The 2004 Aston Martin Jet 2 is a sophisticated car by any measure -- it helps that James Bond helped make the marque famous -- but there's more than meets the eye. What first appears to be a run-of-the-mill Aston Martin Vanquish V12 is actually a custom-built car in homage to the original Jet, designed by Nuccio Bertone himself for Aston Martin (it was based on the DB4 GT) in 1961.
