Opportunities like this don"t arise very often. For sale are the two cars you see in the picture above. On the right, an Aston Martin Jet 2+2, a one-off Rapide shooting brake, and on the left, the clay model that"ll allow you to build more of them if you so desire. Or you can squirrel it away to make sure the right-hand car remains unique. If you"ve forgotten about the Jet 2+2, you can use our drive of the car to jog your memory. In short, legendary Italian styling house Bertone took the already not-ugly Aston Martin Rapide and made it even less ugly. Shooting brakes always look a bit cooler than saloons, especially when they"re unique one-offs, and we were quite infatuated when we got up close and personal with the 2+2. Beneath the surface is the same 5.9-litre V12 as the regular Rapide, so you can expect not quite enough torque but the correct amount of noise. To that, the Jet 2+2 adds more luggage space, though no more legroom, always a Rapide bugbear. Who needs friends when you can fill the boot with dogs, though?
