There are simply too few shooting brakes nowadays, and one Dutch company is out to fix that for Porsche fans everywhere. Fontys Hogeschool Eindhoven Motorsport Engineering head Erik Groenendijk de Laat had the idea to turn an early 986-generation Porsche Boxster into this wonderful little hatchback, and it's the greatest thing we've seen in a long time.

A mid-engine car may sound like an insane starting point for a shooting brake, but early Boxsters are affordable, plentiful and well-balanced. Some even claim that the midship Porsches are more fun to drive than the 911, and the 986's flat-six engine is a dearly missed sound from today's lower-spec 718 Boxsters. Since the Boxster is a convertible, the chassis was already stiff enough to handle the modifications involved in making it a hatchback.
