Ferrari 599 GTB Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage Details

• Niels van Roij Design converted a single-owner 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano into the 2026 Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage.
• Every exterior surface except the doors was hand-formed in aluminum, a process taking roughly 15,000 hours.
• Broad Arrow Auctions will sell it at Zoute Concours in Knokke-Heist, estimated at $525,000–$757,000, in early October.

A single-owner commission built around a 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano has just resurfaced as something else entirely: a hand-formed shooting brake paying tribute to a car most Ferrari fans have only seen in photos. Dutch coachbuilder Niels van Roij Design is behind the transformation, and the one-off is headed to auction this fall.

The donor’s naturally aspirated V12 stays as Ferrari built it. Everything around it does not. Broad Arrow Auctions has consigned the car, now called the Daytona Shooting Brake Hommage, for its Zoute Concours sale in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, with bidding expected between €450,000 and €650,000 (about $757,000 at the top of the range).

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Base

Van Roij’s studio did not just reshape a few panels. Every exterior surface except the doors was newly hand-formed in aluminum, a process the team says took roughly 15,000 hours of design, engineering, and hand execution. That sort of timeline usually goes into rescuing a barn-find rather than creating fresh coachwork on a modern base.

The car made its public debut at Woodcote Park, UK in July, then showed up at events alongside Ferrari’s own tribute builds like the SC40, part of a broader wave of coachbuilt homages the brand’s fanbase has embraced. Chassis records show 43,802 km, or about 27,200 miles, logged before it reached the auction block.

What makes the project unusual is not the donor car, but the commission itself. A client approached van Roij with a highly specific request: to create a tribute to a single 1972 Ferrari. This brief was far narrower than what most coachbuilders receive, which is evident in how faithfully the team recreated the original’s proportions.

Design Cues Lifted Straight From The 1972 Daytona

The 1972 original came from Chinetti-Garthwaite Motors in Pennsylvania, where Luigi “Coco” Chinetti Jr. and designer Gene Garfinkle reworked a 365 GTB/4 Daytona coupe into a one-off tourer, keeping only the windscreen, A-pillars, and doors. That car’s signature move, a pair of glass wings hinged at the roof instead of a conventional tailgate, returns here as electrically operated butterfly windows that swing up to open the luggage bay.

Up front, full-width lamp units built in 3D-printed carbon composite echo the amber lighting graphic that set the 1972 car apart from standard Daytona coupes. The roofline rises slightly over the driver before dropping into a sharply raked Kamm tail, a shape Ferrari’s coachbuilders have long favored.

Inside, cognac leather covers the seats, dashboard, and even the luggage bay, wrapped over hand-formed aluminum structures with carbon fiber standing in for the original’s walnut trim. Six CNC-machined aluminum runners sit behind the seats, the outer pair engraved with the car’s name.

The car will cross the block in Knokke-Heist during the Zoute Concours Auction in early October, a fitting stage for a build that spent years chasing one very specific piece of Ferrari history.

Motor1’s Take: This commission proves there’s demand for radical, historically rooted coachbuilding. Collectors who prize one-off stories and provenance will watch the sale closely. How traditional collectors value a heavily altered donor will shape future commissions. Expect more bespoke Ferraris if buyers reward bold tributes.
