The Boxster-based Shooting Brake is a short station wagon that Porsche doesn't make.

Enthusiasts often have strange tastes, and while we may get excited about anything that adds utility to a high-performance car, not everyone sees it the same way.

Even when automakers turn a blind eye to these quirky ideas, the automotive community takes notice. Inevitably, someone will create such a car. For example, the Dutch Porsche shooting brake was developed by students at the Fontys Hooges automotive school in Eindhoven in collaboration with Van Suur Development, a company specializing in composite body panels.

Although it looks similar to the Porsche 911 (with elements of the 996, 997 and 991 generations), the donor car in this case is a Boxster of the 986 generation. The engine is still behind the rear seats, but hidden by a panel with a large storage space above it.

It is unknown if the design was inspired by an existing car, but the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso is an obvious candidate. For example, the three-quarter front view gives the impression of a 1990s Honda Civic hatchback, but when it comes to custom work, there are many more cars to emulate.

Work on this car was completed in February, and remarkably, modifications were made using off-the-shelf components wherever possible. Interested parties should contact Van Suur Development, based in Lys, The Netherlands.
