Rapide "One-off" Rapide Shooting brake by Bertone - Geneva 2013


Stunning machine. Is it just me or for real it looks better then the original car? However, if given the choice, I'd still take the sedan! ;)
 
An update. :)

Could Aston put a similarly conceived Rapide ‘wagon’ into production though, we asked engineering boss Ian Minards? Absolutely possible, he said. Will it? He remained tight-lipped…

For now, the company is remaining focused on sports cars. Its long-rumored Lagonda crossover will remain on the back burner, although product boss Ian Minards told Bloomberg that the company remains “open-minded” to building it.

One-off Aston Martin Jet 2+2 spotted in Germany
Features a "JET 2" license plate

The unique Aston Martin Jet 2+2 has been caught on camera at a parking lot in the city of Boppard, Germany.

Revealed in February 2013, this vehicle was designed to celebrate sixty years of collaboration between the British manufacturer and Bertone. Based on the Aston Martin Rapide, it features a shooting brake body style with lines that give the vehicle the perception of movement even when it's stopped, according to Bertone.

Inside the cabin there are four seats in 2+2 configuration with more headroom for the rear passengers compared to the standard Rapide. As you can see from the attached images, the car has a right-hand drive configuration and plenty of wood and leather for the dashboard.
