Gillet Vertigo

Tony Gillett was a successful racing driver. In 1982 he became the Belgian importer for Donkervoort, a Dutch Lotus Super Seven-styled car. In January 1990 he broke the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) record for production cars with a time of 3.85 seconds in a specially modified Donkervoort. The Vertigo has held the 0-100 km/h record for production cars at 3.1 seconds, but by now, other production cars have set the record under 3 seconds.

The first Vertigo prototype was finished in 1991. In the following two years the car was finalised for production. Two more cars were built: a second prototype to finalise production design and the first production car, which was used for certification, including the frontal crash-test, seat anchorage resistance and safety belts anchorage resistance tests.

Gillet introduced the Vertigo .5 at Brussels in January 2008, it incorporates features from the Vertigo race car used in the 2007 FIA GT race series. 25 Vertigos have been sold to date.
