Wells Vertige

The Wells Vertige is a British mid-engine, rear-wheel drive two-seater sports car by Wells Motor Cars.

History
The car was created by Robin Wells who conceived the idea in 2014. No other sports car appealed to him so he decided to make one himself. It made its public debut at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The launch helped Wells Motor Cars form a partnership with Hall Engineering and Design which is based in Northamptonshire with Robin Hall as CEO. The Vertige is built on a steel monocoque chassis with composite body, butterfly doors and tubular steel roll-cage. It is equipped with front and rear aluminium double-wishbone suspensions .

It has an I4 naturally aspirated 2.0 litre Ford Duratec petrol engine, producing 208 hp and 210 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. It has an estimated top speed of 140 mph and accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds.

Production is planned to run in batches, with 25 cars produced per year over at a new factory in Bishop's Itchington, Warwickshire, with price starting at around £60,000. The first batch of 7 cars were built by Hall Engineering and sold to close relatives and friends.
