The CLS Shooting Brake is long gone from
Mercedes-Benz’s lineup, so currently there’s no luxury shooting brake in the market.
But what if its arch-rival from Munich picked up the mantle with such a version
of the brand-new 8-Series? Yes, we do know that the chances of it coming to life are exactly
zero, but still, as you can see, it would make for a mouth-watering proposition.
Rendered by XTomi the sleek-looking executive estate
is based on the recently unveiled 8-Series Gran Coupe, to which it adds a
redesigned rear end and longer roof. The rest of the signature features of the
car have been preserved, including the styling of the rear bumper and
taillights.
Hypothetically speaking, the top 8-Series Touring
would get the 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 from the M850i models and put its
530 PS and 750 Nm of torque to good use.
Unless, that is, the M Division decided to chip in, giving it the 625 PS M8 Competition treatment.
