Renowned designer Niels van Roij has brought the shooting brake back to life, the Silver Spectre Shooting Brake. Drawing inspiration from the classic shooting brakes of the 1930s, van Roij has imbued this vehicle with a modern twist, seamlessly blending classic British automotive design cues with cutting-edge styling and engineering.

The delicate, silky-smooth skin of the vehicle is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship that went into its creation, with every detail carefully considered and meticulously executed.

This coach-built motor vehicle is a truly authentic design statement, engineered with the utmost precision and constructed entirely by hand. With sophisticated, purposeful details throughout, the “Silver Spectre Shooting Brake” is a true work of art, a masterpiece of automotive design that will stand the test of time.

“Starting at the front the richly sculpted lines lusciously sweep backward. The roof has been hand-made out of one the largest singular pieces of ultra-strong and light carbon fiber composite. One of the first benefits of the carbon fiber roof to the design of Silver Spectre Shooting Brake was the ability to conceive the unique roofline silhouette, giving Silver Spectre Shooting Brake an immediate sense of occasion and pedigree. The long lines signal master craftsmanship and exquisite style. A manifestation of grand touring in its purest form.” – Niels van Roij, Designer of Silver Spectre shooting brake
