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