PICTURES: Vertigo 5 Sports Coupe Weighs Just 1279-Pounds

Belgian racing driver Tony Gillet unveils the $197,757USD Vertigo 5 sports coupe. At 1279-pounds, it comes equipped with a 4.0L V6 engine that boosts the car from 0-60mph in 3.26-seconds. Click here for first picture in gallery.

The reason for the blistering acceleration time is not outright power alone but because of extreme weight saving measures as well. The Vertigo features a full carbon-fiber honeycomb chassis that weighs just 580kg and its aerodynamic package has undergone 16 years of fine tuning on the race track
