Why it matters
The Rapide Bertone Jet 2+2 is a one-off shooting-brake conversion of the four-door Rapide, built by Bertone for a single customer who wanted more luggage space than the Rapide's 317 litres. Aston Martin did not offer a shooting brake at the time.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionOne-off ("realized as a one-off vehicle") | 11,2 | Factory production | Registry reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The body was hand-assembled in time to debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, where it was a surprise because it had not been teased. Aston Martin's chief designer Marek Reichman reportedly first rejected the final design because Bertone would not use the updated Rapide front grille.
Beyond the body, the car uses the standard Rapide powertrain.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
It is unique, a Rapide-based two-door-plus-tailgate shooting brake with a hand-assembled Bertone body, and it keeps the original (pre-facelift) Rapide front grille. It uses the Rapide's 5.9-litre V12 and six-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
