Stile Bertone boss Roberto Piatti commented on the Jet2, stating, "Although this is a concept car, we tried to keep our feet on the ground," meaning that everything appearing on the concept could make it into a possible production car exactly as is, or with little change. To justify the amount of engineering involved in creating the Jet2, however, Bertone would need several orders, allowing a minor-scale production run. This solution would satisfy the needs of the customer and the manufacturer. Ultimately, the fate of the Jet2 lies in the hands of the plutocratic customer; Bertone claims that if there is a demand for such a vehicle they will build it, and if so golf clubs, hunting gear and Labrador pups will never have traveled in such style or speed before.
