For 35 years, in Gembloux, we have been building cars by hand. Cars that look like nothing else — and that is exactly the point.

The Vertigo

You know the Vertigo. World acceleration record for a production car in 1994, with 0 to 100 km/h in 3.266 seconds. Three FIA GT world championship titles. And for many, the first Gillet they ever came across in Gran Turismo, at a time when nobody knew cars were still being built in Belgium. It became the flagship of Belgian motoring, recognised far beyond our borders.

Our chassis under the greatest names

We have never stopped since. Our chassis have served the greatest names in Italian design, alongside Zagato: the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa, then the Maserati Mostro Zagato. And many other projects, always to the same standard.

Passion never stops

For cars. For the exceptional. For a house that would rather invent than follow — and which, with the Vertigo, had already signed the first Belgian car with a carbon-fibre chassis.

At the end of 2026, we unveil our new supercar: the Bella Riva.

Watch the teaser and you will sense the mark left by the world of boats. As for the rest, one thing is certain: this will not be just another car. While the market grows uniform and supercars end up resembling one another, the Bella Riva has real presence and real character. It is built by hand, in very small numbers, with materials few manufacturers dare to use. We will come back to this in detail — our partners deserve to be talked about.

In the coming weeks, we will lift the veil piece by piece: the origins of the project, the first sketches, the innovations, the materials, the hands that shape it. Fragments of a story that will only be told in full in November 2026.

Until then, we cannot wait to show you what we are preparing.
