It turns out that the usual excuses for denying consumers a station wagon variant of a given car – the regulatory hurdles, lack of demand from the market and expense of homologation – can be circumvented with one simple item; cash.
What you see above is an Aston Martin Rapide Shooting Brake. It’s a one-off model built by Bertone for a very wealthy client. Given the popularity of the Porsche Panamera and the Ferrari FF, this kind of product may not be a bad fit for Aston Martin, but there aren’t any current plans to add one to the lineup. In any case, those of you looking for a way to get your dream wagon now have a very easy formula. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to buy some scratch-off lottery tickets.

Or you could just wait a bit and buy a Fisker Surf, if/when it goes into production. I'm sure the cost would be far less than was spent on this one-off Aston.
That is a beautiful ride...
That piece of crap looks like a swimming pool submarine. You need a periscope to see out of it.
A proper extended car (though not wagon): the 12 SM Operas they made.
