The Belgian Gillet Automobiles continues his saga began in 1994 with the Gillet Vertigo .5 Spirit, the latest version of the custom-made by former driver Tony Gillet. The main difference compared to the current Vertigo launched in 2008 lies primarily in the engine, which now has a 4.2-liter V8 from the Maserati instead of the previous 4.0-liter V6 derived from a Alfa Romeo. The 420 hp the engine Modena combined with a weight of just 990 kg (using a carbon fiber chassis that weighs just 59 kg) should enable the Belgian-built cars performance. Were not yet branched acceleration data, but considering that the previous engine boasting 350 hp Vertigo.5 the Spirit should do even better in acceleration 0-100 km / h compared to previous data which stood at 3.26 seconds.
The technical framework is complemented by components borrowed from racing (Vertigo regularly participates in the national championship Belca and occasionally took part in the FIA GT class at the old G2) as a 6-speed sequential gearbox, double wishbone suspension with diagram and brakes AP Racing with 330 and 300 mm discs, plus a streamlined care and compact dimensions: the length is 3.96 meters, a track width of 1.70 m, height of only 1.11 m, while the step size 2 , 34 yards.
