Toyota's GT86 Shooting Brake concept is wildly fun, will never be built (pictures)

With a silhouette borrowed from the Ferrari Breadvan (we think), Toyota's radical concept has about as much chance of existing as Santa or the Easter Bunny.

Much like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expected this.

It's exactly the same as your average GT86 (née Scion FR-S), but with that ridiculous shooting brake rear end.

A shooting brake, in modern parlance, relates to a coupe that takes on wagon-like features.

If this had two more doors, it'd be a wagon, but it's technically a shooting brake.

Not that it matters, because this car will never exist.

The GT86's chief engineer said that, while he'd love to see it exist, it probably won't.

And that makes sense, because who exactly is in the market for a coupe with extra rear space and two rear seats that are still useless for grown humans?

While we'd love to throw this thing around a track, we're also cool just letting it exist as a piece of neat thinking that will never see the light of day.

Although if you ask Toyota extra nicely, and approach them with several briefcases filled with cash, you never know what might happen.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
