A unique opportunity to acquire one of the most significant competition cars ever produced by Belgian manufacturer Automobiles Gillet.

Founded in 1991 by Tony Gillet, the company became internationally renowned for its lightweight engineering philosophy and uncompromising approach to performance. The Gillet Vertigo established itself as one of Belgium's most iconic sports cars, achieving worldwide recognition through its appearances in Gran Turismo and its success in international motorsport.

The Vertigo's racing heritage includes three FIA GT Championship G2 titles in 2006, 2007 and 2008, making it one of the most successful Belgian-built racing cars of its era.

In 2018, Automobiles Gillet developed this unique Vertigo for the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado, USA. Known as the "Race to the Clouds", Pikes Peak is one of the world's most demanding motorsport events, featuring 156 corners over nearly 20 kilometres and finishing at an altitude of over 4,300 metres.
