Ferrari Extravaganza

The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 is an excellent example of Pininfarina's extraordinary design prowess. So why turn it into a unique car that certainly deserves the name extravaganza? An extravaganza developed around the idea of creating a “shooting brake”?

It's hard to imagine that this car is a Ferrari when you see it on the street. Instead, it is a 330 GT 2+2 transformed into a “shooting brake” by Carrozzeria Vignale.

The term “shooting brake” came way before the arrival of cars of course and was first used in Great Britain to identify hunting carriages used to transport the hunters in the front, while the special large rear compartment was used to transport all the necessary equipment – including rifles – to the hunting ground. The idea came from Luigi “Coco” Chinetti Junior – the son of the famous Ferrari driver and the first importer of Ferrari automobiles into North America, Luigi Chinetti.
