Bentley Continental GT Shooting Brake
The Bentley Shooting Brake by Castagna Milano.
Vehicle Overview
The Bentley Continental GT Shooting Brake by Carrozzeria Castagna stands as a testament to the fusion of British luxury and Italian artistry. This one-off creation represents a collaboration between the iconic British automaker Bentley and the renowned Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Castagna Milano. The result is a unique and exquisite interpretation of the Bentley Continental GT, transformed into a Shooting Brake—a luxurious grand tourer with the added versatility of a wagon-like design. Carrozzeria Castagna Milano, with its rich heritage in crafting bespoke automotive masterpieces, lent its expertise to modify the body of the Continental GT, seamlessly integrating a wagon-like line that enhances both form and function. The Shooting Brake variant brings a new dimension to the Continental GT, marrying the opulence of Bentley with the practicality of an extended and elegantly styled rear end. This bespoke creation offers a distinct and exclusive alternative for enthusiasts who seek a blend of performance and versatility. The Shooting Brake design not only expands the Continental GT’s cargo space but also introduces a dynamic and sleek profile that sets it apart from the standard model. The elongated roofline and carefully sculpted rear end create a harmonious aesthetic, balancing the iconic Bentley design language with the practicality of a Shooting Brake. It’s worth noting that Carrozzeria Castagna Milano is not the sole Italian coachbuilder to explore the Shooting Brake interpretation of the Bentley Continental GT. Touring Superleggera, another esteemed Milan-based coachbuilder, embarked on a similar venture with their limited series known as the Flying Star. This exclusive series comprised 19 specimens, all of which were promptly sold out, attesting to the demand for such bespoke creations among discerning automotive connoisseurs. The Touring Superleggera Flying Star, like its Carrozzeria Castagna Milano counterpart, breathed new life into the Continental GT, offering a distinctive Shooting Brake variant that combined performance, luxury, and a touch of Italian flair. These limited editions, whether crafted by Carrozzeria Castagna Milano or Touring Superleggera, showcase the enduring appeal of bespoke coachbuilding and the ability to push the boundaries of automotive design. In the realm of high-end automobiles, the Bentley Continental GT Shooting Brake by Carrozzeria Castagna Milano stands as a testament to the endless possibilities of customization, where craftsmanship meets innovation to create automotive masterpieces that cater to the desires of the most discerning enthusiasts.
