TopGear.com must confess to not having heard of Dutch outfit Vandenbrink Design before today. However, consider them well and truly on our radar now, thanks to this. The first of a very limited series of shooting brake, estate versions of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. Well, you"ll either love it or you"ll hate it, we"ll bet. From some angles it leans into the phwoar" camp. From others, it"s a bit of a, erm, Prancing Hearse. Thank you, thank you. Here all week. It"s been a long time in the making: 11 years in fact. Yep, way back in 2008, before you were born, the first sketches were drawn. Back then, Ferrari"s four-seater GT wasn"t the GTC4Lusso, nor the FF, but its rear-wheel drive father: the 612. Ask your parents. It brandished a 5.7-litre V12 developing 533bhp, and you could have it with a six-speed manual gearbox. Sadly, only 199 people did. Almost 3,000 went for the F1" paddleshifter like this donor car.
