Belgian coachbuilder Neils van Roij Design, the company behind the custom Tesla Model S and Rolls-Royce Wraith Shooting Brake models as well as, more recently, the (Ferrari-based) Breadvan Hommage, is working on yet another project: the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage.
Paying tribute to the original Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake (though the coachbuilder is careful not to mention the name of the Italian carmaker), it will mirror its looks, including the long nose, headlamp design, and glasshouse surrounding the boot and back end, complete with the butterfly windows, albeit with a modern twist, as it will be based on a newer Italian exotic.

“Designing the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage commission is an honorable task and a great opportunity. The project is equally ambitious as it is demanding. Rendering the legendary classic ‘70s shooting brake into a contemporary piece of car design will be complex. We intend to celebrate the radical original, whilst ensuring we are not bound by it in our imagination”, said Niels van Roij.

According to the company, the modern interpretation of the one-off Daytona will be based on “a grand tourer produced by an Italian automobile manufacturer”, a “two-seat model” that “was produced from 2006 until 2013”. So, are we looking at a Ferrari 599 GTB donor car? Possibly, as it appears to fit the bill.

The 599 had a powerful, front-mid mounted 6.0-liter V12 engine good for 611 HP and 448 lb-ft (608 Nm) of torque, hooked up to a six-speed manual or a six-speed automated manual transmission. Back when it was new, it was capable of hitting 62 mph (100 km/h) in just a little over 3 seconds, and maxed out at 205 mph (330 km/h).
