Bertone

The one-off Aston Martin Rapide Bertone Jet 2+2 has broken cover ahead of its unveiling at next month's 2013 Geneva motor show. The unique Aston Martin Rapide-based shooting brake was commissioned by an Aston Martin collector on the strict condition that it would be the only one of its kind.

Italian automotive design house, Bertone, unveiled a stunning new concept vehicle at the recent Geneva Motor Show pitched towards Jaguar and its upcoming new BMW 3 Series rival. It generated loads of interest before and during the show and it wasn't long before speculation arose that Jaguar could perhaps take inspiration from the B99 when designing the upcoming Jaguar X-Type replacement.

Motor shows are all about cars like the Alfa Romeo-inspired Bertone Pandion concept. The doors are nearly 12-foot long, embrace the front wheel arches and are hinged to the very rear corners. When open, they reach for the sky, as if worshipping the design beneath. The Alfa family grille has been incorporated like never before, and other than that the vehicle is completely unrecognisable, save for the badging.
