That someone is a small Belgium coach-builder. Specifically, Carat Duchatelet is responsible for transforming a Rolls Royce Wraith into a Shooting Brake. Shooting Brake’s are glorified two-door estates and while this particular transformation is technically good why-the-hell-not. The real question is, why do you need to go all this trouble when there are plenty of ‘normal’ alternatives available? What is wrong with an Audi A6 Avant, or an E Class Estate? fully loaded. While the latter two are expensive, it’s still more affordable and way more practical than a bespoke Shooting Brake.

I guess the answer is if you have the money no object mentality, then why the actual-hell-not? The typical buyer of a brand new Rolls Royce often spends as much on optional extras. We estimate this bespoke Rolls Royce Wraith Shooting Brake will cost around $500k, so for a Rolls Royce owner such a bespoke creation is more than affordable.

A Rolls Royce Wraith costs £258,000 new and is powered by a (BMW) twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12. The engine produces 624 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque, and it’s mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All Wraith coupes are rear-wheel drive. Driving a Rolls Royce is like stepping into another world.

By comparison, an E Class Estate is akin to an amoeba, and the S Class is no more evolved than a donkey. This Carat Duchatelet Silver Spectre Shooting Brake (as it will be known) is a one of a kind commission from a current Wraith owner. Clearly, this individual has deep pockets.
