Aston Martin Rapide Bertone Jet 2+2

The Aston Martin Rapide Bertone Jet 2+2 is a one-off shooting brake designed by the car enthusiast Barry Weir and the last vehicle ever built by the coachbuilder Bertone, shown at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Weir sketched the idea of reshaping the back of an Aston Martin Rapide in the summer of 2012, and the rear took about three and a half months to design, while Aston Martin chief designer Marek Reichman asked for the updated Rapide grille at the front. The body has hand-shaped aluminium panels with carbon fibre work, a panoramic glass roof and folding rear seats, on the Rapide's unchanged mechanicals, including its 5.9-litre V12. It pays homage to the 1961 DB4 GT Jet, and plans for small scale production ended when Bertone went into receivership.
