shooting-brake

Two-door station wagon

A shooting-brake is a car body style combining elements of a sports car or coupe with a wagon's extended roofline and rear cargo space.

The term originated with horse-drawn vehicles used for hunting parties, carrying people and equipment to the shoot.

Modern shooting-brakes are typically two-door wagons with sporty proportions: Ferrari built a one-off shooting-brake for a wealthy collector.

The style remains niche, favored by manufacturers like Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG for its blend of practicality and sleek aesthetics.
