Introduction
GILLET AUTOMOBILES is a car-making enterprise established by Tony Gillet, a motor racing enthusiast and entrepreneur impassioned by mechanical innovation.
In 1978, he embarked on his automotive racing career, clinching several wins during the 1980s era.
In 1982, he started the distribution of the Dutch marque Donkervoort within Belgium, and in 1991, decided to create his own make.
For the creation of his marque, he collaborated with Charles Van den Bosch, an automotive designer, and they crafted the Vertigo. This agile and featherweight sportscar was presented for the first time at the Brussels Motor Show in 1992.
The Vertigo was manufactured starting from 1995.
In the year of 1996, the Vertigo established a global record for its acceleration capabilities among serially produced automobiles by clocking a 0 to 100 km/h time of merely 3.266 seconds.
Subsequently, in 2000, Gillet Automobiles launched the Vertigo .5, a more powerful model complete with a 4.2-liter V8 Maserati engine delivering 420 horsepower.
In 2011, the production of the Vertigo was ceased by Tony Gillet, and development began on the Vertigo 6, which ultimately did not come to fruition, with the venture being concluded in 2015.
A mere 28 examples of the Vertigo were manufactured.
