Know as the Bertone Jet 2+2, it follows on from the Jet 2 concept car – a shooting brake version of the Vanquish – that the Italian design house unveiled in 2004 (and which was itself named after the Giugiaro-styled Bertone Jet of 1961). The latest Jet has been created to celebrate both Aston’s centenary in 2013, and 60 years of collaborations between Aston and Bertone. The four-seater retains the Rapide’s underpinnings and dimensions, as well as the 470bhp 5.9-litre V12, but is clothed in an elegantly stretched body.
