Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake

[Mockngbrd]

u wish.. it's just a mule....

wld have been cool though

If you share our love of shooting brakes, hold onto your hats as amateur shooters have captured what looks to be a Porsche Cayman shooting brake mule. At least that's what we hope it is.


A snippet of footage taken of the car was sent in to TopGear.com where they've posted it and, like us, are salivating over the prospect. It shows a surprisingly developed mule vehicle in all black and one of the most surprisingly awesome shapes we've seen in some time. The TG boys are speculating it may just be big cover offering better access to a rumored turbo mill under development. This would be great for Porsche fans, but we're praying there's more. Porsche, just when we thought you couldn't do anything worse than the Panamera, you go out and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself -- we hope. [TopGear.com]

Re: Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shooting-brake is a 2-door hatchback car body style with a squared-off rear.
The term originated with custom built 2-door luxury estate cars altered for use by hunters and other sportsmen such as golfers, riders, and polo players requiring easy access to larger storage areas than offered by the typical autmobile boot.

In the early 19th century, a brake was a large carriage-frame with no body, used for breaking in young horses. By the late 19th century the meaning had been extended to a large waggonette designed for country use. A "shooting brake" carried a driver and gamekeeper facing forward and up to six sportsmen on longitudinal benches with their dogs, guns and game carried alongside in slat-sided racks.

You can buy them - the manufacturer (can't remember who it is, unfortunately) has just decided to sell them. Think I saw an ad in Octane magazine.

I checked - the rims are Borrani Bimetals -- available for the Quattroporte. See the ad in May Octane mag (with the MGs on the cover) or at Ruote Borrani Milano - Classic and Technologic wire wheels for cars - Cerchi per auto.

Fabled Caymen Shooting brake spotted again!
Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake Uncovered? - Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake - Jalopnik

This photo may be the first uncovered shot of the fabled Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake seen in video games and spy photos. We want to believe. From the photo it appears there is a lighting gaffer doing his best to light the car during a photo shoot in advance of —if real — what we'd expect to be an unveil at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Either way, the complete absence of b-pillar and bright paint indicate this is, at best, a concept. At worst, it's a clever Photoshop job from some dreamer aware the entire automotive world is holding their breath for just such a vehicle. Still, we're hoping against hope this is real.
We have calls into Porsche PR for a comment. We'll see where, if anywhere, that gets us. \
