1960 Aston Martin DB4 Bertone \u201cJet\u201d<\/h1>\n
\n

0201L, the last DB4 chassis, was given to the Italian coachbuilder Bertone to receive a custom body. After completion, the car was shown with a light-green paint job at the 1961 Geneva Auto Show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working for Bertone, Giorgetto Giugiaro was peronally responsible for styling the Jet. His result was distinctly different than any other DB4. Only one other Aston has been designed by Giugiaro, the 2001 Italdesign\/Aston Martin 20\/20.<\/p>\n

Unlike it’s DB4 cousins, the Jet was bodied in steel. As such, the car is 200 lbs heavier than the standard DB4 GT.<\/p>\n
