Chassis number '0201L' from 1960 is the last Aston Martin DB4GT completed in period, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Carrozzeria Bertone. They call it the "Jet Coupé", and Bonhams estimates its value at around $5.8 million.

It's much better! You see, Giorgetto Giugiaro started experimenting with a replacement for the Karmann Ghia not long after the Type 34 was introduced in 1961. This open-top wonder came a decade later.
We showed you some pics of ItalDesign's sort-of neo-Stratos-like supercar-in-hiking-boots yesterday, though at the time we referred to it as the X-GT

You've already seen the other VW/Giugiaro collabo at Geneva, the Go! The Tex is less futuristic, but far more plausible as a next-wave design marker. Could this be the next Golf? It's as good a direction as any.
Giorgetto Giugiaro's pen is the reason the Mk1 Volkswagen Rabbit/Golf and Scirocco appear to have stopped time. This past May, VW bought the design house Giugiaro founded, Italdesign, and can now have anything Giugiaro it wants, including another 13-foot-long hatchback.
