Have you ever fancied a special, one-off Ferrari shooting brake with a big V12 engine under the hood? Well, if you have, thanks to Dutch designer Niels van Roi, you can do just that with a very special Ferrari 599 GTB.
Up for sale, thanks to Broad Arrow Auctions, is this one-off Daytona Shooting Brake homage, created by Dutchman Niels van Roij, and it is one of the greatest one-of-one cars you will ever see. It, in itself, was inspired by another one-off exclusive, one that came in the 1960s.
This is, of course, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Breadvan. Built in the, the Breadvan was commissioned by Count Giovanni Volpi for his team and designed by engineer Giotto Bizzarrini, with a radical aerodynamic body by Piero Drogo. The remarkably shaped car then spawned its own tribute act, with a 365 GTB/4 Daytona coupe turned into a shooting brake in the 1970s.
Now, a tribute inspired by both of those cars is up for sale. Niels van Roij has designed several before, and it was easy for him to say yes to a customer who wanted a tribute to the 1972 Daytona shooting brake.
This Particular Ferrari Is a Modern Breadvan
This particular shooting brake tribute is based on a 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. A look at the car’s lower bodywork gives this away, as do the windshield and side windows. However, a look at the front and rear reveals how remarkably similar this particular car is to the Daytona shooting brake. In fact, it’s uncanny how accurately it has been replicated on this car.
The auctioneer’s listing states that this car took 15,000 man-hours to build, with modern methods used alongside traditional hand craftsmanship. Methods such as CAD modeling and 3D printing were used throughout the car’s creation. In fact, all exterior panels, except for the doors, were hand-formed in aluminum. The craftsmanship put into this creation is mind-boggling.
Under the hood, Van Roij has left the powertrain untouched, so it still has the same 5.9-liter V12 making 611hp and 448lb-ft of torque. The Ferrari also has electrically operated butterfly side windows that open the luggage bay, echoing the Chinetti original shooting brake from the 1970s. Thanks to the hand-formed body panels, there is a stunning curve at the rear to give the Ferrari a unique Kamm tail appearance.
How Much Is This Car Expected To Sell For?
According to Broad Arrow Auctions, this Ferrari shooting brake tribute is expected to sell for €450,000-€650,000. That is roughly $520,800-$752,200. The car comes with full German registration documents dating back to 2009; however, in its current form, it only made its debut in July 2026. It did so on the lawns of Woodcote Park. According to Van Roij, the commission was an honor. He said, “There is a unique sense of occasion in creating something that will never be repeated.”
