Its not quite the same but this was actually made - the Aston Martin Jet 2+2. Basically a Rapide Estate I believe.

Did I post this before?
This was my racing Vitesse Estate. In the day, a Triumph main dealer sold about twenty Vitesse estates, made from normal Vitesses bought from the factory and Herald estate parts, rebuilt in their workshops. This protracted process made them VERY expensive. None of those, AFAIK had 2.5 Pi engines that at approx (very approx) 150bhp, could have made them micro Grand Touring cars, and IMHO very classy!

Just stumbled upon this:



One of two prototypes from 1985, never made production.

Good find.

Isn't that just a different shaped glass tailgate? F-Body not changed?

Looks photoshoppy, and the suspension is broken

This has probably been posted already, but the Avantissimo is an A8 estate ish concept that never got built.

And their collective grand dad, the V8 Avant which was made as a one off and can be seen in the Audi Museum in Ingolstadt.

To come back to Cadillac wagons for a moment, another member has already posted an example of those created by crafting the rear roof portion and tailgate of an early 70s fullsize Chevrolet wagon onto a Cadillac.

There has however been another kind by a coachbuilding company whose name I'm unable to dig up right now, using materials I can't identify. All I know is that about a dozen have been built. If anyone can fill out the blanks on them, go ahead.

Possibly one of the supposed Indy 500 cars from the window line?

Another interesting variation on the SM theme...

Just got back from a tour of AMG HQ in Affalterbach, where I spotted this.




It's a W140 S Class estate, AMG built, complete with a tuned 7.3L V12, and RHD!

And in the workshop there were two of them!


I wasn't allowed to take photos in the workshop, so I googled these photos on my return home.








And when I found those, I also found this later W220 Estate.
