Aston Martin Rapide shooting brake by Bertone

This beauty’s heading for Geneva too. Specially for a car collector, Bertone has created the stunning one-off Aston Martin Rapide shooting brake concept, officially called the Bertone Jet 2+2. It celebrates 100 years of Aston Martin and 60 years of collaboration between the British marque and Bertone.

What Bertone has done, apart from giving the Rapide an elegant shooting brake body, is bend the C-pillars forwards to meet the tall, muscular wheelarches, creating a perception of movement even when the car is stationary.

There’s also a rakish tailgate with an LED strip bridging the gap between the LED tail lamps. Otherwise, the Jet 2+2 is dimensionally and mechanically identical to the standard Rapide (not the Rapide S), and so is powered by Aston’s 6.0 litre V12, in 470 hp state of tune.

The cabin of the Aston Martin Rapide shooting brake features special aluminum, wood and two-tone leather trims. There’s a 2+2 seating arrangement with individual (and foldable) back seats, which enjoy a boost in rear headroom because of the new body.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    Looks so ugly. Anyway Aston Martin always breakdown. Honestly I do not know why people pay so much for a hidden Ford. Its actually a hidden Ford in disguise. Infact you look at it carefully, its fully a Ford. The same with Jaguar, its a hidden Ford.

      Big boys’ toys. As clear as that.
      A beautiful girl can sometimes worth much more than RM80Mil.
