From here: http://blog.caranddriver.com/2011-be...ra-auto-shows/

The Geneva auto show is famous for its slinky exotics, not its station wagons, but this year, one of its big stars (pardon the pun) will be both: the Bentley Continental Flying Star by Touring Superleggera. Built in Milan by storied Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera for a “discerning enthusiast,” this particular four-seat wagon is based on the Bentley Continental GTC and thus features just two doors. That, of course, makes it a “shooting brake,” just like its predecessor, the strange but cool 1966 Touring Flying Star II prototype, which was based on the Lamborghini 400GT. A power tailgate and folding rear seats allow easy access to the Bentey-based brakes two-meter-long cargo area. It looks like you’ll have to put that 4-by-8 sheet of plywood on the roof.
