This week, we"ve driven the new Ferrari GTC4Lusso. Clunky name, excellent car, and yet more proof that shooting brakes are quite brilliant.They"re nearly as old as the car itself, too, though they"ve changed a bit since their inception in the early twentieth century. Originally conceived for hunting game, shooting brakes were described by Commercial Motor magazine as having "seats for eight persons as well as the driver, whilst four guns and a large supply of cartridges, provisions baskets and a good bag" can be carried" in 1908.Nowadays, they"ve morphed into a sort of cross between an estate and a coupe. Sports car panache. Estate car space. And, more often than not, a soupcon of knee-trembling suave.Here are some of our favourites.
