shooting brake

Two-door wagon variant

A shooting brake is a car body style combining a sporty coupe's front end with an elongated, sloping roofline that extends into a rear hatch or wagon-like cargo area.

The term originated with horse-drawn vehicles used to transport hunting parties and their equipment.

Today it describes sleek, two-door wagons that sacrifice some practicality for style: The automaker unveiled a shooting brake version of their sports car.
