Wells

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

The car was created by Robin Wells who conceived the idea in 2014. The reason behind the idea was because no other sports car appealed to him, thus decided to make one himself. It made it 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 and tubular steel roll-cage. It is equipped with front and rear aluminium double-wishbone suspensions as well as butterfly doors.

It has an I4 naturally aspirated 2.0 litre Ford petrol engine, producing 155 kW (208 hp; 211 PS) and 210 N⋅m (155 lb⋅ft) of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. It has an estimated top speed of 140 mph (225 km/h) and accelerates from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) 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 £40,000. The first batch of 7 cars were built by Hall Engineering and sold to close relatives and friends.
