Maserati knows a thing or two about designing a sexy car, but it's never once built a wagon. So, one man himself did for a customer. Road & Track reported on this wonderful Maserati Quattroporte Shooting Brake, which comes from Adan Redding. The Britain native has spent his life restoring classic cars and is somewhat of a mastermind when it comes to bodywork. We'd say this Quattroporte is proof of that.
