight materials throughout the body helps offset the extensive modifications while remaining faithful to Ferrari's engineering philosophy.A Cabin Tailored to the New Body StyleImage Credit: Niels van Roij Design.Inside, the interior closely resembles that of the standard 599 GTB, although several notable changes distinguish the coachbuilt model. The instrument cluster has been repositioned to the center of the dashboard as a tribute to the original Daytona Shooting Brake.The largest transformation comes behind the seats, where the new shooting brake body creates a substantially larger cargo area. Carbon-fiber trim, machined aluminum rails, and a bespoke luggage compartment emphasize both functionality and craftsmanship.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe unusual split-level cargo floor reflects the challenges of adapting the Ferrari's original coupe platform into a practical shooting brake. Despite those packaging constraints, the redesign offers considerably more usable storage than the standard 599.Exclusivity Defines the ProjectUnlike limited-production special editions, the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage will remain a true one-off. The car was commissioned by a private client and is not planned for series production.While pricing has not been disclosed, the craftsmanship and thousands of development hours suggest an investment well beyond the cost of the donor Ferrari. For collectors seeking something completely unique, the project demonstrates that bespoke coachbuilding continues to thrive alongside today's most exclusive supercars.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
