One of the segments of the automotive market that comes to laugh in the face of the global downturn is the supercar one. Ever since the financial crisis started, supercar producers seem to have been on a development frenzy, with the results being a multitude of new models, coming from both established and “young” automakers.

The latest supercar to come to the world is the Vertigo.5 Spirit, which is produced by Gillet Automobiles. The Belgian automotive producer has gifted the vehicle with a 4.2 liter Maserati V8 that produces 420 hp, but the company also offers more powerful powerplants on demand.

Unlike most modern cars, the Vertigo manages to tip the scales at under 1,000 kg, so the performance should be astonishing. As for the pricing, the company claims that we are dealing with one of the most accessible supercars available.

The Vertigo is a 100 percent personal supercar. After the order is places, each element of the vehicle is discussed, being studied together with the customer. Choosing the Vertigo will offer you the possibility to enjoy the ultimate driving pleasure. Feel free to ask bout the vehicle’s price, as the Vertigo is one of the most accessible supercars on the market,” stated the press release.
