The name may put you in mind of a quilted sleeveless jacket, but instead of natty suede shoulder pads the Gillet Vertigo is distinguished by a Maser V8 under the bonnet.
The car is the work of former Belgian racer Tony Gillet, and it's an update of his previous effort which featured a 350hp Alfa Romeo V6.
The new engine application is rated at 420hp, we're told, and although no performance figures have been released the latest Gillet should fly. It apparently weighs 950kgs, and as the previous V6 powered car tipped the scales at 990kgs and reached 60mph in 3.3secs, we can reasonably predict exciting acceleration for the latest version.
The creditable weight figure is down to the car's carbon composite construction, which includes a main chassis tub weighing just 58kgs according to
the official website
Other key features include a six-speed sequential gearbox, 19-inch wheels, and 300 mm AP ventilated discs.
Prices are still to be announced, but the indication is you'll need something around the £200k mark.
