Interesting car. I assume the designer had no reason to be concerned about what was going on behind a car that looks that fast. I promise you, looking in the rear view mirror wouldn't come up at all if I was driving it.

Interesting as well as very nice looking. If anyone ever does a slot version, it'll for sure go on my wish list.

Very interesting looking car. I have a Gillet Vertigo from Milan Tomasek. Maybe he can be persuaded to make one of these.

Looks like a Saab Sonnet with a Group 5 treatment. :)

I'd be interested in seeing that Gillette Vertigo. Those are some mean looking cars.

Looks like the Vertigo itself was raced.....but looking at the VDS GT-001R, it's heavily modified (which is of course the point).
Always cool to see those ideas.

Personally, I always wanted to see the Ferrari F-50GT actually raced, although I believe that the company was firmly against it.....

What do you get when you cross a Mustang with a Ferrari Breadvan?

I wonder how much weight they could have saved if they didn't use those goofy gull-wing doors?

Interesting. Never saw this before and raced by one of my favorite teams, VDS!
