A unique shooting break based on the Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe, which was photographed at a gas station and the origin of which caused many questions on the Web, was actually built by a body shop. The company Carat Duchatelet spoke about its work under the name Silver Specter.

• The exterior for the three-door was designed by designer Niels van Roij, head of Niels van Roij Design, known for its extravagant designs based on existing cars. While working, the stylist was inspired by the images of the classic British shooting breaks, which were built in England in the second half of the last century.
• The new body parts were made and integrated into the Rolls-Royce Wraith by the bodyworkers of the Belgian company Carat Duchatelet. To transform the coupe into a station wagon, the roof and rear pillars had to be redrawn, the side windows were developed and the tailgate was reinvented.
• Images of the station wagon's interior have not yet been made public, but in the existing photos you can see metal rails in the trunk and only two chairs in the second row of seats. The space between the seats provides access to the cargo compartment from the passenger compartment.
• Contrary to expectations, the Shooting Break will not remain the only one of its kind. Carat Duchatelet intends to build seven such station wagons for owners of the Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe. The cost of the transformation has not been announced.
